Man, i don't know where to start. It was a nice 12 hour drive haha! Got there with my Great Uncle about 7:30 am , just in time for the end of the flashlight sale. When the show got going, it was INSANE!
I met many people i already knew "online" , saw many familiar faces again and just plain had a BLAST!

Who did i meet and re-meet? I will attempt this.....

Bob Dudek, nice to hug my bro-inlaw again.....i missed you

OMG.....there are many more and im sorry i can't think right now after another 12 hours drive home haha!
I really had a great time and so did my Great Uncle whom was responsible for funding the trip. I want to especially thank Roger Lemay , which is his real name!
Roger is getting back into building models, was a trucker for over 40 years and is really getting into this and wants to build some big rigs like he drove. He knew where all the stops were along the way and we stopped into the WORLD'S LARGEST TRUCK STOP in Iowa and i took a bunch of photos for him and my own sickness.....i love taking photos!

Below is a group photo i organized, but i KNOW at least 5-10 guys didn't make it in time or didn't hear about it until it was too late.....sorry guys, next year ok!
