^ We are mostly going to be in the dry sections. Also that looks more like cloud cover. Here is an image I picked from the radar. By the time we get south, rain if any should have dissipated.




FullbackS2 - if you are reading this. Is the rain heavy by where you are?

Forecast was dry here in my local area. Further south, there was light rain but expected to clear up by the time we got to that part of the drive. That is why I had to do it today. Also, the fall colors are in peak this weekend and they are best viewed in a muted light that was available thanks to the cloud cover. So it seemed it was worth taking the shot and having the drive today.

Happy to report that not a drop of rain was encountered. We hit some damp patches in Columbia County, but it was not wet enough to spray the car. There were only two cars on the drive. It was Sean (Bror Jace) and I. We started at 10 past 10 AM this morning and were back in the EG area by 2:00 PM.

Mark355 and I are thinking about doing a drive next saturday if the weather is nice like it was today. It wont be as long as the Renss-Columbia drive. If any of you that wanted to go today but missed out for whatever reason, are up for it, post here and let us know.

Just Sean and I...the other could not keep up










At Crooked Lake








Mark came out to meet us at the end of the drive. We hung out and talked F1 for a bit before going our ways. While we were in this parking lot, we saw several near misses in the traffic circle in the back. People are just confused about how to use them. oh! and a lady in a red Montecarlo SS, looked at our cars and waved to us as she drove by. We also got a nasty look from a lady driving a Chevy Tahoe sticker bombed with cat stickers and hello kitty because we were standing in a space adjacent to our cars that she wanted to park in.

Wanted to go, but had too much going on.
McWheel was out of town too, so my staging area was compromised.
Next weekend may be perfect.
