North Texas DTR #8 April Thread

Figured I'd go ahead and start a new thread for April, since March meet is over.

I just got back from NYC last night after a week (my son was on spring break). Wow, what a trip! Now understand that this is not my typical vacation which usually involves an RV and an ATV. But it was very interesting seeing New York in action. I found most people there to actually be friendly........but just don't get in their way and slow them down.....

We went to,,,,,,in no particular order........Museum of Natural History, Statue of Liberty, NYSE, Ellis Island, Times Square (3+ times), Saw the St. Patrick's day parade, ice skated at Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Saks 5th avenue, Walked the Brooklyn Bridge, watched "Phantom of the Opera" at the Majestic, Ground Zero, The M @ M store, Empire State Building Observation Deck, Radio City Music Hall, Grand Central Station, Shopped at Macy's, the Restaurant on Seinfeld, Rode the Subway many times, Ate at numerous pizza places and restaurants, walked many miles just observing the architecture and history.

This is one of those trips everyone needs to make at least once. IM not sure when I will be going back again.......but I must say I was impressed and had a blast. This was definately something different, for me.

I too have been to NYC...Once!!! Very interesting place! I went in November 2001 and visited Ground Zero among the other standard tourist sites. It moved me deeply to see the destruction. People openly wept and prayed. My most vivid memory was the smell of Ground Zero. I have never experienced anything like that before, or since. Definitely one of those places you need to visit once in your life. When and where is the next meet? I may actually try and show up.

its out there by redline raceway east of dallas, i think its even the same exit number, we had a blast. then it rained. then we had a muddy blast. my cummins will never be clean again. did a lil 2wd drive action in the gumbo mud out there, quite possibly due to a little to much but o well it was fun, no one got hurt and the carnage was not to severe.

now low on $$ so prob won't make ennis.

ps. got the smarty loaded up kasst night, i guess i need to read about it or something cuz i am not making near the power of the edge.
