Rob&Kim, I PM'd my cell # to you. Here's a map showing where we'll be staying. Don't know about Ronnie, but this shows where he stayed a few years back.

Looks like 4 or 5 Barths so far for Dega. Course it's a really big place and we'll be spread out but hopefully we can hook up with most of you at one time or other over the weekend

Just got home. Robert and Kimberly stopped by for a nice visit. Couldn't get them a cocktail or a beer though. Something about the night before. Totally uneventful trip as far as the traveling and the Barth. Just the way we like it! Checked milage on the first 200 mile leg and came out at 8 even. Not bad. Still have the vapor lock issue a little bit, but I've had that since day one. Got a chance to narrow it down today when we rode through some rain coming home. As long as it was raining or the roads were wet enough to put up a spray under the coach, no problems at all. Therefore, I'm sure it's not the Carb, but a problem with the fuel lines overheating. Also, no problems at under 70 degrees. I'll post some more later with some pics of us at the track and the other campgrounds we stayed at.

Here's some pix of our trip. The first nite out we stayed at O'Leno State Park up in Rusty's neck of the Florida woods. Thursday night we were at Wind Creek State Park in Alexander City Alabama, about 60 miles south of Dega. We were the only ones in section D, which has over 60 sites in it. As you can see, it's absolutely beautiful. Here's Suzie with Robert and Kimberly at our trackside site. And finally, we spent Monday night on the way home at Reed Bingham State Park just north of Valdosta Georgia. Very quiet, and very pretty.
It was a nice trip, glad we got to meet another Barth couple, and hope you enjoy the pix.
