Saturday, May 25 My race-team (Tom, Micah, Caleb and Halie) was off to the track for the annual autograph marathon by 7:00. Leaving that early is the only way to arrive in time to line up for the first-row autographs. After two hours of waiting, and the one hour signing session, they were each able to get 6 driver signatures! After that was the free pin line, the memorabilia show . . . and, of course, a turkey-leg gobble up for lunch. As the action kicked into high gear, I received some pictures from the crew. Meanwhile, Suzie and Tim ventured out into Indianapolis to explore the Art Museum. They spent hours, walked miles, and declared it outstanding! A storm cell moved through the area in the late afternoon just as everyone was returning. Most found a private place to sneak away and rest . . . I snuck in and got a picture of Halie and Caleb napping in the Silvermine! Late afternoon we roused for our night-before-the-race trip to the Big Wood’s Grill –QUAFF ON! Arriving at 5:30 we only had a 20 minute wait to be seated, and after that it quickly filled with race fans wanting to get their party on. We had a good dinner with BBQ pulled-pork nacho’s, fish tacos, pizza, burgers, and calzones. Halie and I had Peach Pie wine from Oliver’s Winery . . . SWEET! We did a fast drive-by of Camp Bremer again – all 8 of us piled out of the two trucks for a quick 20 minute hello, and then headed back to our parking lot. The day had been hot, but by 7:30 it was finally heading into the 70’s, and it was comfortable sitting out and making plans for race day.

We don’t go camping any more . . . we go ‘streamin’ ! The “SIlvermine and His” is our 2018 25' Airstream Serenity with Salsa interior and front twin beds., and ‘streamin’ is the name we use to describe our adventures. Stream along as we document everything from weekend trips to longer summer excursions and full-blown vacations. You know what they say: if you’re not in an Airstream – you’re just camping!
