Sorry I didn't post when I got home. My DSL was down, and only now came back up.
I had a great time, totally worth the drive. It was wonderful meeting new people.
My dive home was perfect, fast and uneventful. I pulled in the garage a tad before 3:30 (and that was with a pit stop in Castaic).
Many thanks to the charming hosts.
Scruffy could not stop licking and sniffing my toes that Scoundrel attached himself to.
