Home safe from the rally!!
Wife and I made it home safe this evening after our finally third leg that started in Chicago. I had no plans to attend this rally until about 2weeks ago after I realized that I was going to be about 300miles away from it. I figured if I travels that far, what was another 300+ miles and the chance to meet people I have chatted with or read post from on the forum! It was grrrrreat to have put faces to the names and meeting others that I had not met on the forum! One or two have said they have their rooms reserved for the National rally in Arkansas next year so hope to see you there!!
It was great to have met you all and thanks for allowing my wife and I to crash your rally since none of you had ANY idea that we were coming Enjoy the rest of the rally and safe travels to all of you at the end of it

Glad to see you attended and made it back safely Amin.
Our rallies are fun... I think one of the key factors is our groups are fairly small. I am hoping I can make enough time to do the National next year to see some of the friends I made at the last national and make some new ones.

Good to see you both got back safely Amin. It a was a surprise and certainly great to see you and Cecilia there. You guys are welcome to crash our rally's any time, too bad you were unable to stay longer.
On our way home tomorrow.

Hi Amin,
Just wondering what route you finally ended up taking to get out of New Hampshire. Was great meeting you, and also wanted to let you know that Sue now proudly has a little corn husk firmly attached to her I-Pad Tom

I need to get the map out so I can see what road I took to get out.....we took 112 out of town to 93. Headed south on it until we came to 104. Took that and 4 to Lebanon to 91. South on 91 until Rockingham exit, through Rockingham, Chester, rode though Green Mountain to Albany where we got on 88 then 86/17 to Salamanca. Near the NY- Vermont boarder we got into the monsoon that lasted for about the next 120 miles through Albany and all. We got to our hotel at 10pm about 2 to 2 1/2hrs later than we expected. The next morning on the news they showed pictures of the flooded streets, basements and cars under water in Albany. That was the same monsoon we rode through! Oh boy. It was a great pleasure as well for us to meet you and your lovely wife. It was great meeting the whole group!!
