There actually was more than one discussion about the rocket.........especially after being told by one of the motel staff that it wasn't even attached anymore. ( maybe that's why it's so shake when you get to the top of it)

General concensus was that it would be about as easy to build one as to move that one.[EMAIL= ][/EMAIL]

We have finally arrived back in Arlington after multiple visits to friends and relatives going home.  Thanks to Jeff and all those who helped make the first Summer Reunion a success! Clap

It was great to see and visit with everyone.  The Jeeps are fine, but the people are what make the reunions special to me.

I'd like to thank jpet and the whole crew that put on this show.  I really enjoyed myself, despite needing a snorkle to breath in all that humidity.  I enjoyed sharing stories and rides in Electro-Willys with the folks, and despite the rumors the state troopers were really great guys with some very good questions.  (like "Will this really do 70?  Don't leave town, we have some investigating to do.") Ermm

I really enjoyed the chance to meet so many familiar names from the 2Apage.  That was a real treat for me since most of my life is spent being a hermit up here in the mountains where no one ever comes to visit. Cry LOL
