Just back home from Convention in Portland OR (skipped the last night dinner due to other commitments).
Picked up a number of bits and bobs for the GP and caught up with several of the faithful. Also dropped by the Evergreen Museum at McMinnville (home of 'Spruce Goose) and the Tillamook Museum (housed in a HUGE blimp shed) .... A 1941 jerrycan and nicely 1941 dated US Army muessette (sp?) bag to put in the GP, too. Great trip, lots to see and do. Thanks to the Oregon Chapter for the organization. Well done! My visitor from Australia picked up the 'longest distance' award at the Camp White BBQ on Thursday evening, so a 'winning' visit! Mike C

Hey Mike, sorry I didn't run into you and your friend. Didn't get my tickets early enough for the BBQ.
I did meet up with Rob and Derk, Al Nicholson Dave Good and the Posse from Alberta, Brian Asbury. There were about 12 from Vancouver Island, Delisle, Ralph, Dave,Don And Katrinka roll off my poor memory for names. And About 18 of us from Western Command Mainlanders. Awards dinner was Saturday night so I think we will hear from a few more today.

Yes, Louisville: it's on the back of the 2013 show catalogue.

Derk and I just got in from our 2200km drive home. The mountains of BC were spectacular....the prairies of Saskatchewan and Manitoba as usual were pretty much like watching a commercial again and again and again......
We will likely miss the Kentucky show (other comitments and it's a very long drive for us) but I am hoping to bring a vehicle to the Topeka Kansas show in 2015. That is reasonable drive from here.
