Well, we were there, along with the rain, but it barely seemed to dampen some 
spirits! There was a bunch of neat things to see. We saw what had to be two of 
the VW extremes -� a Kubelwagen in full cammo, and a Thing in Bright Pink! The 
turn-over was pretty good at the Koney lot, with some volks leaving, and then 
returning to a new parking spot. There were three Vanagons there, including mine 
(required V-gon content), and mine was probably the least attractive. I gotta 
get some restorative body work done, soon. Also, we�did the mandatory good deed, 
- pulled out my battery, to take over and jump-start an unrestored, 
all-original, '58 Beetle. Yeah, we knew about the 6 & 12 volt issue. We dealt. 
It's all good...�
My son and I pulled out about 3:00 P.M. for our part of the cruise. We putted 
along from Square Lake, all the way to I-696. About 8 miles total, and I gave my 
older son the wheel of Butternut�for most of it. His first Cruise! It's enought 
o bring a tear to a proud�dad's eye. 

All-in-all, a fun day despite the weather. I will leave the pictures to someone 
who can...
