Usual suspects attended.

Tony, generally, We try to arrive around 0800 when the restaurant opens. Most are already done eating and are leaving by 9. If you need to arrive later, just call, email or pm me and if I am going that day I'll get some of the group to hang around. I'm in the VAF white pages.,

Our Venice RV group has a 30 minute flight and it looks like your route may take 40 minutes or so.

Hope to meet you there in the near future.

That second RV in the lineup looks a lot like Fred Stucklen's!

Default Every Wednesday?

Gary,

Is this an "every" Wednesday event?

Maybe I will get up early and make a run before work some day soon.

Well, it should look like Fred's. That's him in the top photo with Turbo, Gman, Fred and -6a driver Ron.

SmilinJack, Yep that's every Weds morning around 0800'ish if you can make it.

Jesse, Come on down. You'll find lots of RV friends there. Don't believe I have met you yet anyway.

I'm going to try to make it next Weds morning (April 30) if my daughter in Ohio can hold that baby girl in her another week or so...


Disclaimer.... With summer approaching, my 20-30 RV estimates dwindle to a hearty 10-15 or so because a lot of guys go North.

The "red RV is mine, Don Stiver of KCOI, Merritt Island. I usually hit the second wave ~ 0900 or try to pick a destination that is at least an hour flight time. Only about 25 min from COI.
