We had a great weekend. The weather was nice on Saturday but Sunday was a washout. The awards were given 3 hours early and for the 1st time you did not have to be there to get it. Due to the rain they will ship the winners their awards. My FHP did not win any awards but I did get a lot of stories from people and Troopers.
I was nice to meet Danielle and Chris and spend the time with the rest of us who were there. Great DVDs and pictures by Danielle.
This reminds me, for those who were wondering, the total round trip mileage count was 660 for Bernie and I. I drove my FHP with decals covered and my lightbar with no cover. We passed several troopers and county sheriffs. No one stopped us to or from the show. In fact one Deputy waived at me as he passed me. On the way back, while gassing at a rest stop, a Trooper walked up to me and did not even ask if I was a LEO. He was just too happy to see the restored car. I did identify myself but I believe we made his night. I did not get arrested
I also learned that the magnets do not work on the cars when it is cool and rainy. I have to cover all my decals on the way back with only the blue painters tape.
