yes with a small y

We will be covering a few miles, but Al and I want to put a little more of a social twist to the entire event.

[Charlie V]

So - are there going to be small tank cars??? I need to understand range and gas stops.

Great! I have had several discussions down here about this very topic. I like the social twist. Thanks!

actually, I've got a big plastic tank now so I'm good for at least 180-200 miles ( depending on how much I need to use the 'go' button )

it would be neat to have a nice spot from which those who were so inclined could go do a quick 1 to1-1/2 hour loop, and those not so inclined could sit around and socialize/relax. then all hook up and move on together

I like to join in the fun.

You betcha, I'll be in again. Counting the days, already, and there's not even any snow on the ground, yet...

Wow, this has gotta be a record. 20 "signed up" already, and it's 7 months away!

Distance? Never far enough.

It's been a good year with many exciting tours like Utah/Arizona the longest and NE Oregon the best for "spirited" driving.

It's inevitable that a lot of vehicles on a tour create unwanted attention. I don't know how to get around that but remember a few times disgruntled people using their Cell to call Police.

And yet, driving at the legal limit lined up like ducks is boring.

What to do?

Divide into 2 or 3 groups?

Charlie? Al? Anybody? Any thoughts?

Hopefully they wont be driving while on there mobile!

I would love to join you all on this tour. I need to know where in the okanogan you would be staying or meeting, then i would probably meet up with you all there (if my 'non p-car' is allowed)!

I will be following this thread for details. Good job Charlie and Al!!!

Don, great suggestion. I'll discuss with Al - we might be able to do this in a couple of spots.

I think Al will tell me he needs to be the weekend tour director and I will become the weekend social director by default. But, it could mean more beer for me. Hmmmm.

[Drisump]

I missed the last one but I'm likely going to make this one.....pencil me in. PM to follow Charlie. Cheers

Woah.

A few others mentioned the same issue in the past; that's why I brought it up.

I trust it'll be enjoyable.

Like Paul says, it's about 7 months till..................

Heavy snow coming down right now making me think of Waikiki.
