I think I have convinced my whole family to go up in the bus. I don't think we can leave until late afternoon or Friday evening. I would like to cruise up with a group if anyone wants a later departure time. |

Anyone wanting to cruise up Friday morning, we are meeting at the CVS drugstore on HWY 53 in Oakwood at 9:00am. We will then follow 53 up to 75 just south of Dalton. _________________ 73 Typ481

I don't think it was the trailer that helped your mileage, I think it was the average speed of 30 mph all the way home.
I had a great time Friday night and Saturday. The long slow drive home in storms and heavy rain wore me out!
Thanks for cooking Joe. Dinner was great and so were the homebrews! _________________ 73 Typ481
