Say a small prayer for me folks. We leave tomorrow to head to Cleveland to pick up the new boat! I feel like a 5 year old on Christmas Eve. I am packing the digital camera to document the entire trip! If all goes well I will have lots of pics to post on Monday!

Myself and a friend left Chesterfield MO at 3pm Central time.....headed for Cleveland Ohio. After drving trough many of the 1 lane road construction areas, on Hwy 70, we finally made it to Ohio. We were on the west side of Dayton, Ohio Friday night and came to a complete stop for an accident of Hwy 70. We sat under the "Spangler" road over pass for about an hour or more before continuing on. We arrived to the out skirts of Cleveland (mile marker 231) around 1am Central time. We crashed in a Holiday Inn for a couple hours and met the trucking company on Pearl Rd. The truck driver was sitting in a mall parking lot, in front of a "Old Navy" store. We exchanged paper work, hooked up to my new boat and headed back to St. Louis. We got on Hwy 71 at 7:05am (central time) and arrive back to Chesterfield MO at 5pm (central time). All I can say is WOW. What a trip!

You know whats funny about the entire thing is: I drove 600 miles to pick up the boat, pulled it all the way home and I haven't got to see it yet. The boat is covered completely in blue shrink wrap. So I am taking your word that the interior is clean. We bought the boat sight unseen.
