This was our first time at the rally, and we had a blast! The picture map was a
great idea IMO, though it got interesting when one of the roads was blocked off
for sewer work. :)
We were one of two participants who didn't drive an LBC (mines being painted),
but we had a great time. Besides, our old BMW wants to be British with all the
fluids it leaks! ;)
Thanks again to the Valentines for all their hard work. It was worth it.
And Frank, I believe that corn stalk ended up getting points for "pot holder".
:)
