Glad you made it hope safely, Jim! I enjoyed seeing you again. And Mike, thanks for the hospitality and taking us to The Shack for the awesome burgers. I enjoyed meeting Tom, Bret, Todd/Denise, and Bob from FEP. I had a GREAT time! Getting to Jim's was uneventful, and our tandem 16-hour drive to Beaumont went off without a hitch (except when our Garmins gave us different routes to Texas from Nashville!).
This was my first MCA show. I rec'd a few questions about my Delaware license plate, but I was beat out for the long distance award by some Mustangers from Washington state and the winner from Maine. The show site was perfect for the event -
Tom's car was the only SSP in attendance -

...which includes photos from Friday night's BBQ, and a sweet 1959 El Camino that came by as we were in the parking lot behind our hotel.
The ride home took 26.5 hours, including the time change and a 1-hour nap along the way. A literal high point of the trip was a detour through the Shenandoah Mountains -
Total distance traveled = 3,406 miles. It's time for another oil change!
