Attaboy C! I will have directions for everyone which includes suggested routes for those heading back early.

Hey Murray,

How are the colors up there? Only a week away. Fingers crossed for good weather.

Just confirmed that restaurant can accomodate 70 people within the same room. Beyond this folks would either be in another room or the outside patio (was chilly last year). We are at 60 (65 including maybes), so do let me know if you will be attending soon - can we hit 60 cars? (at 49 - 55 including maybes)

Still room. Noted. Shane should be fine.

All,
If we do we over, will just ask that those that indicate they will be coming after the 70 threshold has been reached to please respect that those before you should be given priority for seating. Not sure how to enforce that other than hoping folks exercise courtesy. Knowing the group of people, this will not be a problem as there will be seating in another room or on the patio.

Thought I would post timings so that you can plan your day. We should be in Rosseau for lunch around noon. If we wrap up by 2pm there are two options to continue. Last stop will be in Washago at Washago Village restaurant for both options. Shorter route will get you there around 3:30/4pm. Longer route should have you there between 5:30/6pm.

Thanks for all your responses everyone. It's going to be a great turnout and it looks like weather will be fine. Maybe a shower or two, but nothing that would dampen the day

Lunch numbers are solid at almost 50 with others still pending.

It's a go for tomorrow! See you all then.

Just a tip for anyone that needs gas, don't gas up in Toronto, where it's 114.9 per liter, gas up in Orillia where a lot of stations are in the 104.9 to 106.9 range according to Gas Buddy

As it drizzled outside, this conversation is overheard...

"Yo Teek, we gonna do this?"

"Damn right B, now back that S up!"

See y'all soon...

"So, Teek, how was your day playing with your friends?"

"Look at me, I had a BLAST! Do I have to take a bath before bed?"

"Nah, get some rest, you can shower when you wake up."

Lots of new faces and hopefully, in the future will get to spend more time getting to know everyone. Thanks all (and Mike/Diane/Corvette Central for the generous raffle prizes), and Bruce for picking up the strays along the way...you are all hardcore! Just my kinda crowd! Till next time...
