Years ago I was talking with Jason Collingwood, a very good rug weaving teacher. I was giving him a ride after one of his workshops and I told him that I would be going to Pennsylvania in July for MAFA, which is a regional weaving conference & we were in Wisconsin at the time. He laughed and said Americans think 200 years is old and the English think 200 miles is far:-)

So my nephew and I took off from here in Central KY and drove to San Diego to pick up the machine. So my record for the farthest I've gone to pick up a vintage machine is a little over 2,100 miles, one way. We had a blast!
