We are back! Just like last year, the drive home took about an hour less than the drive up. I think it's because on the way up, we're driving into Louisville during rush hour.
Many thanks to Karen and Scott for putting together such a fantastic event. Everything went off without a hitch. There was so much going on, but it didn't feel overwhelming (as it kind of did last year). I guess that's because of taking more time away from the event to chill by myself. I felt a little guilty about not being out there the whole time, but I think that being well rested let me enjoy things better.
The best part for me was the time I spent talking with people. People I knew from other events, like Tim McNally (Plaidmobile) , Carl Knickerbocker (Suburban Primitive) Chris Hubbard (Heaven and Hell Car) Robert Seven (Emerge-N-See) , and Dean Pauley (Miss Vicky) , and people I hadn't had the chance to get to know before, like Paul McRae (whose art car I don't know the name of!), Gary Coover (Yellow Submarine) , Lewis Meyer (the pirate truck), and Nod (does his car have a name?). I was really impressed with Nod's positive energy. Happiness shines out in every word he says. It's a great feeling to be around.
Well I could write all night, but I was driving all day and I think a good night's sleep is in order. I didn't get a lot of photos on this trip due to camera problems (first, my best lens won't auto-focus, and second, I forgot to recharge the spare battery). But I did get a few decent shots, which I'll try to post tomorrow.
