Everyone is here but Laurie, she stopped earlier today to get her camping stuff delivered, and will be back with the kids later tonight after the football game.

Looks like the rain is ending soon.

Its all good!

Tent ciity took a hit last night, had some heav rain and collapses a couple of the easy ups. Beautiful morning was a nice calm before the rains moved in again. About 1030. We all battoned down the hatches and moved up to the pavilion for a couple of games or giant jenga, thanks to Gary.

The rains should be gone soon and we will be headed to LKQ to pick apart a truck.

Great people and having a great time despite the weather.

More updates later,. And pics on Monday.

Made the 500+ mile drive back with no events. Unpacked about an hour ago and chilling out for the evening. Had a great time just far to short! Next time we need to come out for longer, it is a much better time camping in the cool with friends!

Made it home about 6:45. Pretty uneventful trip. Had a great time and met a lot of good people. Hope we can make it to the July rally.

We rolled in around 4. Had a hectic but good time. Super shout out to those who helped flog on the dump truck and I found the problem immediately once I got the trailer settled back in for lawn ornament status.
so I'll be tearing the dash back tomorrow.

Darrin thanks again for putting this weekend together as it was great meeting back up with friends and meeting new ones as well.

What a great short weekend everyone!

After departing and enduring my extended trip of all 27.4 miles, we pulled into the driveway, and was greeted with lots of stuff to do.
But with everyone telling how uneventful their trip was, I guess I need to chime in and say it's not an IDI rally until something breaks. Just as I was getting ready to leave to head home, my glow controller decided it didn't like the idea of functioning correctly anymore, and well, it's stuck on. Luckily I caught it once I realized it seemed to be glowing a little too long. If that was the last of my events I could have called that good. But noooo... we had to something else goof up. As I was leaving the campground, a few times it acted like I got a slug of air through the fuel lines, surging a few times, and loosing power, and such... once I pulled onto the main roads, it was all I could give her to go 40MPH at first, but the longer we drove, the better it got... but it is still acting like it is starving for fuel.

So if anyone is wondering what I'll be doing this week... well, now you know :p

It was great seeing everyone, glad everyone made it home safe and sound, and I'm already gearing up for the next rally!
