We don't do sign-ups. We go with whoever shows up. Typical drives have been 20-35 cars. If we get more cars, then we'll split the group and stagger groups by 10 minutes.

I know that this is short notice, but is anyone that is joining us on the 13th interested in joining us for the dry run tomorrow? I'd prefer to have at least one other car along with us that can get to know the route.
Drop me a PM and let me know.

Okay, we did the dry run today... it's a very pretty drive and was a lot of fun... lots of straights if we choose to stretch our legs a little. 
I am going to make two modifications to the drive based on what we learned today.
i) I think we'll cut the Delaware Water Gap out of the drive - there are two bottlenecks that are a pain for traffic and I don't think that any of us would have the patience to sit there in traffic.
ii) Ask you all to bring along picnic lunches. We can grab food up there, but I think it would be much more fun to eat up at the monument and enjoy the view. If the weather is bad, then there are near-by restaurants that we can use as a Plan B.
In terms of timing, the arriving back a little after 2pm still seems reasonable. We left at 8am and arrived there at 10:15am. An early picnic lunch would get us back on the road before noon and at our end point before 2pm.

Now, here are some photos taken today... they really don't do the view justice, but it gives you an idea of how amazing the view is from there at the monument - you can probably see over 100 miles in each direction and can see NY, NJ and PA. Pretty cool.
