It is always so much fun watching parades like this no matter how long they last, I was actually in one at one time, and I found out one thing, you travel at such a slow pace in your vehicle, too slow for mine, my engine overheated a number of times form the very slow pace, and also from me hitting the brakes so many times going down the parade route, dont know how all these fire trucks police cars etc, dont have the same thing happen to them going down the route at the pace that they do......
