Normally we use 7 -21, but 7 - 0 would work as well.

We usually use 7 sub 0 also but I think it might be best to use 7-21 for this trip so we can be together with the group comming up the Turnpike.

Woo Hoo, this is so excited.

Btw, since our ferry time is 1pm. Should we have lunch at the park (order food delivery), or on the Liberty Island (at the island's cafe')?

This was a great run, the looks that people gave us on the NJ Tpke was quit funny. I believe there was about 29 of us.
I did not go over on the ferry as I had a Autocross to attend at the NJ meadowlands.

Thank you so much everyone for joining the fun. I'm looking forward to see and have fun with everyone again ..... soon.

And .... a HUGH Thanks to Peggy for helping make this happened, and for ducky, MINI cookies and everything. You're the best !!!

Should we do this again next year, may be on Sunday August 21, 2011? I heard that it will be sunny on the day, he he he
