[quote=Xfirenorth]Do we have an itinerary for the Newport Cruise yet? I think the meeting time is 1000 hrs at Newport Grand, unless you're meeting for breakfast some where, but nothing else has been said about exact routes of travel, etc. I know I'm curious about what we will be doing.

Will we have a plan, or will we be winging it?
There will be an itinerary of sorts. 10:00 am is the correct meeting time at Newport Grand parking lot. I am going to ask for a weigh in of all that are going to be attending so that I know how many spaces we will need at Colt State Park so that we can get a fire permit for the entire area. If y'all could chime in with anything you would like as far as places to visit.
As it stands now we have Belcourt Castle as a photo op spot followed by a run to Ocean Drive back and forth through Newport again to Middletown and stopping at a market to get hot dogs and hamburgers or steak/chicken and all the neccessary goodies to fill us up. Then on to the next photo op at the windmill, should make for a very nice backdrop. From there it's a direct route to Bristol via the Mt. Hope Bridge. It would be great if we could have someone run ahead and shoot us all lined up coming across the bridge. Once we get to Colt State Park, we can take some more photos and prepare for any cars getting upgraded, while that's being done, we can start the fires. Once the work is done, we can all talk about our cars and our thoughts for the future.
It doesn't sound like a lot but it will be and it will be fun.
Also, I need a count as to how many people will need tokens and how many. Please be accurate and send me a PM with your requests.
If there is something that we discussed previously, That I inadvertantly left out, let me know. I will be leading the pack throughout the cruise, I will NOT let anyone get lost and I will stop if I see that the others have been stopped at lights or have been cut off. I will also provide a map with the entire route planned out in advance. I also will recomend that everyone run wth their emergency flasher and headlamps on for visability.
Once again, if there is something that I forgot, let me know and we will try to change it accordingly.
There is a lot going on and I am doing my best to get everything organized correctly.
Thanks for your patience and understanding in this matter.
