The plan is to spend Thursday night around Yankee Candle because leaving Friday Morning at 0400 last year made it a long day. JOS and I tired out around 3:00 PM the same day from alot of driving. This year I want to drive the scenic route.
or then there is the
Ice Cream Run; I need to get more details. I may want to do part of this run.

I did my first MOT last year, and had an absolute blast, (even though there were clouds at the top of Mt. Washington. No view
).
Here's a write-up of my experiences, should you be interested:

This year I can't do it, but I will return again sometime soon!
All I can tell you guys is that if you're interested, BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM AND MOT REGISTRATION
ASAP!
There are only so many spots and rooms available.

I would LOVE to do this, but I don't think hubby can make the trip with me... and I'm not about to go there on my own. I need a travel buddy

Clearly why you should just travel with all of us as a group!

Totally unrelated... but I designed a shirt that is basically your license plate:
I just wore it to work last week!

Love it! A bit too pink for my own attire, but fully support your mindset!

Me and my father are going. We can't decided if we will take both MINIs or not. I am going to bring mine for sure. There is a group of us heading out from western NY. Haven't booked anything yet, I am planning on staying at a nearby campsite.

I just signed up this morning... staying at the Attitash Hotel as recommended by the MOT site. The lady said, "Wow a lot of people are staying here for that event!"
MissMoxie, I too made reservations still not sure if my wife can make it either... Nonetheless, I've booked everything for two... :-) Driving up Friday morning.

We're leaving on Sunday, but instead of NY we'll be headed to Cleveland to visit family.
