I'm fairly sure we can do the run in one group. No interstates to get on/off. We will be driving through one town in WV with several traffic lights, but no turns at any of them. We have a preplanned "catch up & regroup" point picked out.

Our cell # is printed on the runsheet that we'll distribute at the drivers' meeting on Sat.

An experienced sweeper will be a great asset.

I'd be willing to sweep if you could send me the route in advance.

Reason being is I program the route into my GPS, and follow along with that. I have a 'waypoint' pretty much at every turn, so if we miss a turn, it can route me back to the point that we missed, or at a waypoint further in the route.

The GPS is great since I usually motor alone on these trips, and it's outstanding in the case where I'm sweeping and some get seperated. I can take the lead, and not miss a beat!

PM me and let me know!

We picked up the Clings from Krut last night. They look COOL! We will be bringing them along with us!

 

 

I also think it would be nice to have the route in a Google Earth format so I can import it and run it "virtually". I don't have a nav system, but I find that using Google Earth, I can get a good idea for the nuances of the runs, and even print maps if needed. I could create a file if I can get the routesheet.

 

Don't forget to stay within the virtual speed limit. Don't wanna get a virtual ticket.

 

Do we get the clings at the beggining or end?

 

You will get them during the run. We will have some of the people, volunteers, to go ahead of us during the catch up phase and give them to the participants like a water stop on a marathon. As you drive closer the the volunteers, they will "toss" you your cling and you have to try and catch it within a 3ft area. If you don't catch it, you don't get it.

 

Thats no fair, the cabrios will have a better shot at it landing in their MINI

 

Ok, I got some radios, but I cant figure out if they have subchannels http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1138086673147 i got these. And for the people I'm meeting for the ride to Cumberland, ill just meet ya at the diner.

 

Doesn't look like they do the subchannels. They list what I believe would be subchannels as "Codes per Channel" and that is "none". So I don't think they do. The next step up one (the $60 set) does look like they do subchannelling.

 

Yeah, the packaging doesn't call the subchannels, subchannels. I was confused also when I went to buy mine.

Diner is great. Thanks.

 

We took a drive up to Shanksville today to check out the PA part of the run. Everything looks good. Leaves look perfect.

Weather still looks good for Sat. BRING A JACKET

 

I drove to Hagerstown today and the leaves are turning more there as well... I can only imagine how pretty it looks further north into PA..

Lets hope the weather cooperates!

 

Ok, I got http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1099391907665 these they should work...

 

Question.. why am I quoted above, when your post has nothing to do with my comment?

 

Yep, that should do 'er!


-Paul!

 

i had you on multiquote, probably middle clicked it by acident, sorry sally

 

Anyone want a passenger for this run? I dont feel like driving!

 

Are you serious? Cause I PMd you about this a few days ago, and you said no. Or is it cause u dont like me :(

 

Coopercops has a great idea. People tend to leave things at the 93 Memorial, so I am going to bring one of our extra flags, and a sharpie. We can all sign the flag and leave it at the memorial. Does this sound like as good an idea to you all as it does to me? Now we don't have to sign it, we can also just leave our flag.

 

I think it sounds like a wonderful idea, including signatures!

 

Id love to sign it. I think the flag with the memorial in the background would make for a perfect photo-op

 

sally, you are on my way out of there. I can pick you up if you want. lemme know. i'll pm the cel.

 

I was actually thinking of backing out completely, but then I drove from western MD to work today and saw how pretty the leaves were. And this months photo contest on NAM is "Fall Colors". So I'm trying to figure out a way to get up there and back.GREAT idea Stacey.. Id sign it as well.I will take you up on the offer during the run. And Ill let you know if I decide to go up friday as well.
