Hi,
I'll be there, but can we try a different car or am I going to get persecuted for it?

Anyway, change of plans. A co-worker is also coming so she'll be driving the CR (well at least she said she wants to go).
This was a long weekend. How is everybody's weekend? We should have more weekly meets.

Official start is at 10:15 a.m.
Start will be at Exit 28 off Northway (I-87) (Route 74, Ticonderoga, Paradox Lake) This exit is at Northway Milepost 88.1 Exit 28 is 1 3/4 hours north of the Hudson River crossing in Albany and about 50 minutes north of Lake George Village exit. From Clifton Park rest area, probably about 1.5 hours. About 35 minutes north of the Warrensburg Exit and say 30 minutes north of the Chestertown exit (which I think is Route 8 for those coming from the west.
Exit 28 is about 1 hr, 20 min. south of Plattsburgh if you happen to come from that direction.
For Conedodgers staying in Long Lake, it is at least a one hour drive East on the Blue Ridge Highway which you pick up in Newcomb. Lands you at Exit 29, then go south on I-87 one exit.
No real parking area. Pull off the highway, go east a very short distance, cross Route 9 and pull over. Very expensive Sunoco station with snacks on right a hundred yards South on Route 9.

I'm pretty sure Rob is not selling his CR or else he'd already have sold it. Perhaps I should just steal it

Let me know if the coworker drops out. I will gladly drive the CR as hard as that may be
Hey! Rob, share pics of your new toy in the Pic of the Day thread and also tell us more about the new Vette.
[/quote]
Sure....she may drop off. If you drive the CR who's going to drive your car (JJ) ?
I'll try go get pics today.

The Shirt doesn't care about "mights" and "depends on"! Hell, The Shirt just learned that his +1 might be a red head with long ears and 4 legs.
Is that stopping him? Nooo! But it sure will make a difference in the navigation -- well .... perhaps that might be an improvement!
