Marv,

I totally agree!  Coming from ND, MN, and SD - our caravan from the upper 
midwest (which joined Dave Swingle and the chicago caravan the next day) had 
nearly zero problems coming down to TN (1200 mile trip each way!!!).  the only 
things to speak of was a blower motor cutting out for 10 seconds when a breaker 
flipped due to a loose wire and a small fuel leak at the pump which was caused 
by a poorly fitting new fuel line (repaired in five minutes).  Jim Reeve and I 
had a little comparo on fuel economy between us over the entire trip and we 
were averaging between 24 and nearly 29 MPG at an average speed of 75 mph.  30+ 
MPG is definitely attainable on a fully sorted motor at 65 mph.  both of us 
could have done it if we were in the right lane instead of the left the whole 
time!

Thanks for a great experience everyone - it was my first DCS and i will never 
miss another one!  I am very happy to have met some of the most friendly 
people ever and I had a great time, especially at the parties in the Swingle's 
room!

See you all in Pheasant Run '06!
Andy
