I brought a set on the first cruise, and honestly it was a pain. It's not real safe to be shifting through curves and trying to talkonthe radio. Plus if you crank your music you can't hear it anyways!

Like you said, you aren't gonna loose the pack, unless you fall asleep at the wheel.

Bring them if you have them. I got misplaced once before stopping to use the restroom. Don't know where the cruise went. I think they left me on purpose.

Looking forward to seeing everyone Sunday. Weather at the top of the mountain will be about 50 degrees. Dress accordingly. Arrive safely.

I believe Burger King is on VA340 (South Royal Avenue). Noon will be good. See you there.

Ye, sorry about that, man. I wasn't thinking real clearly. Woke up this morning feeling like a tenderized piece of steak. Wish I was with you all right now. Hell, I wish I had a car right now. I'm leaving to go take a good look at the damages and take some pictures for the court date. When I get back I'll put em up.

This drive was great. Finally made it to Wayside restaurant after sitting in the backed up traffic for 40mins. I took photos of the bear up the tree that everyone was gawking at (the cause of the jam). It was incredible - people with their kids at the bottom of the tree looking up at the bear taking photos. I wondered what would happen if that bear had climbed down.

Hope everyone got home safe. Cruising down 66 has never been so much fun.

Cheers for organizing this David.

Got home at 7:45pm and the wife had a beer waiting.

Will post pics soon.

Despite

a couple of wrong turns
terrible traffic
a bear in the tree tops
and abandoning 07nismoz at Burger King

I say we did well. Most of us got to the same place at approximately the same time. Appreciate the support. Its one thing to signup on a list. Its another to get your butt out of bed and drive all the way to Manassas. We will do it again in Spring 2009.
