I did. 
I sent Dave on his merry way around 9:00 this morning (after he bought me breakfast, of course!) Thanks again for everything, Dave!
Did everyone else make it home ok? Any problems?

Unfortunately I didn't even make it to Carlisle. I usually go on Friday but due to the dire predictions for the weather I decided to stay home and make preparations for the house. As it turned out all we got here was some wind and rain...have had thunderstorms far worse. Still...it's better to move some lawn furniture back out and put flashlights and other items away than be mopping up water and chasing chairs and debris from the around the yard.
There was nothing I was looking for at Carlisle beyond seeing friends and sore ankles from the walking. It's always fun to go but it will be there next year.
Left about 6:20 on Saturday morning from my hotel and was home by 9am. Kathy
Other than a few leaks in the front t-tops (fiber towel handy), no issues, Even checked for any screws in my tire.

I headed for home around 7PM Saturday. Drove through some hard rain a couple o' times but other than that, everything was good. I'd say better than half of the vendors had packed up and vacated by 4. ALL of Saturday looked more like Sunday afternoon!!
Lifetime MemberWe made it home about 1 PM today. Dan (danascar) and I, along with our lucky wives, got up this morning and had a nice breakfast. We then proceeded to the fairgrounds where we were told the site was closed except for cleanup. Bummer. All in all, I thought it was a great time and I really enjoyed spending time with all My C3VR buds. I just wish the weather would have held out a little longer. Can't wait for the next one!

I had light rain all the way to Corning, NY. Then it got dry as I headed west. No rain at home today.
Saw a lot of broken tree branches. Got home at 2:20 p.m. Here is a little video slide show from Picasa/Google.

Frank & I left the campground around 3:00 pm this afternoon. Was home in about 2 hours & had sun & some windy spots, but other wise an uneventful trip home.
Only had about an inch of rain last night - worst was the wind gusts around 5 AM. We woke up to the sound of the awning crashing against the RV. Good thing no one else was up to catch us in our BVD's outside putting it back together & lashing it down.
Fortunately - no damage done.
Fortunately - no damage done. Had a blast this weekend - it's a shame the weather prevent some members from attending - hope everything is ok at your homesteads!
