Hey!
Less than 20 miles to my house!
Are you in greenfield?
If you could get a cell #, you could post the progress here. Now that would be way cool.
Mountaineer, could you ping the Pittsburgh people. Maybe they want to join.
I was hoping that they would be able to mobile computing.
I will be..except it's hard to get reception in the valleys. I'll try! Plus I might be asleep during the day ...from getting up at 2AM in the morning! LOL.
BTTT! Good job! Pinging an Indy-based FReeper

bump for later
Because I'm familiar with the Buckeye Lake--Claysville drive, I'd say if you make it in that time, without getting a ticket, I'll be surprised. Smokies are strict here and very good at their job.
THOUSANDS are expected! This may be the Patriotic Woodstock of our generation! Don't miss it!

"Christopher, Lisette and Steve… We Vietnam Veterans know and remember the truth of the political war we fought. Those on the left were able to get their minority voice printed and broadcast in all news media. Our enemy declared that they could not defeat us on the ground but would defeat us in America because they too read and listened to the media. So, they continued their fight and killed more of our Men and the vocal voice got more print and air time…and on and on. This is not supporting the troops! Today we experience the same thing. The Islamic Terrorists have studied history and know that they too can defeat Democracy and Freedom for many of their Faith by extending their fight against our troops one IED after another. This is what your side of the political spectrum does not see. Your voice is heard around the word today as it was in Vietnam’s day and your voice inspires our enemies to continue to kill our Troops. You and your ilk believe in Isolationism. That the United States of America must stay out of the issues of the World. You are blind to history. Sadam Hussein’s rise was no different than Hitler’s and his actions would eventually have fomented more terroristic attacks against America on our soil. That is reality. Your blindness to this reality is shocking. Remember the words of the Islamic Radicals is that “death to all infidels” is their goal. And who are those “infidels”? Anyone not of the Islamic Faith. That’s you and me! Fanatical people with a belief structure that endows the rewards of their Faith by committing suicidal attacks, can not be defeated unless they are controlled in their backyard not ours. So wake up and face the facts. We needed to eliminate the potential of additional attacks (nuclear, biological, chemical) before the money of Saddam gave the Fanaticals the ability to attack us here. That is the concern that is most important. That is the concern that made my son volunteer for duty in Iraq and is serving there now. Concerns of what our enemy of 1967 (Communism) had in store for our Country made me volunteer for Duty in Vietnam. 37 years later I still cry about what your vocal minority did to us. March 17th will be my first time to the Vietnam Memorial and I and hopefully every person there will wear RED to show that the blood of our Veterans who have gone before us will not be tarnish by the ignorance of those who think America must not stand up for those who are terrorized, beaten, enslaved or killed because they are not of the right Faith, Color or Nationality. Freedom rings only from Democracy. May the United States of American and it’s Veterans continue to fight for the Freedom of every living human on this Earth so that Peace Reigns around the World. David J. Woodward, Vietnam 1968-69"
God Bless all our fallen soldiers!!!
God Bless Our Troops!!!!!!!!!!!
