For the first time in several
years we were not rained on the entire weekend.
That being said we did have to start a little
later in the morning and take the southern route
through Tulsa to miss the heavy thunderstorms in
southeastern Kansas on Thursday morning.
The southern route was nice for a change, and
Oklahoma has actually done a pretty good job of
getting the highways refinished. It wasn't
as bone jarring as the last time we went that
way...but it is a longer trip. All in all
the weather was fabulous for 2016!

Just a note on this web
site... This whole thing started out as a hobby
that grew through the course of 15 years.
This web site was literally running on a 20 year
old, dual Pentium 3 IBM server that was
purchased at an auction. It was running a
RAID 1 mirror for a hard drive set up, and I
have had to replace several hard drives
throughout the years. What I have never
had happen is to have both drives go out at the
same time. All of the content was backed
up, but setting it back up from scratch has
presented it's own set of challenges. I
will get it all back - it will just take some
time. Thanks for your patience, and I hope
to see you all next year!
