This was our first year also.

It was a wonderful time!  I met a lot of great people and look forward  to
meeting more of you at upcoming events.

Our fourteen year old got bitten by the VW bug bad !!   she is  now hell bent
on having a VW to start restoring for her fifteenth birthday  coming up!

Thanks to Hans for having the Vanaru there to test drive also.
It was an interesting perspective on transplants and gear ratios for  me.


Thank you to Chris and whomever else made this happen it looks like quite  an
undertaking and I really appreciate that we have events like this to go  to.

The trip was a success mechanically .
On the way up we picked up a  tank of gas  with some water in it  . This was
easily drained ( and spotted)
  because of the pre pump clear filter I use .

We decided at the last minute because of the weather coming to leave late
Saturday night.
I was sorry we did not get to say some more good byes but I was glad we
broke camp before that rain!

Our only glitch on the way home was losing the trailer lights,   which I
noticed right away
(and so did the South Carolina state troopers !)
Once they established my trailer did Not have 100 lbs  of pot , and we were
no threat to homeland security they humbly let me fix my  lights which just
turned out to be a dead short where the running lights were  pinched by the
safety chain bolt six years ago  .... and just now decided  to show up.

Great time guys ... looking forward to the next one!
