Ken  (* or any one else ) :

   Does Mog South still do a gathering  for the Walter Mitty at Road Atlanta
?  The last one I attended had to be one of the best  MOG events I've
attended.  Great time of the year to do a short road trip as well !

( I need to get busy and clean up the damage from the Alaska trip and
nothing gets me moving better than knowing that I'm taking The Duchess to a
MOG event )
