Bummer, we're vacationing in Orlando this particular weekend. Found you guys about 2 weeks after last year's run, and have been looking forward to it ever since.

Oh well - there's always next year.

[SSR290]

Plan on us being there.
Missed this last year because of weather on Saturday and plans on Sunday.

Hope for good weather and maybe some leaves.

I would like to attend, where and what time are you meeting up. I'm about 4 hours away, so i need to make plan maybe to drive out Friday after work. Where do you start and end. I have driven the skyline drive all the way to Tennesee, very nice. Thanks, Shadowman...

[ssr71]

I'm working on making it this year. We're scheduled to have our maintenance day on the 8th, but hoping that we can push out to the 15th instead.

Jim,

Debbi and I will be there!

We'll coordinate driving up to the meeting location.

Also, Happy Birthday and thanks for your card.

We have to get together to see "W" before it's pulled for national security reasons . Maybe this weekend if you're available.

[ssr71]

Well, I talked to the "boss" and he's in agreement to push our maintenance by one week. Hopefully upper management wont scream and holler, but I'm now going to jump in with both feet and say I'll be coming along.

If they don't move maintenance day, they'll be doing it without me.

[BIG JIM]

BUMP UP

[Shadowman]

Hey all, this run is the same weekend as the Urbanna Oyster festival. I am thinking about taking that Friday off and going to the Oyster festival in Urbanna and then leaving from there to go up to Front Royal around 12:00 or 1:00. (if you've never had an oyster fritter, you haven't lived!). What time are you Tidewater guys heading out and what route are you taking? Shadowman

[hawaiinfun]

hey john we're taking friday off also and going to go the way map quest directions have given us.will probably leave norfolk around one on fri.give me a call and we'll dicuss options,ray.

[Gary G]

Spoke with "Ritchie" today. He says he might swing by for a short tag-along ( Up to Luray exit?)

He'll be driving that beautiful 2006 Richochet FPR!

It'll be great if he's able to make it. "The more the merrier".

[thatrhinoguy]

Big Jim, you said you would post today, I didn't see anything. Forecast says 30% chance of rain Saturday, is it still a go for Saturday? Don't want to drive several hours if we are not going, I need to back home Saturday night so can't stay for Sunday. I'll check for a post in the morning before I leave for Front Royal via Urbanna. Thanks! John
