Just got my new R-172 home about 3 hours ago, had to pull it through a hard rain and full moon crazies on I-65 in Louisville to get home to southern Indiana. pulls great, you can feel the drag increase as speed increases, I kept it down to 60/65 trying to learn her feel. After supper we going to set in it like a couple of kids and try the systems and work on where stuff goes, going out in it Saturday morning for first overnight learn how it works trip and oopps I forgot the can opener.

Congrats!  Don't forget the pad and pen so you can make lists of everything else you forgot.

Hey, we spent the night in ours while it was setting in our driveway. 

Congratulations on your new pod. Check out the Roundups section for two MI get-togethers next summer!

Ever heard of Odon, IN? That's where my family is from.
