Barb Smith writes, "These are some photos taken on our trip up to Burlington, VT, and the MOA rally. We had perfect weather the entire way up to VT. We took 5 days to get there, so that I could do some stamp hunting and finish out the IBA National Parks Tour. We pretty much ate slab the first two days, stopping in Birmingham, AL, long enough to catch breakfast with Bob and Kathy Steber, old friends of Mike's. We then got off the Interstate on day 3 to collect stamps at Shenandoah, Antietam, Harpers Ferry, and Gettysburg. We rode up to Saratoga National Park in Stillwater, NY, the 4th day and visited that national historic site, then took the scenic route on up to Lake Champlain and then over to Burlington. BMW MOA rally broke an attendance record, and Mike and I set up camp with a group of Mike's friends from previous years' rallies. Ben Muller was there, and we ran into the Goodalls and a few other folks that Mike knows. BMW Motorad had an impressively large demo fleet there, and the vendor turnout was impressive. We packed our soggy camping equipment and clothing in the rain, lugged it all to the UPS booth and shipped the sodden mess home so that we make the return ride less cumbersome.
