[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [qb].........and rent a car for AT. [/qb][/QUOTE]I've previously reported here that DPM once did just that! Since DPM was also an airfan (anyone else remeber Kalmbach's short lived Airliners?), he and Margaret had a journey of fly KMKE-KDCA, rent, AT, then KMCO-KMKE. However when he did this journey during 1972, auto rentals had a time AND mileage rate base rather than the customary time only prevalent today. He had to do some very quick explaining to a quite skeptical auto rental employee as to how did a car rented at National end up at McCoy with only 60 additional miles on the OD? Suffice to say, the employee had never heard of Auto Train, but DPM had enough documentation to keep the authorities at bay. As for my upcoming, simply because I'm by Jct of of 495 and 95 by 2PM does not mean I'm "home free'. It's Sunday and who knows what traffic jams there will be near that large outlet mall Potomac Mills? I'm already watching advance weather forecasts; the Local NBC 'weather girl' (at least they didn't christen her with some name like "Merry Sunshine' - just Ginger Zee - apparently a shortened Dutch name - Zuidervandersloot, perchance?) presently forsees no major weather problems. It will be tense. [/QB][/QUOTE]
