yeeaaahhh... possibly but we're heading into the woods and believe me, there are so many trees and leaves that you'll bound to get something good to look at.

at this point, i'm praying for sunny weather on sat and sunday. as long as its sunny and dry, we're going to have fun. also i was told that there are more people coming and this post has been listed under different sites. again, those who are coming let me know. i hate to sound like a broken record but if i don't know you're coming, i'm not waiting.

TOTAL driving is 56.9 miles and google map estimates 2 hours and 14 minutes. depending on the way we actual drive and since it's on an early sunday morning, traffic should be very little hence driving time will be at least 30 minutes shorter than estimated. i've focused on lots of twisty, fun but also manageable roads. there are some really tight turns and blind corners that we will have to watch out for. please drive with a discretion that you're trying to AVOID SMASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT so do not go nuts unless you see that it's safe and you can control your car.

i'm thinking picture opp. will take us about 30-45 minutes of setting up, snapping pictures, looking at the nature, trees, leaves and lake. Oh there aren't any "real" public restrooms anywhere we stop so try not to drink to much water or whatever you guys choose to keep awake ... i'm seriously, unless we're all guys, i don't care where you do your business but i think there are some girls coming so ... well you all know where i'm going with this so use your best judgment.

FILLED UP YOUR CAR before the start of the drive or at least have enough to last till the very end of the route. THERE AREN'T ANY GAS STATIONs anywhere we drive unless we went out of our planned routes and look for it. Please do not b!tch at me about no gas stations as I do not have any type of control over that if you really want to scream at people, go scream at the town

FOOD is at the end of the cruise and there are some pic of it already on the thread. i've talked to the girl who worked there and she knows we're coming. last time i was there, i had a cheeseburger platter and it's pretty good. the place gives you a good portion and the price is decent. the place isn't big but i'm sure they can fit all of us.

Ok that's all, i think i've done all i can to have a fun event for everyone. for those who's coming, i will see you this sunday. for those who aren't, uhh... i guess i won't see you then .. ONE LAST THING... everyone PRAY for dry and sunny weather ... i don't care which god you choose or what methods... just pray for that.

well you still can... even if you can't drive you can still sit in with someone. these are 4 doors saloon car, not like mine where it's only 2 seats ... oh the last section of the drive will be a blast. there are more twisty incorporated into the routes and very decent view through out .

it is on nov 2, we are leaving sharp at 8am.. the meeting spot is a parking lot on exit 69 off 84... There will be a lot of cars so you wont be able to miss it...
about the routes we are taking: we dont want any outsiders to jump in the run at any point they want and ruin it for all of us.. Jake is trying to keep it safe for all of us...
