Sorry to say I am out for this year

Gotta be in RI by mid afternoon, and the run will put me too far away to make it on time

As you are on route 8 heading to North Adams, just stay on 8 until you reach the intersection of the Mohawk Trail, route 2. That's a hard left at that intersection and you are on the Mohawk Trail, the final leg of the loop.

Be safe gang. We wish we could be with you and miss you all.

We had, essentially our last post-op visit with our surgeon today. Kind of sad actually, as he is a great guy. What do you say to the person who saved your life? This was Theresa's first day out of the house. Her incisions are healing and the toughest part is behind her.

OK, one more, than I'll shut up. As you start out, when you get to skinny bridge on route 112, you should all be able to cross as a group to avoid any stragglers missing that light.
Link to the Saloon as just FYI. Valley View Saloon - West Dover, Vermont

We'll plan on leaving the Red Robin parking lot in Enfield by 9 am. We'll meet up with the rest at the "Stump" by 10am. Anybody else besides me and Tooler Wayne meeting at the Red Robin?

Ellie is not very happy with the weather (or me) right now.... this was supposed to be a foliage run not a snow-men ride to Moochfest. I hope you guys bring your wives/significant others...

Hey, at least it's not raining! Make sure she's in the Cobra while it's still in the garage. It's just easier that way. We'll see you at DD

Yeah, I suppose once she has the 5-point harness on, it will be harder for her to escape!

Is Roxanne your co-pilot? (Please say yes)

We'll get gas at Cumby's and see you at DD at ~8:40ish.

What a great day!!

Steve - thanks for organizing this event. You and Theresa were missed but Sean did a great job pinch hitting in the lead car position. It was great to see everyone. Despite the cold Ellie had a great time.

I'm taking classes so had to sit this one out. Looks like you guys had a great day. I saw someone in a silver backdraft this morning. Was wondering if he was going for the trail run.

I think he was teasing me since I was on my way to class lol.

You're welcome Jon. Sean thanks again. What a great shot of the cars at the Saloon. You guys earned polar bear points today with the record cold. We will be back next year.

Good times again. Thanks for the directions Steve, and its great that Theresa is on the road to recovery and will be back at it soon.

The only problem was the 25 degrees and 65mph wind on the back of the neck. I am going to be paying for that. Roxanne mentioned something about line dancing...I hope she was kidding.

Here are some pics. But I was not allowed to take any of the nude model at the art gallery in North Adams
Suprizingly there were no leaves to peep up in VT.

Great day guys, Sean thank you for pulling us all along and making sure we knew where we were going.... Nice work..... Yeah I missed a turn... Maybe I should travel a safe distance behind the lead car .....

Steve thanks for getting this kicked off.

We are all wishing the best for you and Theresa!

I am sure I have some left, But I think I froze most of my A$$ off today.

The views were great, the route was fun to drive. Thanks Steve, Theresa and Sean! I got home and went right to the hot shower for quite awhile. I've learned that insulated gloves versus driving gloves are important!

Those little amenities that we built into our cars like heaters and heated seats certainly came in handy yesterday. Thanks to all those who were able to make it for a great day. Looking forward to seeing those that couldn't make it real soon. I'll post some additional pictures once I get them from Peter.
