I read about this in the paper earlier this week.  Are you coming down for this?  I'll be around this weekend if you want to do busfanning.  Also, let me know ahead of time if you want to check out our vintage bus fleet at the CC&T- we have a few ex-WMATA coaches (AM General, Flx Metro 30', and a restored AB&W Fishbowl), plus a DASH Orion I.  www.commonwealthcoach.org
Once all the goats are rounded up, the German tourists are extradited, and the syrup trucks are returned, you'll have to admit that you never saw that one coming.

No, I won't be traveling to Roanoke for the NRHS trip this year but I do wish to see the railroad museum, the O. Winston Link museum and the CC&T in the near future.  Thank you for your gracious invitation and I will let you know when I plan to make a Roanoke trip.
