This rally and the OppoMeet have both led me to the same conclusion, Oppo is full of truly amazing people.
Every experience I have had with Oppo has been awesome, and this rally was no exception. We met so many people, and everyone was so friendly. The rally itself was awesome, too. Before this trip, I had only been to New York, so the rally was a great way to see Connecticut. And it was pretty cool to run into fellow competitors throughout the state. We also got the added benefit of a list of cool places to visit if we make it back!
The rally was seriously a day I will never forget. My dad and I completed our first ever road rally, we met tons of awesome people, and saw way more of Connecticut than we could have on our own. I’d say it was totally worth the drive out.
And, the Grocery Grabber had no issues over the 2,495 miles we traveled. It now sits at about 224,500 miles. I have a few more Oppo stickers to add to it, too.
So thanks again, Dusty! You organized quite the event. Thanks to all of the Opponauts we met, you guys made the event that much more fun! I’m looking forward to the next one!

Where did you start from. Being 1/2 the country away I didn’t make it out. But sounds like it was a blast for everyone.

So my brother filled me in afterwards - I had no idea you had travelled so far for this! Awesome! This was my second Oppo meetup as well, indeed they/we are an amazing group. I was so distracted by the event I didn’t really take the time to socialize much beyond the quick meet and greet before the start.
Did you really come all the way out just for this, or did you have other family in the area at least?

We started from Waukesha, WI! We put on a few more miles because we made stopped in Pittsburgh, Boston, and Niagara Falls throughout the trip. We had to do a little more than the rally to justify the trip out haha! But it really was a blast.

We pretty much just came out for the rally! We did make more of a trip out of it and stopped in Pittsburgh, Boston, and Niagara Falls so it was a little easier to justify the travel distance, but it still was a little crazy. Definitely worth it, though!

Awesome! That is a heck of a way to see Connecticut. I’ve lived near Boston my entire life and saw more of Connecticut during the rally then I think I’ve seen in 40 years of passing through!

Glad you enjoyed yourself! Wish I could’ve joined in, but I would’ve been by myself for a trip even a little longer than yours from all the way to Connecticut from up here in Nova Scotia, Canada! Plus work, unfortunately....

Ah yeah, that would be a really long drive, especially by yourself! The timing worked out really well for us since I’m in between my spring semester and summer class, and my dad is kind of half retired so we didn’t miss much. Hopefully the next rally is closer to you!
