Larry, After getting home late this evening from some training for work, I decided to give myself a break and not go out and work on our 23. Heck, I have worked on it almost everyday since we acquired the dang thing. Yep, tonight would be just to relax.........until I read your post about the NW Cruise in July. 10 minutes later I was in grubby clothes scraping bottom paint and opening blisters. Yeah, it got me all fired up...and......although the chance we can make it this year is remote, there is a chance. Thanks for the inspiration and please add my email to any mailings you might send out to the folks that are going. I have seen the pics and read the story of last years trip and it sounds awesome. Heck, it would only be what?? 1200-1500 miles driving each way? We're probably 100 miles closer than the Shellys and they went! We'll just have to see how fast this old girl dries out! Thanks.
