DIHxie Convoy

["Alan St. John" <phoenix@domain.elided>]

Skip and others interested,

I live in Atlanta and I'm going.  Email me off-digest for contact info and
we'll set up a Convoy.  Maybe we can get some of the Southern Scouts folk
around here to join us.

I'm happy to hear that a number of you from the North and West will also
be attending (Dan, Epp, Rob and others).  This is my first IH event and
I'm looking forward to meeting Digest folks there.

On a related note, being the worrywart that I am, I'm a tad worried about
driving either of my Scouts all the way to Charlotte.  Maybe this is
silly, but these vehicles are *old* and I'm not the world's best mechanic.
Do any of you folks have suggestions on 1) trip preparation and 2) plans
for dealing with major mechanical failures hours from home?  I had a '68
Chrysler in college and thought nothing of a 10-hour drive on the spur of
the moment, but I'm getting more cautious as I get older...
