MB Shop/Mt. Vernon, TX. GTG pics

Subtitle: How China got Chickenpox......

What a great weekend!! I can't tell you how enjoyable Saturday and Sunday were. An MB Dork's Heaven on Earth......

So, I'll do this part from my perspective, and let the others add on.
Started out with Little China girl all packed and ready to head out on this crisp morning.



Went to Bass Pro to meet up with whoever else was coming. Uhm, China and I would be flying solo.....



I was just fixing to drive through Sulfur Springs, when I saw a backdrop that I literally backed up a 1/4 mile down the one-way service road to take advantage of. No explanation necessary.....



Enough self promotion, let's get to the GTG already!
Our Super hosts for this event were Sunny and her husband John. For some reason I didn't get a picture of them together. Doh!
Sunny:

John:


John is in the light blue shirt, also being assisted by Roy.

The finest hosts we could possibly have hoped for. They picked a great spot to get all this stuff done, they bought us a barbecue dinner Saturday night (a lot of us!), they kept us in Cinnamon rolls this morning and provided about 6 cars of their own for us to learn from. They even helped one forum member not have to sleep in their Orient-titled auto....
So, the next big Thank You's go to Roy, our own little Whunter. Little? Well, maybe not so much....





Not only was it great to get to meet one of our very helpful forum members (and staff), but he and Larry showed us things all weekend. {We'll get to Larry in a minute}
