Rainy, muddy, expensive, and disappointing! Ten dollars to park truck and trailer; few vendors; even the stalwart commercial vendors didn't bother to open in the rain. I didn't expect much out of the fall meet, but it didn't even meet the low expections :evil:
We drove directly to Kansas, and upon entering the park at Ottawa, noted one vendor with a Texas tagged truck and trailer loaded with sheetmetalhad beaten us there from Decatur and had set up along the roadway!
Sweetie Pies was the highlight of the Decatur overnight stop!

Yep, in the same manner that the GT40 is a "car" :D
