The Dodge did well, we were able to run at 70 MPH with the RPMs between 2000 and 2500. On the grades it would usually kick up to about 3000 to hold at 70. MPG still sucked (around 9.0), but that's a gasser for you. Cost about $200 in fuel for the 750 mile round trip. Gas averaged about $2.65. Filled up near Shipshe on Saturday for $2.59. Station near IN pike was $2.69 and on the IN pike it was $2.99. Glad I didn't need it there! It may be a Dodge, but it works for me and I think I'll keep it.

We had a great time too. The diet has restarted. We can hardly wait for next year and to see new friends during our travels. Thanks again to Denny and Susan for putting it together and to Crossroads for all they did.
Pam took a bunch of pictures.

Had a great time at the 09 Rally. Denny, I have the sewer hose that you put out. All you have to do is remind me to bring it. Next year we need to keep the Corn Hole Trophy from being taken across the boarder to Canada.
Tom, Gloria and Dot

Hey Chris and Ruth, Wish we would have known that about the Gateway toll. We hit that on Wed on our way home and were shocked. Lori |

Thanks, Denny and Crossroads for a great time. This was our first rally and we really enjoyed it. The power jack, door prize, was an added bonus. I hope we are able to make it next year. It was great meeting everyone.
I have news for Larry Weaver. Our BTU's did not keep our BUTT cool on Monday. We were at a Marina campground in OH on Lake Erie with no shade. 100 outside 85 inside with AC running non-stop. Next time I will upgrade the AC unit. I was just glad we weren't in AZ.

I can't really take any of the credit for photobucket as Dennis did it but I'm glad you liked the pics! We definitely plan to be there next year. FYI, I think I found the outside mount towel bar on Amazon - look at this and let me know if it looks the same: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000CNQX2/ref=ord_cart_shr?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance
The Rally was great and I can't wait to see all our new friends again soon.
Pam

I can guess the look on your face was probably the same as mine was a couple of years ago  . We stayed on I-80 and came home a different route. It probably added about 15 minutes to the trip, but only added about 10 miles. One gallon of gas vs. the Gateway toll - I figure I came out ahead on that deal! |
