    We got home about 10:30 last night, and I was totally drained and pretty much went straight to bed. No 'too wound up' for me... I was getting really sleepy by the time we got home, I could not have made it more than another hour or so. Being the first time pulling a car on a trailer, it made the trip seem pretty long.

    Don't think so!


    Doodlebug has his hands full with her.

    Good seeing you again, Frank. We need to find a show somewhere between
    me and you and meet in the middle. Columbia, SC?

    Got home about 8:40 OH time. We would have gotten home sooner, but we had to help Mark Sunquist. He had car problems and I had to give him some Bulhead's parts(Sorry Frank:whew: ). We were just lucky enough to be at the same rest stop he was. Got to help another Mav nut like me.

    We all had a great time and were glad to get some sleep. It was nice meeting you newbies. Hope to see you back next year.:drive:

    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    Susie and I made it back today (Monday) at 4:30 p.m. without any MORE
    incidents. ;) The trip was a blast for both of us.

    Owensboro was nice, but "there's no place like HOME!"


    Finally, it was great to meet all you guys and your significant others! I'm sorry
    we didn't get to meet you guys who couldn't make it. If you can, start
    planning now for your trip to next year's Roundup - you won't regret it.

    well, if tim's home, i guess i'm the last one. got in about 11:45 pm last night. left at 8:45 am sunday. drove til about midnight. slept 4 1/2 hrs and drove a couple more then pulled off and slept 2 more, them drove straight through home. drove 3674 miles and i haven't figure the final fuel bill yet. but i'm sure it's in the 4 figure range. i really don't want to see what the final bill is for the whole week. but i guarantee it was worth it. the only bad time i had there was leaving. everyone i met was really great and the cars were beautiful. to see so many good looking mavericks in one place was awesome. i can't wait til next year. thanks to everyone for all the hospitality.

    My total milage for the trip from Rock Springs WY to West Virginia then to Owensboro,KY then back home (WY) was roughly 3800 miles......I was really impressed at the fact that the Maverick is a very dependable and reliable car.(y)
