By the way. Do they have a special school for those guys - teach how to park on the side of a mountain behind a tree?? :roll:

and on top of overpasses :shock:
The TN boys are some of the more creative I've encountered. Southern 'bama and just into FL once in a while too - hiding down in the weeds with the 'gators :lol:

'bout 20mi north of Dayton. Something like 13 hrs (& change) drive time to where we stay. With the fuel, food and whatnot stops, runs a bit over 15 hrs total. Maybe a wee bit longer this year.

Ugh! That is a long drive. Used to fly into Atlanta and drive from there but even that drive is too painful for me. Have a safe drive - hopefully you can avoid the tickets this time.

I used to drive to Sanibel/Captiva :bang: ... My best time was 9 hours (Kinda proud of that :biggrin: )
Not bad, though a few notches down from takeoff speed :bow:
I'm gonna keep it to limit+8 this time around. Forget the bubble-gum machines - my son (we jokingly call him the Reverend once in a while) is on my case about the heavy foot more than the spouse. Doesn't say anything - the raised eyebrow is plenty (apparently he listened to something I've said :biggrin: )

He must be around....I'd say......9 or 10 ??
They tend to follow rules at that age.
17 In Oct. (He gets to share the driving this year) I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop sometimes. Nothing like the ole man at that age (you can imagine what I was doing in '69 :biggrin:).

Thank you.. Thank you :oops: My all time best was from the Nooga to Daytona Beach in 7 hours (Driving my friend's dad's 928S :biggrin: ). That was when the speed limit was 55. I would never try that again.

Reverend... That's funny :laughing1
