My last time was up and rearward over the engine.

I removed the fan and clutch, AC compressor, alternator, thermostat housing, and air cleaner and stud.. Not sure what else, if anything. I taped a sheet of tin over the radiator fins for protection and it went pretty well, as I remember.

We were already to go waiting on some results from tests that have been somehow delayed. Yesterday was the end of the window that would allow us to get there from Home. Tug 1 is sitting in a park 8 hrs. north of here where I work out of and over a thousand south of you guys.

Have a great time and hopefully see you and others at another GTG.

I totally understand. The best laid plans of mice and men...
You are a long way off, no point in doing a mad dash. We will miss you both here. Liz and I were looking forward to seeing you again. Never know, when I get my hot rod motor (and radiator) done I may try Hillsborough again. Had a great time there.

Take care, be well.

These are not written in stone, if you want to move to another site, go for it. See you tomorrow.

Steve We slid into 408 because we can't count. Folks have been coming in at a steady stream today and its lookin like a party!

Park anywhere, really. I will be there tomorrow mid day, see you then!

I am anxiously awaiting photos.
Wish I was there but the Virgin Islands called me away. Haven't spotted a single Barth here

Nice to read all about the GTG here on the site. Wish we could be there, but with our work schedules, no time to spare at this time of the year. Elise and I will be with you in spirit and hopefully for a future rally. I hope Rusty gets his belt problem figured out and Steve gets his new radiator. Also, if someone could say 'Hello' for me to BillNY when he gets there, I'm indebted. Keep on and have WAY too much fun!

I got here today at 7:30 PM after an uneventful trip from KY (except for about 7 miles behind a Brakeaholic). The root problem was the tensioner - the old one had been overly worn, probably due to the defective crankshaft pulley. New tensioner installed, and no issues!

The house is jacked up, wheels are installed, Barth logo is on the front porch and we are headed for the Land of Goshen.

Lou & Barb

I hope everyone made it safely, And I am sure a good time will be had by all, I sure wish we could have gone, hope to go to another one some day, would like to do something besides work on the Barth although i do like to cut chop and rebuild. everyone enjoy and be safe!!!!! From Richard and Robin!!!!!

My, I have sympathy for all the people that are missing this piece of Barth History.

We had a wonderful "wine and cheese" meet and greet last night with "after dinner" serenading by Kenny, Homer and Darryl. Lots of "stories" and lots of checking out each coach and comparing how each one is individual.

Looking forward to the "Roasting Of The Pig" this afternoon!

I am so sorry I am not there. I've been looking forward to this for a year.

Thanks to all of you there for carrying the ball for me. I guess the stars were not aligned for me this time.

I pulled the coach out to pack on Wed, radiator leaking. I hoped to find a new rad, get it shipped overnight and install. I was not able to find an identical radiator on the shelf anywhere. No time to get the old one fixed, so no Barth.

We had the car packed and ready to leave Fri AM. Thurs night was rough, have stomach flu. Fever, hot and cold, can't eat. I slept on the couch all day Friday. I haven't had the flu since I quit teaching four years ago, fine time for it now.

Hoped to get out this morning but I'm still running a fever, haven't eaten since Thursday evening. Still tied to couch and bathroom.

It sounds like things are going well in Milford, I spoke to several people there.

For all of my old Barth friends, I will see you again soon. For those I missed, I look forward to meeting you next time. Meantime, enjoy the nice weekend weather and each others' company.

The Cagles, Johns, and I plan on arriving at the Holiday Park Campground, 4860 US 31S, Traverse City, Monday afternoon. Hope you're recovered by then...

We missed the folks who couldn't make it but understand that life happens. We've had a fantastic time here. It's great to see the folks we know and meet new faces too. It's been a super GTG, looking forward to the next one.

Indeed it has! The weather has been absolutely great. Today's picnic left no one hungry! The consistent downside of these GTGs is when it ends and everyone eases on down the road...
