The last car tradeshow of the season# 2

Hi folks!
Well I loaded the Austin, TX. car show on Monday, all went welluntil I was just south of Waco, TX. It started raining so hard I couldnt see. So as soon as I found an exit I could get off safely I got off until the rain slowed up a little. I looked back and I had a convoy of cars behind me so they all stayed behind me until we reached I35 again. By the time I reached Dallas, TX. I called it a day. So I left Dallas early Tuesday morning. Drove to exit 19 in Missouri. And I am here in Dearborn, MI. unloading in the morning. And as always the CASCADIA did a great job.
until next time be safe.
Dick
