HI Guys,
Sure was glad I had some hind sight to load most of my stuff on friday night 
especially after I saw the big oak limb that smashed the poor fellows mini 
van, broke out his windshield and left hand windows.....along with some of his 
lawntractors damaged badly.  Talked with the fellow and he told me he had just 
lost his home by "charley" in Florida to boot!  I packed up my tent and chairs 
and we were off for home.  All was clear until we hit the Ill. line and then 
we road rest of way in pounding rains.....All and all great show.
Will try to post some pics later.
