Really. Great job, Dave! Thanks for all the effort that putting this
together took. Good to see (or meet) everyone.

I've run into lots of things on the bike trips I've taken over the
years, but this is the first time I've ever seen such flooding. W Va is
a poor state to begin with, and it was sad to see people lose what
little they had. Inevitably, I hear jokes about trailers and whatnot
delivered in bad southern accents, but the reality is that those folks
do the best they can with very little and I, for one, won't put them
down.

Time pressures put me on the slab all the way back to beantown, where I
arrived safe and sound just about dinnertime last night.

Bob
