Here is a handy schedule I made up for this year's MOTD. I know the drives registration will be opening on Saturday, January 4th 2013 (a full week ahead of the event registration opening). So in order to plan out the most of my MOTD 2013 experience, I have compiled a nice breakdown of the event. I have this up on Google Docs and it's free for everyone to view (you don't need to have a Google Docs account!). I also have a 4 page .pdf file that I'm attaching to this post for anyone to download to prepare. I also will try to stay on top of the MOTD schedule, so as events fill up and new ones are added, I can update it accordingly on the Google Docs version. So bookmark that and you can stay up to date with the events.

***Note: I have a drive listed on Wednesday morning that will be similar to the "Sunrise Drive Thru the Smokies" that I am leading. I sent the info over to Barry to have him add it to the website, so it may not be listed just yet, but it will be soon!***


Google Docs Spreadsheet for MOTD 2013


I also made up a Google Calendar for all the events currently planned for MOTD 2013. Here is the link to that: (Note: you will need a Google account in order to view it!)

Google Calendar

Desktop instructions:

• After logging into Google, use the calendar in the upper left hand corner of the page and scroll to May.
• Click on whatever day you want to see.
• Click on the event you want to add to your calendar. A little pop-up box will appear. (Click on the block you want, not the name of it. Clicking the name will bring you to the details page for that event.)
• Click "copy to my calendar."
• Fill out whatever information you want on the page and click "Save" (you can also add a reminder via pop-up or email while on this page).

That's it!


For all you iPhone/iPad users out there, try this link instead:

Let me know if the links don't work. I will try to fix any issues there might be with the calendar. I unfortunately do not own or use iPhones/iPads so I can't test it out.

I will also try adding in directions for the Google Calendar app for mobile users.

 

I also added the Google Calendar instructions so you can have it on your mobile device (if you have a Google account)

 

FYI...everyone will have a personal summary of the drives they signed up for by simply going into their account and clicking the "Your Itinerary" tab. From there they can even remove themselves from a drive if they need to.

 

Barry, does sign up start at midnight tonight?

 

5:00 am tomorrow morning Eastern time.

 

Snooter, 0500 Sunday? MotD site says 6th which is Sunday.

Confused in Savannah

 

Ditto

 

His facebook post says Saturday AM

 

Yup, sign up for the drives started this morning, some drives are nearly 1/3 full at 6:30 AM, so get on it!

 

Done

 

It says to some back on the eighth now to sign up???

 

yup, had some technical issues with the new format and had to shut it down till my tech guy can address the issues on Monday

 

OK kiddos, sorry for the technical issues yesterday. I was worried this might happen with a first time system. But I just put too much time into this "itineray" thing to not have it working properly.

Looks like we will be able to re-open the Day Drive sign ups tomorrow, Monday, night at 8:00pm (eastern time).

Again, I apologize for the inconveniece yesterday

 

Just updated the spreadsheet and Google Calendar!

 

Thanks for the iCal link!
