Day One, Run For The Fun Ocala, Florida

Morning Mopar Fans....

What a better way to start a trip then to meet at 7:30am....well there we were ready to get on the road...there is nothing better then to see a line of some of the best cars there ever were, with a police escort. Whew, I still am in awe of seeing this, of course I got to be in the line with them...lol....so off we go at 8:00am, into the sunrise, ready to meet up with other mopar guys. We took the back roads to the highway, it's so cool to see the countryside, especially to me, the big city woman....I love watching people watch us. I saw a guy in a pickup truck on the highway, video taping us as he drove by....we made a couple of stops on the way, picked up some folks, had lunch and made it to Ocala around 4:30...whew we were here. What excitement to look forward to seeing all those amazing Mopar Cars. We bbq'd out by the pool, everyone got a chance to talk and enjoy good food. Then came the trivia questions, it looked like everyone enjoyed. So today off to the show field, lot's of walking, meeting new people and just looking around and seeing how much everyone is enjoying the show. So until later, happy motoring, and Mopar or no Car....
