Awesome, I'm glad to hear you have the camera. We were a little worried that we may have missed out on some great pictures.



We are both very happy that you were there sharing our special moment.

Just reporting in.

Itsky and I got back to St Louis OK this evening. Cathy is somewhere in eastern PA.

Pulled in about 6:15 PM and he had new tires on at about 6:45PM

They will do his alignment in the AM and my rear tires sometime tomorrow.

He will be on his way to CO in the morning, hardly a blip on his schedule.

Rained the whole day.

Mr Hands I truly enjoyed our ride Saturday over the hill, like you if you can bottle and sell it that we would be rich. you can find your great pictures of that at moonshinephoto.com.
I am glad hear everyone made it home ok. and thanks James & Tammi for a wonderful tour of the valley.
I think we both were driving it fast, with you back there, it made me push it even more. Hanging right with me , At every straight away i looked back and there you were. Not too bad for a couple of old dudes a. And the really cool thing about it is IT CAN!!!! BE DRIVEN FASTER , My car never once felt out of control so theres more room to go faster . The real question is just how far, and in thoses hills thats the question. I felt like a little kid after that ride, Hope you enjoyed it as much as i did and maybe next time we can push it alittle harder. Thanks for the web that had thoses pics i believe that was early in the run. Kathy recorded that run and i look forward to seeing it, Hope to post it on here if i can, Well till next
Thanks Again
Mike and Kathy

Debby, I have a couple of digital ones in my gallery in the Spring 2009 Tail of the Dragon album (https://www.crossfireforum.org/galle....php?cat=1317). If you are interested in the full resolution pics, let me know and I will email them to you.

Franc, glad you and Itsky made it in with no more tire problems. Itsky, enjoyed running the Dragon with you on Sunday morning. Drive safely on the trip back to Denver and I hope to see you in the fall.

OK, I got the 1st video so I can show it to you, it is small, but its the whole run of the dragon that I did with Itsky Sunday just before noon (he was behind me all of the way)

I need to compile it larger I know sorry, the original quality is DVD Digital.

Hey Guys,

I got home around 5:30 P.M. EST and had no weather issues at all. If I had left at 8 in the morning like i had planned instead of hanging around eating breakfast, I would have been in the middle of a world of S***. The storm stayed about a hour in front of me and I never saw a drop. But the weather was nasty ahead of me. I came home to find all kinds of fresh storm damage and hail damage that had passed through just an hour before. Guess I'll be writing a bunch of hail and tree damage estimates this week at work.

It was a great weekend. The roads were of course a little congested, but still managed to have a good time. I'll see you all in the fall.

Jane, thanks for letting me tag along and I'll work on the smoking thing...

Franc, Cathy, Jane, you all rock! I can't wait to see you all again soon.

I'm dead beat tired, and I'll write more tomorrow evening when I get home.

Thanks To Valk for all the hard work as usual!

Scott,
I want to buy a video DVD from you once you have it finished.
Nice work and thank you so much for taking the time to set up the cameras and editing the footage.

Good to hear everyone made it home safe and sound.

And no major incidents @ the Dragon.

Sounds like a good time was had by all

Jane, we want to thank you personally for all you did for Debby and I. We will never forget everything you did for us.

Gary, thank you too for allowing us to have our day at the Meet. Without you we would have never been able to do it there.

A special thanks to Franc and Cathy, and Eric and Ruth for standing up for us. Just having you at our sides words can't describe what we feel. Thank you so much.

Kell n Debby

One other thing DMS , that i thought was kinda cool.. When James pulled off right before we entered the Dragon and said he was going to take it slow and for us to go ahead. i nailed it as we left to see if i had any takers that wanted to drive it with me , then slowed to see if there was any body who followed, I just thought it was cool
Thanks Again
Mike and kathy

Cathy got into Norwich CT about 2:30 AM this morning. Tried to talk her through Jersey, NY and CT but I fell asleep on the phone. I couldn't stay awake. I'm cozy in a warm bed with a purring cat on my feet. Z's are inevatable. She was driving an SRT!

She pulled into the kids place and fell asleep in the car. They woke her about 4:30, when they got up.

I don't know why she was so tired, only 1,050 miles.
In one shot!

That is one determined grandma.

Anyway, everyone is safe, home and happy. Another great Dragon.

LET'S DO IT AGAIN!
