Trip to Lotus Owners Gathering.
Thursday.
Stopped in on The Roadster Factory Summer Party in Armagh PA on the way there.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt (and the dash plaque).

Sunday.
Horseheads NY: PAXed 6th overall at the Glen Region autocross (but the son of
two Canadian National AutoSlalom Champions PAXed 1st in his Green and Yellow
Elise). I therefore got a 2nd-place LOG trophy and a 2nd-place Glen Region
trophy. Buffet at hotel in Corning.

Monday.
Drove the Lotus into Canada to view Niagara Falls. Stripped off the autocross
statics, since I didn't need anything extra to have Customs ask about.

Tuesday.
On the way back home (and the previous Tuesday on the way to LOG), I shot some
iPhone at this neat lodge I like in an Indiana state park. Tiny room in
historic section on the way to LOG; big room in the new horseshoe section on
the way home.

It was a great trip. The solo trips I took to LOGs in the past were shorter
drives, Lake Geneva and Saint Louis. I was gone a week and half on this one.
