This is a story from our Des Moines cruise this past weekend. I was wondering if this has ever happened to any other groups of Av's out cruising.
We were just leaving Winterset, IA on our way to Pammel State Park. I was third Av back in the line of 9 of us. Approaching an intersection, I noticed an approaching SportTrac pulling off to the side of the road. Now, naturally being a good Av fan, my first reaction was, "hey, this SportTrac is showing the respect an AVALANCHE convoy deserves"!
Arrogant, perhaps, but that's the first thought that came to mind.
Then, I realized, two other cars behind the SportTrac have also pulled over to the shoulder.
It was then it hit me what was happening: the other drivers, seeing the oncoming uniform DRL's, thought that we were a funeral procession and were simply honoring an age-old rural custom of pulling over for a passing funeral procession! 
What a hoot! I had never given thought before about that happening during a cruise! I wonder if those other drivers were thinking, "Where's the hearse?" or perhaps, "Hmmm, wonder why everybody in that family drives the same car?"
.
I would have not thought much more about this except that it happened a second time later in the cruise!
Any other Av cruises experience this "phenomenon"?
