Here's my itinerary.



Day 1: Sitting at home.
Day 2: Sitting at home
Day 3: Sitting at home.

1st day of rally: Sitting at home. Log into KawaNOW look for postings of pictures. NOTHING. Wishing I had gone.

2nd day of rally: Sitting at home. Log into KawaNOW looking for postings of pictures. NOTHING. A few post that they will upload tonight. Wishing I had gone.

2nd day of rally: Sitting at home just before bed time. Log into KawaNOW looking for postings of pictures. BINGO! A whole bunch to look at. Really wishing I had gone.


3rd day of rally: Sitting at home. Log into KawaNOW to look at even more pictures of the rally. Look at all the smiling faces! All the beautiful pictures of the Redwoods and the surrounding area. They are all having just one hell of a good time! Now I'm really depressed for not going!

Day 4: Sitting at home. Kicking myself in the butt for missing another rally.

A week later. Meet up with BD for lunch and hear about all the fun you guys had. Now I'm freaking suicidal, really bummed for not going.


I sure hope I can attend the next rally.

Ok day 1 was Jacksonville FL to Landrum SC, 410 miles. Day 2 was Landrum to Bloomington IL, 630 miles. Day 3 was Bloomington to Des Moines IA, 365 miles and a 2 day break visiting Daughter. On Friday the I meet Ponch in Waukee IA and we follow the route he posted.
But on the way home I will make a side trip to visit a friend in Lafayette CO. Probably be Sunday when Ponch and I split so I can do that.
