Alright sports car fans, here is the layout.

9am Meeting, 10am start time

Start location is still McDonalds in Lincoln. I drove the Kank, and we are good to go. The road has been paved and is as smooth as a babies back side.

Rte 302w to Fryeburg Me. approx 10miles
Rte 5n to Bethel Me. approx 40miles
Rte 2w to Newry Me. approx 5miles
Rte 26n to through upton Me to Errol NH, at Lake Umbagog. Rest and fill up. At this point we will be near the balsams Resort. panaramic views of the White Mountains, bring your camera; as the mountains will be snowcapped. Spin, you can get your upscale lunch at the balsams. approx 45miles

Rte 26n through Dixville Notch to Colebrook NH. approx 50miles
Rte 3s through N.Stratford and Stratford to Groveton NH. approx 60miles
Rte 3s to Lancaster. approx 10miles
Rte 135s to Littleton NH. approx 40miles. end of run. there is an applebee's on
Rte 302s right hand side of the road, across the road from Walmart, that's where we will end our run.
I93 north and south is right there for your trip home. If you plan to stay over, there is a Hotel within 2tenth of a mile, and several others nearby......

Any questions or concerns, email me at cg7bmw@yahoo.com
Those of you who have other cars coming with you, please email me asap with a car count.
Also, do not forget your radio's, and cameras.

We may have a 2006 Eclipes coming along, I invited her and husband this afternoon.

Spin,

The run is not going to be the same without you and the wife spin, you have got to come along!

Hey guys, just took a look at the weather for the weekend, it looks to be great, in the 60's.
You can't ask for any better conditions than that. Sunroof open, cruising the back country roads. NICE!!!!!

Thanks to G-Force for picking the routes and getting everybody together. It was a very nice day for driving and it's nice to put a face behind the screen names. I gotta give props to the guy (YuYuRena?) with the Ti Gray MS Protege who drove all the way up here from Connecticut! And then back!

Along with cameo appearances from "a small animal", a Hummer and a deer, this is one run to remember

Hey Astral, thanks for putting up the pics. They look good and I like the way you scramble the license plate numbers I took less than 10 and none of them came out very well at all. I hope Bravehrt3 can find a server to host the videos that he took that day.
