I see my daughter once a month and she wants to go to the 100 year old hill climb that day. It was started by folks at the Indian Motorcycle plant in Springfield, MA back then.

One day flying home from somewhere I looked at the seat-back mag. It had a review of the 10 (20?) best pits in America. One in KC, Tenn, TX, etc and yes - Bub's BBQ was one of them. I can attest to it's excellence even after all these yrs.

Sorry I'll miss you guys (& it aint even a Sun!) esp you four - I can just picture you together. If you have time go up "Sugar Loaf" and view the valley take a peek. It's right around the corner (10 min drive?).

I wuz thinkin of Shaun when I saw the "300 member Reenactment" (AND cotillion!) for Aug. 2-4 in Florence, MA - lookpark.org. But don't think you'll be here all that time (8 days?).
