I definately gotta get some more seat time before the year is officially over.

Yes, thank you Skeeter for leading that drive. That was certainly a couple of hours of extremely fun, white-knuckle driving. :smileys-car-driving

It was great to get to meet a bunch of new people and share some stories over lunch.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Sorry to have missed this one! But I did get to see Ed fly by me on 287 in the morning!

Did I notice headphones in your ears???

Haha yes indeed - good eye Steve!
I was coming down in the direction of exit/entrance 6 when I saw you guys and figured.... John's leading in that Lambo - how hard could it be to catch up? :D
