Like I say on the Invasion website......getting there (or back) is half 
the fun.  <G>  That was quite a run in front of the storm.

I think I averaged around 28 mpg (with a high tank full at 32 or so) on 
the whole 6000 mile round trip to Parma and back.  Much of that was 
cruising at 80+ mph.  Of course, I am sure Keith will suggested that I 
got considerable drafting help from his Square. <G>

Aaahhh...the memories.
