Just arrived at home about 1:00. Had a great time seeing the usual suspects and meeting new suspects.

Too bad it's over.

But millions depend on me working to keep them comfortably not working. So off to live the dream tomorrow morning.

Brad and I tried to run Prorauder off the road in IN, he was driving so slow he was blocking traffic! :-). Well the old man (me) is sitting at home and playing with the GN to get it on the road, *^$#^&*%$&* One Bad Merc has already been to two (2) foot ball games and has one to go, then he will be home. Gotta study up on the best tire compounds to beat Doom next year, think we were close! LOL
Great time!

Got home about an hour ago, after a couple of outlet mall stops, I think that I spent more on the extra gas than she did shopping! :confused: Just missed Gordon and Chris in Maumee by an hour.

Back at home safe and sound! :flag:

I had a great run Sunday 744 miles South Haven to Lawrenceville:up: 11.2 hours!

Avg speed was 63 MPH per the "scan gauge" that was hook up before the trip.

No issues to report the car ran strong! Best highway/turnpike car ever built!

Tons of people to thank for a job well done:) :up:

Great to some "old friends" amd meet new ones!

Home safe and sound. Uneventful flight. Good to be home but sad MVX is just a memory - a great memory! Lots of first-timers and many veterans of Marauderville - great to meet everyone. Kenny Brown was disappointed he had a conflict at Autobahn. I forgot to mention he sent his regards to everyone.

Thanks again to John, Linda, Paul, Kirk and Joe for planning a great time and sharing Western Michigan with us all!!

Who were the 2 Blacks?

The black Marauder with me was Gordon (Haggis) in Kenny Brown #8.

We got home around 7 pm tonight after staying Sunday night in Maumee.

You got that right!! ^^^^^^^^^


We got in around 8:00 p.m. tonight. Stayed in Akron, OH Sunday night.

Stopped by the Flight 93 Memorial early afternoon today. Haggis & Ladyhawke caught up with us on the PA turnpike around 3:00 pm; We stopped in Frederick, MD for some dinner--reminisced about the fun in South Haven. Time went SO fast!!!!

Terry and I had a nice, leisurely morning and left Louisville around 10:00 a.m., ran into heavy rain around Lexington and had to fight that all the way to Dandridge, TN. Got in around 6:45 p.m., unpacked, played with the dogs, and just relaxed a bit.

I'm with Charlie, starting MV withdrawl. To paraphrase Dorothy Gale, "Otto, I've a feeling we're not in South Haven anymore...":(
