Hampton Roads Club Mini

We had a wonderful time.  I think this was the best weather we ever had.  We got a lil bit of misty rain on Saturday evening, other wise it was about 80 every day.  I also think the lack of rain may have broke the record for the panorama photo.  We had cars trying to pull into line by driving on a 45 degree grass covered hill, horizontally. 

You are right, we were having way to much fun to go up to the lodge to log in and do write-ups.  You know phones and laptops don't work too well through those mountains. 

Speeding tickets were distributed liberally on the Dragon due to the extra attention of the rock slide.  Somehow, I snuck through without one, even though my speed matched some of those reported.     Unfortunately, there were also lots of tickets on the "leisurely" Dragon parade as well.   

There was one car already wrecked prior to our arrival.  Seems like all sides were dented on the Hell Bender.  Driver was fine and after 2 days under the tent, it came out ready to make the drive home to great cheers from the crowd and war wounds to show off to admirers.   

The Dragon portion of the road was open from 8am to 8pm so they organized the dark drives elsewhere, but I heard no complaints.  Everyone who wanted to drive the Dragon got to, multiple times. 

Everyone has some different stories to tell so I'll leave room from those.  As for Dave, Maggie and I, we enjoyed our cabin, the nightly campfire with friends and marshmallows and the serenade by the group at Stonehenge.  Queen Bo Rap at the top of your lungs, rang out down the hills.... twice. 

I second that!

Remember much of the area driving is higher into the mountains and that means cooler temps.

My dog digs it better than I do.  She is closer to the Earth.    LOL   

Now if we just had a little fenced off area so we could let them all loose to have a good time together....

The Craigslist posting just expired.

 A few years ago Dave and I were pulled over for not obeying the law in Indiana.   We had no idea. He was pretty understanding and let us go with an education.

Anyone who signed up and paid for shirts, but are not able to make it.  Scan your reciept to me and I will bring your shirts back for you.  Or bring the forms to Doumars Sat evening.

Harry, I am proud to know you.  You put on a wonderful show with very entertaining stories.  Loved the walk around gallery and appreciated a few MINI shots!!  It was great to see you.  Hats off to you for such a fine event.

I'll bring Maggie the magster with me.  Woof

Even though a few of us already know and love you , do get around to posting some photos of your new MINI.  We LOVE pictures!
