    Gary and Carolyn made it home.

    What a wonderful bash even if it was in the traffic jam capital of the world. We miss everyone already.

    Some Stats:
    2233 Total miles driven.
    115.7 Gallons of gas sucked down by the little 289 that could.
    19.3MPG average.
    Only issues were vapor lock after sitting in Fort Worthless traffic for 45 minutes in 97F heat. Thought it happened again after dinner Thursday night. Twas wrong, it turned out to be an ignition problem where the points were open just a tad too far. Got it fixed and the trip home was painless.

    Good to hear that GZ. If the trip was problem free, you wouldn't remember it as well. 😁
