Nick, there are those who understand "northeast" and those who live "down east". The former never get the latter.

Captain - while I may now reside in the south, those who know me know I'm a Dam Yankee. Fellow Northerners are always welcome at the farm. I think of it as a little bit of Southern hospitality mixed with a strong dose of Yankee ingenuity.

Vlad, this just proves once again you're a transplant. "Down East" is a very specific place and it is no where near the Eastern Shore

Even CJ does not qualify as Downeast - sorry but geography doesn't lie.

Looks like the Northern boys were kind to you. I'm glad they got you motivated.

ps. What did Captain John mean by "Thanks for paying for lunch too!"?
You must be slipping a little

I love it, the RV "Flash Mob Squadron". Where will it strike next?

Can't believe you captured that sweeet patch of rubber I left on departure in the last photo of Post #3 - Good Job!

Fun times, thanks for hosting us Vlad!

Glen, nope! I am not a downeaster. Boston to Cape Cod is where I call home! Maine is just my playground!

GLP, you mean he doesn't spring for your food too? He has never let me even open my wallet!

Noah, love the flash mob squadron name!!!

Lets make up some hats! Hahahaha

Yesterday at breakfast some guy asked if we flew RVs. When I said yes he told me that he flew real airplanes. I asked what kind? He said a 182. I said oh! You mean real SLOW airplanes!

He thought that was a suitable reply!

While you boys were busy gossiping and rubbing elbows with the common RV folk, I was enroute to the RV Mecca! I was visiting the top brass at 52F like Walt of expaircraft.com, Doug Reeves of the VanCave, and Jay Pratt of RVCENTRAL. There was even a Danny King sighting. I do regret not being around if Vlad was paying though!
