National Parks, the Highway system, need I say more? Get off of our presidents back, and enjoy Larry and Patsy's trip coverage (he's certainly not the first president to make such trips across our country, so why harp on him only)???

Larry and Patsy, I'm sorry I had to post this, but what Floyd printed was over the top, and I for one am glad to see the pictoral results of this country we should be thankful to live in, and allow(ed) our tax dollars to create/sustain...we need more people like Teddy Roosevelt (and Obama), who give a hoot about Americans and our way of life (as opposed to his nay-sayers in Congress)!!!

Enjoy the rest of your trip, and have fun racing out there in 'Vegas, but watch out for Elvis!!!

Thanks to Larry and Patsy for the pictures.

To all that voted for obama in 2008 to prove you were not a racist, you have to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you are not an idiot. Just a fact.

Floyd Staggs · 10-26-2011, 11:11 AM

Larry and Patsy, I always thank you for the pictures and the way you chronicle your trips.

I took my comments to the lounge.

Please take political comments someplace else-this thread is about the Hill's Southwestern Swing. That goes for Hampton's comment and your comment as well, even though they are from very different perspectives.

Absolutely great pictures from your trip, Larry and Patsy. A chance to see a part of the U.S. that I haven't seen in way too many years. It's almost like being there with you. Good luck to all in Vegas, both in town (slots?) and on the track.

Hey guys!

This morning I went outside at 6:45 and all the trucks were running with lights on ready for the "land rush". Then a truck comes in at 7, blows its horn and the race is on. We went from being about #8 in line to about #40. I don't know where some of these people came from. Just all of a sudden they were there. Now we are sitting in line waiting to park. More later.

Isnt it a shame some still try to take advantage and Break in line. Sad comment on behavior and selfish nature. The Number on the windshield helped that but cant when you arent even in the track yet....
I remember many times arriving early to "get a good spot". Then the time I had to just take the only remaining piece of dirt to park and told my family " I can win it from here". They laughed but I got Runner up in SS .
Have a good time Larry and Patsy, Thanks for the photos.
Dick
