I am having trouble RSVPing to the BBQ at towson with the link you posted. My computer comes up with an error saying "system cannot find path". Please let the people in charge know that I will be attending.

 

fyi, thats an email address.

The error you get is because your computer doesn't know what program you have installed to send email for you, such as AOL or Microsoft Outlook.

 

Well this group Rocks!!!! Welcome

 

Damn I'm right in the area but cant make it , ill be out of the country ...next time.

 

Well then i'll eat your share of the food

 

pre_BBQ Run


.....those are the photos from my little excursion through the upper part of MD. You will have to excuse the blurry ones, my hands are still shaking a little after those turns.

If you note the condition of my car and a couple of the pics, there is a little dirt in there. I am trying to get rid of those roads, but it just isnt that simple. Please keep that in mind if you decide to come along.

With time out for bathroom and pictures, the trip was 3:30 hours of some incredible country side and wish for death turns. The bathroom break consisted of a few trees behind a maintainence shed.......if I could have found better I would have gone there. Towards the beginning there is a pass by the park center, that is the most probable location for bathroom break. It is, however, only one in 3:30 hours.

Port Deposit is a beautiful little town. We will be meeting on the left side of the Bainbridge Naval Muesum. It used to be the parking lot for the restuarant there, but that particular establishment has closed down. Google Map Get to the intersection of 276 and 222. Go onto Rowland Dr( a left at that point assuming you are coming down 222 from I95) Cross the railroad tracks and take a left. We will be parking in the pave/gravel lot there. Now, my scouting for a place to grab a morning snack only turned up the Frosting Fairy. I have to call, but according to the locals, she does have coffee and pastries fresh made in the morning. She was closed when I got there, so I am not too sure. Will know more later.

Now, to be realistic about time, I would like to leave Port Deposit between 8:00 and 8:30.......that will get us into towson between 11:00-12:00........hopefully the crew going there will be sure to hold a few burgers for us true mini explorers.

Now, to be realistic about cars, I would like to have a count before thursday.....and I will cut the list over 10. Since I am the only one driving who knows the route, and I dont know someone else with a Garmin GPS that I can download to, I figure that is the largest group that I could reasonably keep from getting lost. (Note, I dont expect 10)

Since this is not offically sanctioned by the DCMM event body, do not expect clings, beautifully printed maps, etc, etc....

Final note, my god it was a gorgeous day and gorgeous run......really mind alternating.(...to such an extent, I am thinking I need to get some sticky tires and improved rear sway bars. )

 

Cool Pics...Looks fun...Wont know till last minute....WHAT no Clings...HAHAHHAHA

 

how many burgers do you want me to save? hahahaha

 

I wonder if there will be turkey burgers

 

I will be bringing several party trays. fruits... cheeses.... meats... and veggies as well as some sweet things.

 

great places..


Yes it's worth to get up early to go for a ride around the northern part of MD. We are in !!

I'm planning to attend the pre-run. Just have to wake myself up early enough.

Weather is looking good too, though we all know forecasts can change:

What's the PayPal address?

 

This is going to sound like an odd question, but do you think Towson has a source of water and a hose we could borrow to knock off some dust?

 

Growler, et al,

They DO have their car wash set up for paying customers. Maybe we can sweet-talk 'em a bit, or bribe 'em with chow. You're really only talking about the (max) 10 MINI's on your run, right? That's pretty manageable, I'd say.

Cheers,
Matthew Z.

 

thats not one of those evil automated car washes is it?? .......i was going to hand wash the group if we hit another dirt road. (i sorta have a reputation i am trying to break here)

 

I would have loved to come to this, but this Saturday is my annual company picnic, so I will be tied up with that. Conflicts suck!

I hope you all have fun.

 

you can pay thru PayPal events@dcmetrominis.org
or you can pay at the day of the event either by check or cash.

As you all know I ALWAYS take money (at events too) so don't be shy and bring your wallets

Make sure you RSVP to Paul for head count.

Does anyone actually know if Edge really exists?
He always seems to be busy for every single event...

 

I can only ever contact him electronically, I think he's some sort of IRC bot.

Hmm, if he's a 'bot, is he an Autobot, or a Decepticon?

Just a thought

Matthew Z.

 

Autobot, of course.

All I know is, I made it to MOTD, and at least 3 other events (Towson in March, Spring Fling, and the drive-in night). That's not TOO shabby. Especially MOTD.

 

not sure, maybe you can bring him along when you come up for the Port Deposit run.

 

You know you're just going to end up confusing Marina with talk like that

 

Can folks roger up with what they are bringing, to avoid duplication of effort, and ensure a wide variety of comestibles and such..

I'm bringing watermelon, and if I can find good sauce recipes, yakitori or satay possibly. Failing that, some mushrooms to grill up.

Cheers,
Matthew Z.

 

good idea. i was considering a bunch of granny smith apples(slightly bruised after the drive from Port Deposit) or doritos(slightly crushed..) I am kinda limited because of the drive.

.....maybe some lychee?
