As you all went east for TMS Marilyn and I headed north up TX 118 and 17. Beautiful drive all the way to Pecos. That's when the fracking trouble began. More fracking trucks for fracking mud and fracking vacuum then you could shake a stick at. Lots of fracking dust too. Needless to say we were fracking happy to put Pecos County in the rear view mirror. We hit the bat cave in Carlsbad NM and got that off the bucket list. Then stopped in Roswell NM where we traded 2 Holland Hotel cinammon buns for 3 grams of Kryptonite. Noticed immediate increase in HP and MPG in the Crossfire. Home safe Sat Night. Thanks to all, it was a great time. Look forward to see you next year.
Danny and Dan you guy's in Texas really know the meaning of the word "HOSPITALITY" Man I don't know where to begin, most of the pictures and what's been said is a "ditto" and I am sure Sonia and Brenda had a hand in all the hard work put into this. I want to thank each of you again for a really great time! I know it's been said many times and lots of ways but crossfire people are the best! I had the privilege of having John ride with me and man has he got some good stories and amazing reflections about life.

We made it home with out "incedents", a total of 2005 miles of nothin' but Texas, and MAN! was my mind TRULY blown away, and I'm a native!
The daily routes and stops were PERFECT! The scenery of southern Texas is not to be believed, the size of the Davis Mts, and the Chisos System is spectacular, PERIOD! Then to top it off with a wonderful collection of caracters who own Crossfires that love to drive a little crazy, is nothing but PRICELESS!
To repeat a lot that has already been said, but will do so anyway...
To Dan and The Group, a wonderfull time as always, Thanks for all the work in setting up this CAA/TMS.
To meet new friends and to see old friends is what theese events are really all about, not just the Crossies, or where the GTG is located, any place will do. And if I can throw out a small hint, next years CAA sounds incredable....
Thanks for the ramble, hope all the long distant people get home safe.

PS-just for kicks, DC's autostick did get better mileage than my 6 speed, by about 2+ mpg...

Id like to thank Dan&Brenda,Danny&Sonia,and Dennis&Pat for all they did to make a perfect CAA-4. The scenery and drives and accommodations were great. Combining it with 3 days at the Speedway was like 2 trips in one. We all know about a Speedway weekend.
Old friends and new ones is always fun.
Having John and Lorne together was special. (162 years combined,WOW)
We were so glad to see our good friends from Colorado. Its a good thing I didn't know it was Evans birthday.
Thank you all for owning a Crossfire, because we wouldn't
know each other if you didn't.
I can' wait for CAA-5. I wonder where it will be.

ALL, it's great to read everyone's stories and to know attendees made it home safe. Steve (zip439) is still traveling as he is sightseeing through Mississippi on his great American tour.
CAA4 exceeded my expectations...not only for the fun rides, but more so, the people. YOU made this event so enjoyable. THANK YOU!!!

Hi group! Vicksburg was a trip in itself; Dennis you are a hardy soul to walk around that perimeter and a prince to make it with the scouts. Made it home with 6194 miles. Total milage now a little over 90,000. I do hope the next 90,000 will be as good as the last few thousand. You all made the trip a true joy. Thank you!!

What a coincidence! A photo I posted in post #66:

When we drove through that area I pointed it out to Brenda.

Steve! Glad you made it home safe and sound. Thank you for including CAA4 on your journey. Wow! 6,194 miles! No wonder you always wore driving gloves. Love that beautiful custom paint job on your Xfire. It was great meeting you and we look forward to meeting up with you on a future road venture.

One last shot for Dan, our gracious Texas host...
This is one of my favorite shots from the whole adventure. Two of my favorite things-Driving a Crossfire on a twisty road, and astronomy.
