If you're going that route, you might want to plan a short detour to see the "replica" of Stonehenge at Maryhill. It was put up as a memorial to the local boys who died in World War One. According to the plaques there, some of them were just kids. Very thought-provoking, and a good photo op.

+1, I've seen it and especially on a good day there is a bit of a view of the surrounding area.

Believe it or not, the gears are turning. :)

Well that's good I guess, at least it isn't seized up. First thing is get all that radiator stuff out of there. What's a radiator doing in an engine anyhow?

Hi, Mark!

Well, I think George is up for the big trip,but there's a question I have:

I know that the area is very fire-sensitive, and that campfires are not allowed. But does this ban extend to things like table-top Weber grills and like that? I couldn't find any references to the fire regs in previous posts, so I think that the word should go out, particularly for the first-timers.

Yup. Propane appliances only. No open fires, no charcoal use. See you next week!

This is all because of the great Spiffy debacle of '08.

Who knew that "man these brussel sprouts are soooo good..." would be so prophetic.

Less than a week to go for the 7th Annual RendezVW! We're busy pulling everything together and are excited as can be for another fun weekend! Musicians practice up and bring your voices and instruments as there will be a LOT of open-mic this year!

If you're planning on attending and haven't communicated with me...please do so!

See you all next weekend! Later, Mark

Looks like I'm going to make it after all!!! Rolling in on Friday night with a friend and his 4-year-old daughter.
I'm bringing lots o' hoops!

Gearing up. Bertha gets a tune up and oil change today. I think we'll be getting there Friday.

Thursday for sure, although at this point of time I do not know what wheels I'll be going with.

Will be working around the clock for the next few days to get everything together. :)

Anyone know if Mike (spiffy) and Elaine are going?

Not for sure, but Mike posted a "see you this weekend" to Gypsie over on Facebook within the last 24 hours .. and I *know* Gypsie's coming.

So .. probably.

I think Spiff & Co. will be there.

Speaking of facebook, I had to share something there so I am going to share here too cause I am just too damn swollen with pride to not share.

This is a little vid I made of LilGypsie and friend singing in a talent show. Excuse the out of focus auto focus...

I am trying to talk her into singing a few at the RendesVW if Mark has room on the stage schedule.
