@Soupermike invited me to a car show in New Roads, LA, and this being my last weekend home, I was eagerly looking forward to it.
Friday night, Bertha was fueled and loaded and ready to go:

Jak and I hit the road early, and as usual, he was on point with his navigation skills:

We get to the show site and holy crap was it packed! I think the total number was 375+ entrants. The local police took us down a few back roads to tuck us in at the end, because there was no was Bertha was going to squeeze through without eating some of the cars.
Setting up for me was easy.... 2 lawn chairs.
Mike parks and starts setting up...
