I've met MANY people in person that I met through the Internet and have never had a bad experience. I've met motorcycling people, dog people and NASCAR people -- always had a great time.

Oh wow.....I didn't guess you were that young. With all your wisdom I thought you were at least 47 years old

Good for you, I'm glad you are retired so young, how did you do it? That's great, some people get to their 60's and still working for Walmart or McDonalds.
I planned to retired this year 15 years ago, but wives and kids got in the middle, if you know what I mean.

If we had waited and worked longer it would have been a total waste of effort.

OK, back to topic.
So, who's up for Hallowen and Death Valley? I can guide you if you guys/gals are afraid of the unkown. Been there many times, even at night.

I would love to Death Valley sometime, BETO. Halloween is bad though since my 4 year old will not be "fun" if he doesn't trick or treat.

Death Valley does sound good to me as well, but I'm with oknish, my kids would kill me if they do not get their yearly sugar rush. Maybe we can schedule a different date for a Death Valley run.

OK, we can go on a different date, and I can plan a little bit more. There is a great steak house in the middle of Death Valley.
So, when is the meet again? I have to mark my calendar
