Sweet Map. Kinda nice to see where people will be coming from and who is gonna represent what state.... Though I see we have 4 southern states with no one. Alabama, Louisiana, Iowa, and Mississippi. What's up with that?!

Yeah I was kinda wondering that myself especially since most of my relatives are Alabamians. But....ummm... you meant to say Arkansas not Iowa right?

Al, I borrowed one of your event announcement graphics. Hope you don't mind.

Nice job Mark!
You must be sort of glad I'm not attending anymore
It would look silly to just ad the shape of my country to this map

ummmmm....again....NO! The most egregious thing about this map is that it's missing The Netherlands (!!). You know I can add your country real easy! Its not too late. I can even put a dotted line from Zwanenburg to Bryson City with a KLM tail fin icon thingy. It would look really cool!

Go to the parts store and get a black wheel chock. That way it won't show up when you take some pics.

So many NO's
And yes, it would look really cool, although now it won't be appropriate

I think Wilky is in a hurry to get to the ToD. He keeps thinking we're gonna be there on April 1st.

You are correct sir and we're staying at the Sleep Inn. It has been so stressful lately and I can't wait to get away for a while, it's going to be so nice.

Oh man I'm with you. I can't wait to get on the road and head east to the TOD and a week with my sister in Spartanburg. I am soooo looking forward to driving in the carabug all the way from Texas. Driving on the Interstate with a bunch of other NBs has got to be a blast!

So NEXT Tuesday marks 45 days to TOD! It is going to be here before you know it.

So Al, where's the countdown?

Glad to oblige my brother

It's amazing. It seems just like last month I started posting these. The first countdown banner was t-minus 284 days out. Now we're knocking on the door of the Dragon. Time sure flies my friend. It will be great seeing you and Llona again
