Julie and I had a great time at the Bus Boo.� The return trip from Grand Rapids, MI�to Cincinnati, OH was eventful.� We had steady rain until about�central Indiana where we swapped the downpour for�40 mph winds with gusts up to 75!� The Syncro drive train, 15in Mercedes rims, and new Old Man EMU shocks did an admirable�job of keeping me on the hwy, but I sure did get tossed about.� Glad I wasn't driving my air cooled Westy.� Even with new Billsteins and Hancook tires it would have been a pretty sketchy drive.
Unfortunately, the city of Cincinnati didn't fair as well as my van.� I am one of 250,000 people in the city waiting for the power to come back on line.� I can't imagine what it must be like for the folks on the Texas coastline.

Looking forward to Bus Brrr.� Still a pretty hardcore campout even if it is delayed until March!
