We would probably need to leave the lodge at 8am to be back by about 5pm with the stop for lunch of course along the way.
Still want to have the BBQ on Saturday each year to.
It's probably a bit long for most to run on a Sunday but......there is always next year as you said
Gary: I think a photo session at Fontana Dam is okay for the group pictures we all want to take back with us. And this is the only time we're all gathered together in one central location where we can look over our cars, see & discuss mods, and discuss some common issues. I, for one, really like the group shots we take and this year it might be difficult to get us all in one photo!! How 'bout that!!! That's something to be proud of!! What enthusiasm from a bunch of car enthusiasts!!!!!
But I could do without the staged US129Photo pics at Fontana Dam that are setup for us to get individual shots of our cars with each owner/driver. That's what takes considerable time. Imagine having to get 77 cars thru a session like that! You said it yourself, we're leaving earlier this year just so we can make all that happen. I like leaving earlier. But I want to drive, not sit around for a couple of hours!
Maybe we can discuss for Fall 2011 at drivers' meeting on Friday evening.
