We did a 3,000 mile round tripper this year and you are right about taking a while to recover. We traveled south and downhill from our home in Wyoming and found the heat every one was talking about. We were glad to get back home.Neil A.

The participants change, but the count has remained about the same. Large families help, and ours is mostly Mormon, known for their large amount of off-spring. No one brought the ice cream this year, but there were plenty of soft drinks and water.Oscar Casehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328166606910469945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315913011898679263.post-40444260989015275742010-08-26T06:53:10.256-07:002010-08-26T06:53:10.256-07:00Thanks for the great blog.

The auction is a great idea, and so is having it during the Fair, even if it wasn't planned that way. Good also to hear that there were so many kids in attendance. That means it's thriving.<br /><br />One of my grandmothers came from a family of 12 or 13 kids, and they had reunions every year in a state park that was big enough to hold them all. That was back in Nebraska in the 40s and 50s. There got to be so many as the generations multiplied and moved farther away that it eventually evolved out of existence. But I still have memories - like the cases of pop and big 5 or 10 gallon buckets of ice cream.<br /><br />I cannot travel distances either anymore. Just knocks me out for a day or two afterwards.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315913011898679263.post-37668608300141074982010-08-26T06:43:12.440-07:002010-08-26T06:43:12.440-07:00I'm not a big fan of long car trips anymore.
