Many Crossfire owners who expressed some interest in attending a Florida Keys GTG are considering coming down from areas where winter driving conditions could present an issue. Also many owners take out their Crossfires only for "fair weather driving" opportunities. Accordingly I'm convinced that we should plan the 2013 Florida Keys GTG for spring time so participants will be able to enjoy a head start on summer here but not have to risk driving through winter weather conditions to get here.

So as of now, I'm leaning toward a plan for mid May 2013. Also I'm thinking of reserving a block of motel rooms in Key Largo for the Thursday prior to the actual GTG event heading down to Key West. That will allow those coming in from farther away a chance to arrive into Key Largo on Thurdday afternoon / evening and rest up / freshen up. Then we'll have an informal breakfast opportunity on Friday morning just prior to meeting up at the caravan point to organize the Crossfire caravan down to Key West.

Any / all comments and suggestions are welcome . . .
