I had a WONDERFUL trip the weekend of Thanksgiving, driving through southern IL, middle TN, parts of MS (namely Tupelo), and Alabama (Birmingham). I even had time to stop at a few places along Route 66 in Dwight IL and Odell IL! Pics, etc., will be ready soon.


In the meantime ... a quick note about 2010 ... the trip, as of now, WILL be in August, as I've noted, unless the Binghamton event is a different weekend. So, if you want to meet up along the way, let me know....!

Why Binghamton? Guessing Speidie Fest.

And if you wanted to meet up, I'm down, since I live there. No monte or 3800 powered vehicle in my fleet at the moment, but might by then. Just let me know.

Oh ... cool!

All I know is that it is an annual car show that several people I know are attending. I don't have all of the details right now, sorry.
