Another thanks to Tom for the great Meet. It was a great excuse to cruise in the F away from the flatlands of Chicago down to the beautiful hills of West Virginia and Virginia. Took an extra day enroute to Blacksburg running the backroads of WV, taking in the great scenery. Met a toothless guy named Harvey at one of my WV gas stops who thought the 300 would make a great Moonshine runner. I couldn't agree more. Fun visiting again with our 300 friends. Surprised when John Begian and I were washing our brutes at the break of dawn Saturday morning, and a black bear cub was trying to get into the dumpsters, about 25 yards from John's G. He (the bear!) ran off when he heard us. Relieved that John, Brian Frank, Mick Kreszock and I survived our New River white water rafting adventure unscathed. Mick and I are now experienced members of the 300 Club Int'l Swim Team, having flipped off the raft at our first big rapids. And cruising home in tandem with John up to Chillicothe was a beautiful sight early Sunday morning. All in all the odometer tripped 1,950 great performing miles in 6 days, averaging 13 mpg, as I pulled into my garage.

We enjoyed the sights, the cars, and especially the people. A ride in a Chrysler powered boat and on the 62 mph Jet Ski was a real treat. Thanks to all of you that hardy souls that braved the drive and terrain and brought out your cars for all of us to enjoy. For those who's 300s had other ideas (whether it be water pumps or transmissions), thanks for trying. Hope to see you in CT!
