You are not a party pooper. It is so hot this year and has been for so long. I would not last for very long myself. But would love to go. Drink lots of water everyone!!!!!!

Heard that people travel in RVs and do the whole thing...what a vacation!!

I live near the route. I always plan my trips to town to avoid the traffic jam, Stay out of town from the Tuesday before the sale until the Wednesday after. Yesterday I had to take my grandson to register for school. It took almost an hour to go 1 mile thru town.
