This Sprint did prove successful, with no openings and rainy skies to attenuate the signals.  As VA3XRR did not arrive, I ran the Rovermobile from 2 grids within 15 miles of home.  It takes less than 5 minutes to qrt, pack move and be back on the air between these sites as a few discovered to their advantage  (and to mine).
Grids were FN04ma and FN03mx.

Got a total of 31 qso's and 12 multi's for a score of 372.  Best dx south was W3SO and K3TUF.  Heard W8MD cw but he qsy'd before I could get his attention.  N2PA and the Rochester group were out too.  Others heard were too weak to get a qso.  Captured some local newbies to 6 meters too, which was a surprise to all as I have never heard them on 6 before.

Thanks to all participants, including those not worked.  Next time!!!

73,
