I understand. I was just wondering so I might had been able to buy you a Coffee but I'm out of here in a couple days myself.

Maybe I'll see you on the return somewhere.
 
Day 8- headed to meet friend The Gregger in Pawsatan, Va for breakfast, cold start at 5am ; 7deg with wind chill, Gregger rode up on our six fm Greensborro had breakfast and headed out for the rally an hour away, wouldn’t you know a rain cell with heavy drops deluged us for about 15min on an excellent narrow black top the PR 4 GTs handled excellently! Running about 2400mi at this point, time to relax…

Day 12- left the rally heading east to the outer banks little did we know the summer hoard had the same idea, all day carloads of families and beach goers passed us bye, finally half way down at Nags Head we gave up the idea of finding a campground, we hooked it eastward and landed at a Marriott to wind down 4 nites of camping from the rally.
