We made 1834 miles go under the SSR in 2 days.
300 miles more tomorrow and we will be home in Saskatoon, Sk.
Many thanks to Gina and Danny, and to all of you who made another Maggie Valley event fun for everyone who attended this year.
We had some hail hit the SSR from the Tornado yesterday across Missouri, however we were far enough west to miss the main part of the storm and any damage to the truck.

Drive safe and let us know when you get there. Good news you missed the heart of the storm, bad news for the people who had there lives turned around. I saw pictures on tv it was a terrible site to see.

Same from me let us know you arrived safely and glad you missed the damage from the storm. Thanks for the hood supports and instructions on replacing the new deck struts I have at home. Yep, I will definitely be careful not to loose a hand/arm in the hinges. I appreciate the how-to demo on that from you. Hope to cross paths again with you and your bride it was great meeting you both in MV.

Thanks for installing the hood struts which I have had for three years and was too chicken to drill the holes. Also thanks for the trunk struts as well. Glad you had no damage from the storm.

Thanks for installing the front and rear struts, really impressed the guys at the shop when I opened the lid and the hood up. Glad to meet you and hope we will see you again.
