GREAT time!! Big thanks Gint Family. Really had a fantastic time. I didn't even get in trouble for getting home so late!
I did get asked why my truck does smell like "camping" this morning however...
Safe travels Eric!

Many, many thanks to the Colorado 914 group. Gint has an amazing place and we had an amazing time. Awesome hospitality!
Great to see everyone. I was off at 6:00am on the dot and on my way to Salina for lunch with Mike and Mary!
Thanks Colorado! Thanks Mike!
We were happy to do it. Glad you and everyone else made it. We had a blast!

Twenty years ago Des Moines would have been closed by 8pm and you could have been arrested for disturbing the peace just by driving after dark. Now I hear it is a tough town... Be careful...
By the way, I still need your Paypal so I can put some gas in the pig...

Great time - it was awesome to finally meet you - thanks for making the stop in Kansas! Drive safely to Des Moines and get some sleep!
I promise to get those beautiful calipers installed on Buttercup - very nice of you to continue the dream - you are a Rockstar...

It's 9:38 am I just talked to Eric. He told me he has 200 miles to go. He thought he may be a few minutes late for lunch. I had to bail on lunch today. It's a 300+ miles round trip. Not that you guys aren't worth the drive... Hey Eric is picking up a pair of tan seats for me from Minnesota Loon! Thanks John!

I just got off the phone with Eric. He's so hungry he's hallucinating. Said he see's upside down airplanes just off 35W... Of course he couldn't get a picture of them but my point is you guys need to feed him as soon as he gets there...

Eric, when you're stationary for a bit and not taking pictures at 70mph, I think some of those pictures need captions. At least of the people you met and the cars. Have a safe trip. See you in a few days.

Thanks Irv. Great to meet you and your son, Paul and Chappy as well. I had a great time, great lunch, great ale and great friends.
Of course, just to prove I'm a 914 guy, the first thing I did was load used parts in my car (picture to follow). Ricks getting a new interior!
