well, Dad and I made it home just now.
Josh is staying overnight in Knoxville.
Wanted to thank the MWC BOD for a great time, and the hospitality showed.
I will be returning to flatnasty, that place was awesome.

I made it home safely as well. I was lucky enough to have almost 2 feet of snow on the ground waiting for me to shovel also.

We had several inches of snow on our driveway when we returned home also. The motor home would not go up the drive way, had to unload the jeep and pull it with the trailer up the drive way.

Just heard from Josh.
Popped a trailer tire at the NC state line, Hertz didn't have a spare on the rental trailer AND he's gotta pay for the tire. Apparently the fine print says he's responsible for anything, even a random tire blowout.

I did that once! Cruising along and said to myself,"Hmmm, I don't remember this lake."

My neighbor's wife once when they were headed for Denver, missed the signs on the west edge of Des Moines. When he woke up they were in K.C.

Hey Squeak ... don't feel too bad about it. I've driven that stretch of road "several" times, and did the same thing ... 'cept I stopped for fuel at a town called Lynchfield. I took a two lane highway across to I57. Ended up going out of my way about a half hour.

The sign where I70 branches off from I55 is not the easiest to see if there are a lot of semi's around.
