Dan,

We really do apprecaite the kind words. If we didn't enjoy hosting 
the gathering each year, it would not have continued to this point. 
As you can see, the trucks are simply a convenient and common link 
that brings some very interesting people together.

This year's new driver education challenge proved to be quite 
successful with many folks completely unfamiliar with this type of 
driving becoming "hooked". I have a photo of the 5'2' tall Family 
Nurse Practitioner who recently joined our practice, driving my 
truck. She has a huge smile on her face as she atriculates over an 
obstacle with only three wheels on the ground. 

One of the other Volvo highlights for me this year was when John Van 
Horn discovered an Unimog fuel cap would fit the fuel filler neck of 
a Volvo C-series truck. This means one could use one of the locking 
Unimog caps in place of the stock item. I know Scott Ingham of 
Expedition Imports has both the locking and standard Unimog caps 
available. His website is:

I have already posted the dates for NWMF07 on this list's calendar.  
Having six C-series trucks present this year was nice. I am hoping 
we can at least double that number next year. Please condiser that a 
very friendly challenge.

Take care,

Jim Molloy
