you didnt read the entire post did you. no one know the official route beside people who helped plan the route. if you want to come to the run say you're in the official run and pm me your contact info and i'll reply back with my cell phone. this way you can call me if you got lost or something.

everyone, please check the first post for all updates and news. Meeting place is exit 69 off East 84. We're lining up at 8 and head out as soon as everyone is lined up. This is why you're telling me you're coming is important because if i don't know you're coming, i will not wait since i want the roads to ourselves that morning. the less traffic the better for us to have fun.

the test run yesterday was good. i'm happy with the mixture of twisty roads, hills, straight way along with multiple ponds/lakes locations and plenty of trees with wide range color of leaves. one thing i do want to tell you guys is there isn't a GAS STATION anywhere along the cruise. I had to frikin limp around with my car to find a gas station that carry 93 octane so FILLED up before you start driving with us or carry some extra tank of gas. the only gas station that you will see is at the end of the run so plan accordingly. anyway, looking forward to see everyone on the foliage run.

Sorry, scientist by nature...I love data.

Addy is the google info - unless there are more than one of those pizza joints. Thats it.

Ill be paper mapping it. I basically know how to get to coffee shops near me here. Beyond that - I am lost.

Wow dude looking at these pictures on the camera doesn't do them justice, this one came out really good. I like that my car is in the shade too so you cant see the swirl marks .

bernie - pm me your e-mail and i can send you those logs etc....

Oh p.s. that picture may be worth some money now as it is the last picture of my rear bumper before getting smashed
