Hawk Nest Run

Well I already messed up the title.(should be Hawk's) but oh well....I thought our very first MINI fun run should have its own thread. Maybe have a more up to date list on who is attending, and a place to post anything questons/concerns/comments regarding the run.
I know for sure postal and myself are going, so if everyone can confirm here. i'll keep it updated.

Attending
1.Postal (& wifey)
2.Snypr (& 1 passenger)
3.Bucky
4.WVphoto
5.BCski

Maybe attending
1.Robinitis
2.Greg C.

Oh,

And Greg C. may have unconfirmed <g>... Depends on how his Saturday goes.
I mentioned to him I may end up heading out somewhere the following Sunday too.
(Depending on my Wife's tolerance level <g>).

This might be more of a local "run" for anyone who misses out on this Sunday.
I'm open to suggestions as to where we could go. Thinking probably not a
ton of miles, alot depends on the weather of course.

Date change question ??? or additional date...

Ok... I'm going on the run regardless <g>.

Here's the folks that I believe are confirmed... though not on the list above:

GonePostalWV
Snyper
Robinitis
Bucky
WVPhoto
BcSki

If that ends up all of us.... that's still enough for a good little run.

Now, I'm thinking out loud here. Who all would be up for another run the following
Sunday, the 20th? Or is this too much , too soon (and too much gasoline <g>).

I'm thinking we'd add possibly

MiniEsq
GregC
GetShorty
and one or two others....

The weathers supposed to be nicer (20 degrees warmer and sunny), this would
allow more participation... and make for a larger get together in general.

Any thoughts? Not trying to do too much early, but would really like to get our
group off to a good start at the beginning. <g>.

Just thinking out loud here....

I can't go the following Sunday - my boyfriend is doing autocross and it's my girlfriendly duty to cheer him on (actually, I just really like going to autocross with him). Anyone interested in trying that instead of going on another run? I'm sure they'd be happy to have you. WVPhoto goes....maybe he could tell you more. Or, if anyone is interested, I could get more details.

Hate to be a fairweather driver (at least leisure driver) but if the weather is not better I will probably not be going. Sorry I would love to go, but if it is going to be cold and raining, I am going to have join you on another run sometime.

Regarding the next Sunday I am already booked, with out of town friends.

Bowing to the enevitable .... <g>.

Ok , the weather hates me.

I've about reached the decision that tomorrow is just not a good day
to try to head to Hawk's Nest. Checked weather dot com, and it just
looks worse every time I check it. Now we're down to showers, then
switching to a steady rain most of the day. High in the low 40's.

With this in mind, I think I'm at the point of dropping back and punting.

I'm going to try to call BcSki... since he'd be the one driving in the farthest,
and see about literally taking a rain check.

With that in mind.... would anyone be interested in getting together tomorrow
in Huntington or Barboursville for lunch?

Thought maybe we could have a few of us meet up, possibly at the mall or
maybe at Famous Dave's if anyone's interested. I plan to do some driving
tomorrow regardless... just maybe more locally.

So... anyone available and up for lunch????

We'll try again later on to run up to the mountains, hopefully we can find a
time that works well for every body.

As nice as today was....

I've got a feeling tomorrow will be just as bad.
I was about to give you a call BcSki... glad to see you post.

We'll try it again in a couple of weeks. I'm not averse to running up your
way on a mid week day off, at some point.

Folks, have a good weekend. If anyone want's to meet up for lunch tomorrow, let me know <G>.

Early lunch???

Maybe beat the after church crowd?
Barboursville mall Chili's? at 11:45.

That's within walking distance for Snyper at the tire place, anyways....
I'll check online in the morning and plan on being there unless I hear
different. If someone has another preference I'm open to anything
but steak <g>... I'm grilling out tomorrow afternoon.
