I would be all too happy to meet you next summer. I will even have my rig up and running by then. Let me know when you are scheduled to be here and I can have the whole gang ready to welcome you to the Greatland.
Most of the U turns I make are hard left turns and it has often happened that I needed to put the front wheel in the ditch or make a quick back-up maneuver to correct for the misjudgment. I don't know, you may be right...now you have me curious, I will try a hard right and let you know.

Meet up next summer...you bet. I will keep you posted as to our plans.

Good Day!
