Sounds like fun, I think all go join you wearing one of the Midnight t-shirts.

If you go or not at least get one of those great souvenir t-shirts.

Drill, just do it. Last year I made it to the store but at the last minute decided not to head out. I'm definitely making it this year and will pick up a shirt.

BTW, anyone bringing jack stands or something so the 07 MINIs can shine their lights into the sky.

Killboy's shot from the overlook 1.8 miles from the gravel parking lot (as the crow flies, not as the dragon twists)

With all the people signed up I probably won't be driving. But I will definetly go in someone's passenger seat. I drove last year and couldn't really scare myself, I was concentrating too much! It would be nice to experience it from the passenger side. Hope I can find a willing driver!

Stace, I don't drive the Dragon at the Midnight Runs. I stay at the Crossroads of Time at Deal's Gap as part of the support team, to direct latecomers, and to be there in case "adult" assistance is required.

Anyone wishing to just hang out at Deal's Gap is more than welcome to join me!

I should be attending midnight this year, seeing as how I'll be a geo-bachelor at the time.

Or they all need to install driving lights. Those would raise with their bonnets
