Atlanta to Mt Vernon OH & back to attend the Dixie Bus Gathering, my
first time camping with Central Ohio Valley folks in their neck of the
woods and a really good time, especially the eating part.  Thanks to Frank
Biffath for throwing this bash.

   I drove straight up to the campground, taking around 10 hours, then came
home via US23,`US52 and the Blue Ridge Parkway. (Fancy Gap VA, to the
intersection of BRP & US23, them home via US23/441, I985 & I-85.  Fuel
mileage on the parkway leg was 22.5mpg, the 100 mile leg home where I went
lickety-fast was 18.1.

   The stats according to Garmin:  seat time- 30 hours, moving average-
49mph, max speed- um >83, <84 on that last leg.  Told you I was in a hurry-
the usual when I'm doing a bachelor run, which is all too frequently this
year.  :-(

   The fridge performed admirably in the heat- wish I could say the same
about the cruise control, which continues to give me intermittent fits.
  _This time_ I'm be needing a new connecting rod, part number 025130365,
which keeps popping off the ball on the throttle end.
