   What a trip !!!  John will have our numbers in a couple days. My guess right now is 
   maybe somewhere around 2000 QSO's.  We did 17 counties on Saturday and 
   18 counties on Sunday. 

      The pileups were unbelievable and the WX very challenging. We fell behind because we 
    stayed in a few counties longer than planned to be able to work everyone calling. We ended up
    not going to Seminole county.

     We were rain free until we hit Mitchell county on Saturday night. It then started raining big time 
    with some thunder  when we in the middle of no where. It rained off and on pretty much from that 
    point on  the trip home on Saturday night. We ended up in Webster county the first night.

    My babysitter couldn't be at the house until 1 pm on Sunday , so John took my car and did a few of 
  the counties around my area - MERI,TROU,COWE and HEAR for the first few hours on Sunday. I 
  operated from home for an hour or so using KU8E until the babysitter and John showed up. We 
  were back on the road around 1:30 PM. We ended up hitting all of our planned counties for that 
  day and were back in my driveway in Hamilton at 9:00 PM.

  John will probably have a more detailed story with his posting. Nice job by the SECC. I think this 
 year was a big success.
