    Loved the Evil Dead movies and Army of Darkness. The new TV show Ash vs Evil Dead started out good but not so happy with most of it now. Ash still rules though. I think the show should move into Ash vs Vampires, Ash vs Werewolf, etc. type of show is my idea.

    Over the past 13 years, there have been many fun opportunities ... but if I had to name the most fun and most memorable, it would being running the high banks of Charlotte Motor Speedway (CMS) during Marauderville VIII (MV8) in September 2010 to celebrate my 60th birthday !!!.





    Other fun highlights include:

    -- Cruising Woodward Avenue during MV3/Woodward Dream Cruise (WDC) in August 2005 with 40 other Marauders and blocking Woodward to get back into the Burger King Lot.

    -- Police escorted convoys during both of my trips to the annual Louisville, KY meet in 2008 and again in 2009

    -- Multi-jurisdiction police escorted convoy during Marauderville IX (MV9) from the Civil War Museum to AACA Museum in Hershey, PA

    -- Leading a convoy of 20 Marauders along Skyline Drive in Virginia during Marauderville V (MV5) in August 2007

    -- Laps at the Brickyard -- Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) during Marauderville VII (MV7) in October 2009

    -- Roscoe's Cruise during Marauderville X (MV10) in South Haven, MI in October 2012.

    -- Drag Racing at Mason-Dixon Dragway, Hagerstown, MD in October 2004

    -- Running the 9 mile Roller Coaster road PA34/94 between York Springs and Carlisle, PA each year to and from the Carlisle All Ford Nationals.

    -- The high speed convoy on the Twisty Road to Metamora, IN during Marauderville VII (MV7)

    There's probably many more; but those are off the top of my head.

    After almost 35 years, there are way too many to name. Local car shows, long distance car shows, drag racing, road racing, rallies, driving from CA to MI in a complete wreck of a car, meeting Steve Babcock and Kevin Lambert. The list goes on and on.

    All of the above are on my list, but off the top of my head, I'd have to say the convoy to MVXIII in Las Vegas, including but not limited to the Gateway Arch, where FastMerc and I joined the convoy of the KbMarauders, Yimma and Joan, BigDogJim and DWSTANG; Schafly Brewery; Oklahoma City, where we picked up Rachel and she hosted a picnic, and Steve and Joanne joining us, The Oklahoma City bombing memorial; Parking on the side of the road on our way to Roswell NM to just stand outside the cars and gaze at all of the stars in the total darkness, what a sight!; Standing on a corner in Winslow AZ; admiring the wonder that is Meteor Crater; The stops all along the way, the breweries/ pubs for lunch or dinner; Stopping at Hoover Dam after dark on our way into Vegas; (does the party bus to the Fremont Street Experience qualify?) I'm noticing a pattern here, everything involves the good friends that we have because of this site. And a lot of non MM.net meeting up for dinner, concerts, etc.
    MARAUDERS get me ****!

    I went on a Southern San Diego County road trip for photography, and was greeted by the Department of Homeland Protection, local sheriff, the highway patrol, and California department of corrections, and the border patrol. I asked my brother the cop why, and he said they just wanted to know who I was. Had great conversations with all of them. Of course I did park across from a low security prison where family dropped "stuff' off, but I did get that great shot of a 100 year old house in a field

    Watching people put their cell phones down on the freeway is a kick too!

    Practically totaled it but the most fun was actually the rebuild and paint job.

    You guys did that MV XIII trip right !!! I regretted my decision not to make the Cross-Country trip when you all started posting pictures of all your adventures and stops along the way. Stretching the trip to 7-8 days took a more leisurely pace with lots of allowance for side trips, touring, and enjoying the sights. I tagged along with your group virtually by computer enjoying the photos and the stops along the way. The fun you guys had came through loud and clear and Bernie and I missed being a part of it !!
