I'd join you if I could... but no MINI, no drive-y. With the longer distance and greater committment that this drive requires, I'd rather not take the ole' Mustang up there... especially since it's been making a few noises lately that concern me!

Hope to see you there! The RSVP turns off the day before, but DON'T worry if you miss the cut off, we will still gladly have you join us.

Maxicooper is correct, the most important accessory are the 2 way-radios. But if you don't have one, I know there will be some extras!

This is always a good run and we are looking forward to having a good time!!! OOH, and bring your camera! There are always good picture opportunities!

I'm going to try and make it, I'll officially RSVP when I know for sure.

I don't have a 2-way radio, that much is for sure...

Not for the whole route though, , but at least for the first half until lunch.

I am glad that you posted, but this is to RSVP for events. All events are on the calendar and that is where you RSVP. See you there.

Well, thanks to very generous friends, it seems I have a MINI to drive on Saturday, so I'll be coming, and Misti will be joining me too.

Looking forward to it!

Glad to hear it Sue and I just ran through the route today. The weather is supposed to be nice on Sat. Looks like top-down conditions (except for us hardtop folks)

See you all Sat morning at Rocky Gap.
