      David, there are plenty of great Antique Malls in this part of the country. I can definitely help you there.

      I am very protective of my stomping grounds, but I can't buy everything!

        I put down how long my drive SHOULD be for accuracy. It's a 4.5 hour drive if I take the recommended way via the turnpike. The route I take ended up being over 7 hours, but that's because I was on the cycle. Next year I will be driving.

          It'd be great to do more than just shake your hand Scott.

            Yeah, I am there for the whole shabang next year and looking forward to it. I am going to make the Wheeling motorcycle ride a fall thing. Wish I would have thought of doing that this year. It isn't fair to keep saddling Steve with my boxes of cards, either.

              This is really eye opening.

                I always forget to ask you Brian, how long of a drive is it for folks in our neck of the woods? (although I guess it would be a couple hours less for me compared to you)

                  This year we started at Tom's house in Jersey instead of my house on Long Island....man what a difference. It usually take about 2 - 3 hours to get out of New York and into Jersey. So this year instead of close to 8 1/2 hours it was exactly 6 hours.

                    Depending on traffic, 7 hours door to door. Just about five from your pad but you've missed the poutine stop.

                      It's more then 8 1/2 hrs if you add the 2 trips together from Berto's house, to mine, to the Meet or from Berto's house directly to the Meet...so I selected 8+ hrs...and this is only to stop for gas, we ate on the run.

                        16 hours if I go through Tennessee; 15 if I go through Missouri. I've got a friend I generally stop by and see in Nashville, so 16.

                          Five hours for me, wow that's less than I expected. You could always get an extra poutine to go for me.

                            Mine is 14-15 hours one way depending on stops and such. It's not bad when the boys can come but it's brutal by myself.

                                Brian, you live near Niagara, right? Just on the other side of the border as I recall?
