Thanks to everyone who came on the cruise :)
 
Many thanks guys, it was somewhat of a success. Sorry it didnt go as smoothly as planned, hopefully the next one will go better. Meet monster hit pretty hard this year it seems :mad: :lol: Just remind me not to let Hocrest lead again next year ;) :D

All kidding aside though, I hope you all had fun and want to do another one in the future :) Thinking of planning a small one again next year, with more time in advance to put it together. All provided I can get another local member to run along with me on a Saturday. Possible options are a cruise through Valley Forge park with stops for photos, or maybe a cruise up to Delaware Water Gap (bit of a hike, but well worth it if you want a longer cruise).

Special thanks to Mr Mummert, BBQ was great. Much appreciated Sir, beer on me next time :)

Huck and Onor, hope you enjoyed the BBQ as well :thumbsup:

All in all a good meet, thanks for having me guys. Congrats to the raffle winners.

Tom, it was good to finally meet you and put a face with the name and voice :) Now I see why they call you Old Tom ;) :p I'll definitely be in touch with ya soon I'm sure ;)

Thanks again guys and gals!

I want to thank you guy's for having it and all the planning & headaches that went with it.

It has been a rough couple years for me so a little diversion was welcome.

It was great to tag along.:)
BTW... a friend's son went past us all while we were off to the side at Turkey Hill. It seems our SVX's were quite the talk when his dad told him that's what I drive & one was us. Small world.

aren't you the one that got lost? he was going the direction you said to from your paperwork.

Busting chops :D

I'm just as guilty, and I apologize things didnt go smoother. When he signaled left and turned right, I took that as my cue to take the lead and I made a wrong turn. Should have gone east on 724 instead of west (to avoid the double light in Birdsboro we went through), but I goofed.

If I plan the next one, I plan to start sooner than I did with this one. Being somewhat last minute, it was tough to plan. Thinking 3-4 months in advance for the next one, and I'd probably need another local member to help. I'd love to do a Valley Forge cruise at a future meet.

If only it was that easy to lose the police ;) :lol: :lol:

Sorry about that. Pulling up to that intersection I was thinking to go left. Then when I got stopped and made sure everyone was behind, I realized that the right turn would go out past the golf course like you mapped.

If no one else volunteers, we'll put something together next year...


edit, WOOHOO!!!!! I just realized I broke 5,000 posts!!!!!!!!!

Look, a squirrel!

Huck, glad you had fun and enjoyed the BBQ. Maybe a group cruise next time for lunch? :)

Sounds like a plan....though It'll probably be a few years before I make the trek again....but you can always come to the Dragon Meet in June, there is some good BBQ in NC :)

heh, bit too far into the south for me...

If you want good BBQ though, there's a little restaurant just outside Wilmington Ohio that is real southern BBQ. Their pulled pork makes even Muddy's look like dog spit :p I thought I'd died when I ate it it was that good :D And he doesn't screw around with portions either, for $5 you get about a pound and a half of pork on a gigantic roll with a side of mash potatoes and down home southern style soul food gravy :p

In the 11 years I've done the Reading scene, getting lost during rallies, scavenger hunts, & tours, is a tradition. Scenery is still scenery, & the GPS will get us home (eventually). Thankin' Diablo for the last minute effort.

Ron.

Lol, glad someone had GPS :) It was a mad scramble on my part after Radar's alternator went, then getting the call that a couple of you guys didnt make the first turn up the hill at the same time :p

Thanks again Ron, dinner was definitely excellent and much appreciated :)
