Nice!

I bet it was nice to finally reach Climax after all that driving.

All of those places were closed and there were a grand total of 2 cars in our way. 35-75 all the entire 11 miles.

Best day off ever.

That was just the Dragon.

The test drive was from Atlanta Hartsfield airport to Detroit Metro to Climax, Mi. via the Tail of the Dragon, about 1100 miles in all.

I think your trip is thoroughly incomplete without the airport introduction.

My son-in-law Micheal and I met JB in 2 separate cars at 11 PM ar the baggage claim. He was sitting in the front car, I was behind him in the 8. John found me, and I got out to say hello.

As I stepped out of the car, I looked over the roof and said, "Hi, you must be Kelly". Then I walked over to the other car, opened the door for her, and said, "Micheal, this is Kelly. You know her as well as I do". Then John and I jumped in the other car and took off.

We met up at a really sketchy gas station in a seedy part of town to complete the deal.

Kelly, you need to be careful around John. His friends are a little questionable!

Glad it was a great trip- I'm looking forward to what you do with the 8!

Yes, here's to Kelly.
I figured this trip could be a real relationship litmus test.

I consider my wife to be mildly adventurous and this trip is something I would do and have done but this trip is not really something my wife would enjoy if things went sideways.

All cities in Michigan; Climax, Paradise, Podunk, Hell, Christmas and once confused me with planning a visit to a customer; St. Louis, Michigan.
