2016 'safely home' check in

Post by will e »

I pulled in just a couple of hours ago. Mostly unpacked.

Thank you everyone for a great time! It was fun hanging with the old school folks and so many new faces too.

We got home around 7 today man I wish it wasn't a thousand mile trip but door to door one way is almost exactly 1,000 miles. Great seeing everyone.

Back home safely too. Thanks to everyone for your hospitality, wish we could have spent more time with you, but had a FSJ that needed to get fixed and off the mountain. That finally happened yesterday around noon, so we'll be better prepared next year. First year learning curve and all it was a great trip. Was great to meet and talk with you, and thanks again. Until next year.

I got back home yesterday. I took a longer route with far less traffic and probably ended up getting home faster because of it.

It was good to see everyone. Hopefully I will have more time to stay next year.

If you can't fix it with a hammer or duct tape you have an electrical problem.

Good for you. I had to come back to the real world.

If Sabrina has a pic of my wheel in the air I would love to see it. :)
