Larry, that was the one at "The Hub" The drive wasn't too bad except for the heat, the wind beating us every foot of the way, the noise where we couldn't talk to each other..... It was made a bit easier by having to stop for gas every 1hr-15 minutes.
We had a great time and met a bunch of great people. I couldn't believe how much black road cr@p could find it's way into every orifice in my body! Never before and never since have I experienced that. I wouldn't have traded that trip for anything.
Steve, a 5 hrs drive is a lot of seat time. Stretching that to 12 or 13hrs isn't that much more, really it isn't. You sort of get into a groove. That drive and the next Gathering convinced me to put the hardtop on. Then my medical problem at the one in Cuba MO was my awakening that I should trailer it. I believe it was Nick (?) that drove his car a few miles further than that to one of the Gatherings. I don't think I would do another 12 hr drive at my current age. You still have a few years left. You can do it. You can take up the gauntlet. That is, if you dare.
