Thanks to Cub Connection for hosting, and for not loading the portajohn while I was in it.
I enjoyed getting to meet a few of you and seeing different approaches to similar tasks. Some pretty creative minds in this group. Got some good ideas, a spare grill casting, some needed/wanted parts, and one of the coveted Cub Cadet wind socks.
Left here at the perfect time to cover 39 miles in the first three hours on the road, the rest of the six hour trip in a lighter monsoon, got to Ponderosa after they locked the doors, slept, drove past the new site until I saw signs pointing back to where I just came from, met a guy who lives twenty minutes away from me, shook hands with several people (partially to help disguise the fact that since I forgot my heavy jacket my entire body was shaking), then drove three hours home.
I loved it.
