Farewell from Retro Rock-It

Retro Rock-It has rocked its last Camp Quality esCarpade...  

With a few too many clunks and shudders, and a busted brake booster thrown into the mix, the cost of getting Retro Rock-It ready for the 2024 Camp Quality esCarpade outweighs the value of it, so it's farewell from Retro Rock-It...

Massive thanks go to all the sponsors and people who have donated over the years - the boys couldn't have done it without you!

The fundraising link will still take you to the appropriate site, so please continue to donate, because...

It's not the end of the line for Damian and Hoges... 

The boys have a new car in the pipeline with a new theme... so keep on donating and helping the boys raise much needed funds for Camp Quality!

Once the new blog is up and running, Damian will post a link to it...  stay tuned!

esCarpade Day 8 - Drive Home

Around 8 hours of driving would be required to get Hoges and Damo home safely, so they decided to leave pretty much as soon as they woke in the early hours of the morning... That's the moon shining brightly!

Heading off...

Nearly sunrise...

Back past Moree...

Sun up now...

A few wide loads out today...

About to cross back into Queensland...

Fuel, coffee and stretch the legs in Goondiwindi...

Turns out the blue trees were for R U OK Day...

Heading towards Milmerran... more wide loads!

Evidence of recent bushfires... some still smouldering.

The Milmerran Teepee...

And painted water reservoir...

On towards Toowoomba.

Along the fairly new Toowoomba Bypass...

Done!

Past the giant orange...

Into the Legacy Way tunnel...

Then into the Airport Link tunnel...

Hoges dropped home safe and sound!

Heading towards Damo's place...

Grid... no caution!  Damian's road and driveway are like a mini esCarpade!

Onto dirt!

Home!

Parking at the shed, there may have been a minor tragedy...

Retro Rock-It checking in at Damian's shed...

After an amazing 9 days away from home, the boys were back safe and sound.  Retro Rock-It went well for the trip, notwithstanding the penultimate day brake booster issue...  First on the agenda - unpack the car, do the washing and have a sleep!

Will Retro Rock-It be back in 2024?  Too early to say at this stage...
