My wife and I were touring in Colorado after staying with Bob and Jean Johns=
.

We were passing thru a town of about 356 people and one cafe.

I saw two three TR3s parked and told Jan, "I know who that is".

Of course....it was Chuck and Charlotte and their tribe.

Way to go Shawn....welcome aboard Chuck!
