Default Arrived safely

After 5 days of travel i made it "home" to Dallas. All went well with the ride and towing the vette. Lotta friggin hills to climb. Uhaul trailer worked fine and no issues at all.

Odd thing was that after 2200 miles and nice weather I saw a total of 3 vettes on the ride and one was parked. I expected to see more. Saw 5 the first day back in Texas.

Thanks again all for your advice and friendship and please let me know if you are ever in the Dallas area. You have a place to stay..
BTW love the 2.45 per gallon gas here.

Mike

Hey Mike,
Glad you made the trip safely without any road drama. You missed out on a great weekend run up to Leavenworth. Get settled in and find some Corvettes to play with.
