Meet up Sat, May third at 8 AM.

Route-meister 87 944 C (Dave) sent a PM to planned participants last night. Anyone who didn't get enough info can PM him directly or wait 'til his route specifics are handed out at drivers' briefing.

Dave's personally driving the route tomorrow, a final fine-tuning to ensure our arrival when the café opens for lunch @ 12 o'clock.
I left messages on both of their phone lines to expect 15-20 of us at noon.

FYI, I'm traveling most of day (Fri) from the west coast.

Considering NY's deluge the last few days, I'm thrilled that Sat's forecast remains strong:
Currently calling for no rain

Got your pm
Is it the same starting point that we used when you drove with Ilko two years ago in the spring?

Clicking 'street view' off the ^^ hyperlink should yield a somewhat familiar image:

sorry, I spent my day fixing my car after hitting something with the front. now washed, polished and waxed as well. flat white front bumper and looks like the hood isn't perfect or the bumper isn't lined up right. i'll check it out after my drive tomorrow.

I'm hoping to have a navigator for myself on Saturday. I've got two ladies, one who tends to flake out the other is probable. hopefully I can memorize every turn tomorrow

Izzie is a bit on the large side, 85lbs and still growing at one year and one month old.
We're expecting her to fill-out a little more because her parents and older brother are in the 95 - 110 lb range.

She's from Pook's Rise in Sheffield, MA.

Drove the route, just finished, I had planned to add rt. 293 and 218 into this however 218 north of West Point is closed due to a rock slide. So we will be avoiding that. Other than that the roads were great and fun.

Whether for # of cars or people, check out post #2's attendee list - updated daily.
Add a couple of co-drivers / navigators to the list to get people count:

Sorry, but I had to bail early.
Eager to see some of the pictures from today!
Unfortunately, I didn't get much on the GoPro, it kept shutting itself off.

Nice to meet you Chuck. We should get Izzie and Roxanne together. BTW that VW really hauls the mail
