I want to thank all the crawlers and shop hosts for such a wonderful day. We saw 8 wonderful shops (well 7 plus mine). We had a wonderful lunch, great conversations, and made many new friends. I not sure the final count but we were near 30. We had members from VA, Charolette, and Down East and everywhere in between. Will has many pictures he will soon be posting.
I want to extand a personal thanks to Doug Robinson. The crawl was his baby from start to finish. Everything was perfect. Even the weather held off. Doug:
THANK YOU!!!
PS Doug even rec'd an award for his efforts.

Scott,
I'll sure second that. The gang arrived at my place around 2:30 and stayed for over an hour...a bunch of really great guys and gals. Lots of good ideas and thoughts exchanged. Any of them are welcome back anytime.
Doug did a great job of orchestrating this whole adventure. I'm thinking this is the start of a tradition.

Everyones shop had some idea that I came away with. The day was fantastic, even if I did head toward Sanford  on my way toward Dick and Ritas shop. I hope I get to see y'all at the picnic in May, if not before.....I think I may be hearing the Flying saucer calling me again.

I totally agree with previous posters, it was an awesome day, great camradarie, great ideas there for the taking. Thanks to Doug for doing the logistics , the shop owners for hosting, and those who volunteered to drive car pools saving some mileage for those of us who had a travel a distance.

Jeremy, thank for the pics. I know more will be posting soon. I think something is wrong with your camera, every picture of the back of my head has a big spot where It removed my hair!
I really had a great time yesterday! | |
