Hey, my color printer just crapped out on me. I've got B&W's of the second leg, but if someone could kick out a color copy of those jpg's for me, that would be swell. I'll be manually highlighting the route on what I've got in any event. I'm sure my navigator would appreciate the higher quality images though. The black and whites are actually quite readable, though.
Thanks either way. See you folks in the morning.

See you tomorrow!And - depending on how well the kids do in the car; we just might ferry over to clinton - yes, miss all the good driving...but a 4 year old and a 6 year old for hours on end can be exhausting.
What time does the group anticipate being in clinton? is there a name for the place we'll be cooking/gathering?

Maybe you could meet us and only do the first leg and go back to I-5? Don't know how much time/distance that would save you except the drive up the island and back - you'd have to take the ferry twice...
Ahh - Okay. Well, poop. See ya in the morning then, around 10.

Definately a great time. I believe Michael enjoyed it, though he did remark that the roads were rather smoother than what he likes to play on. Having him watch the maps and call out directions made the run SO much easier and less stressful than trying to do it all yourself.
I think having the families along gave the event more color than usual, which is great. That's why Mazda gave us the extra doors and seats.
Sorry Darren & Linda, this is the first I've been online since 8 last night.
I'm definately down for another run in July. This one has to be south-end though. Darren has done more than his share of commuting for these events. There' are some great roads we talked about waiting for the boat, so I've already started coming my ref's for a good route. Of course, if you know one, post it up. I can do maps again (I did some playing with my second program, and will probably do a hybrid topo/turn-by-turn next time around (I may even be able to get usefull distances on there).
