Hey, listers, ...... our Hershey experience was fun,
and disappointing at the same time. With all the rain,
we were with a lot of other owners who did not take
their cars out of the trailer. Our car is a 64 BJ7, so
we were in class 25B. Anyway, after all the years of
work and detailing, etc... even though I really wanted
to show it there, it would have caused too much
cleaning up afterwards. The rain gets everywhere, in
threads, concealed places and all that, so there it is.
Anyway, after looking at the cars, talking with Jim and
Linda Cox - hi! - we also wandered over to Chocolate
World, did the tour, walked around some more, got
wetter, and left about 3.
The nicest cars were not on the show field.
But, so be it, maybe next year.
