I will just give my thanks to Carol and Gary on this thread, and my comments about the jam on Gary's 'Day One' thread ...
To echo what has been said, Carol and Gary are the ultimate hosts ... it is one thing to open your home to a bunch of strangers, but to provide them with food and beverages all day is quite another ... We could never thank them enough ...

Gary's version of the Rock 'n' Roller cart is a back-saver ...

As for as the location, my GPS said the corner of Highvue Ct and 'The middle of nowhere' ... ... I now know why Gary hates winters there ... and Steve, I had the same experience - 2 different ways coming AND going ... and those speed bumps were a real PITA ... but I would not turn down another invitation ...

BTW ... the trip home was GREAT!!! ... from the hotel, about 25 minutes SOUTH of Gary, to my exit in RI - 6 hours flat and that included a 40 minute stop for lunch just prior to the George Washington Bridge in NJ and a quick pit stop in CT ... had to do 70 - 75 just to keep up with the traffic ...
