Check in and be safe:coolman:
I most likely had the shortest trip out of all the members that attended. :burnout:
Weather is excellent down here, turning the A/C on after a few miles on the road.
Everyone drive safe. And as BDJ said,...
Check in once settled in at home.
Mike.

RF and Bunny have arrived home safe and sound. Arrived home to 35º temps. 80º in KY was wonderful!!

Just wheeled back into "Bootwash" Minnesota about 11pm.
What an epic battle of shear endurance it was.
....and in the blue corner; Time and distance. In the red corner; wearing silver birch metallic, the defending champion, Mercury Marauder!
After 12 hours, the winner by knock out, was Mercury Marauder piloted by John "Leadfoot" Twoeightyone. :banana2:
Aside from my epic drive, getting lost in Indianapolis (I think it was Indy?) getting "turned around" in Gary Indiana, a whole lot of horrible gas station bathrooms and even worse coffee, it was AWESOME!
My best memories of the trip?
An unforgetable meatloaf sandwich.
Some snoring that put me to sleep faster than my usual on-all-night TV.
Cave crickets.
Breaking the seal on a "new" bottle of Mothers Clear coat wheel polish.
Hearing the tour guide at the Vette museum tell me that they quit selling Mustang hats because "they just weren't working".
Finally meeting Rodney Dangerfeild.
Hearing people mispronounce the word 'creek' over and over.

Correct.
Is Becky safe and sound?
Mike.
Zack it was good to meet you. I do not think you quite live up to your rap sheet in person. I made it home about 2 PM and had no problems. What a great trip and thanks to everyone who made this event possible.

Rolled in to the ol' homestead around 4pm on Monday, no issues to report. Saw a black Marauder on route 40 in Tennesse heading west about 2-3pm east of Nashville. Made 5 Harley stops on the trip to add to my collection and thanks again Mary for the Cape Cod shot glass.
The traffic heading south out of Bristol Sunday evening was a parking lot in places no problems going north.
To Mike and Dan thanks for making another great meet come together. Next year can we have it in April so the trees will have some leaves on them.
Speaking of drinking, Mark do you feel better today?
Leadfoot good to finally meet you and you definitely need to make more meets, I need to remember that Pringles can trick. It was good to see eveyone again, oh and Zack you bum you got my wake up call on Saturday at 7:30am. Did Becky make it home safe?
Bigdog you missed the Tullamore Dew and the Leprechauns.
Gary and Gail it was good seeing you two again and it was nice meeting Bruce and Ellen.
Barry, Jessica and Gage it you guys are family and we miss you. Bob, Ken, Paul, Steve (Embassy) Weymoth, Dennis, Shelia, Tim it is always a pleasure. Stevo well what can I say, at least your eyebrows grew back.
Mike and Dominic and John and any I forget it was great meeting you all.

Jessica, Gage, and I made it home safely. As some of you know, the Marauder did not fair as well. :(
Statefarm is replacing the grill, painting the bumper, repairing and painting the hood, and replacing the windshield. It is amazing how much damage several 5lb pieces of semi truck retread (one in particular) can do at a 70+ mph impact.
It was nice to see and party with old friends. I'll have to do it again sometime. ;)
Gage says :lol:
BTW: Zack, I hope you are willing to do one more badgless grill. I think I am ready.

Glad to hear that you and the family are safe. Sorry to hear about your MM damage. I always worry about those truck recaps coming off ahead of me on the highway. Huge hazards. Sounds like yours is repairable. :up:

Barry,
I did not know this.
Glad you Gage and Jessica are OK.
Good seeing you guys again. Keep us posted, Ok?
Mike.
I was surprised to see the amount for shredded tires EVERY WHERE!! Both on the way to KY and back home. Glad damage was on the "minimal" side and that none of the three of you were hurt. Nice to meet the rest of the family Berry!!:D

Make sure to keep any useable bars on the damaged grill. (3 to the left and right of the badge)
Making the grill is no problem.
Ill give you the buddy price!
I might have a badge with Gods head in it at my Moms.
ill check tomorrow.

As far as my grill, the 3 to the left disintigrated on impact. Two additional snapped off. All others to the left remain, and all to right remain.
Perhaps a gods head badge replacement would work if you can find it. ;)

If it makes you feel any better Berry some truck backed into my Marauder the day before the race track opened and smashed my grille and the track was rained out 2 days in a row! I was happy to meet everyone it was a gas. Maybe next time I will go in circles around the bus turn around in front of the Corvette place for than 3 times... I was told 25 times for a $100... I got shut down. :( Thanks for everything guys and girls. Sorry I didn't responf earlier, my computer has an S.T.D.
