Perfect for a drive along Lake Huron.
Here's my proposed agenda, open to input from all:
1) Meet at MI Roadster's "estate" around 10ish. I can meet the Canadian contingency at a
TBD location and lead them up to 32 Mile & Rochester Road.
2) When we leave there, we'll call X FIRE N, who can leave Woodstock to meet us in Port Huron (It's a little over an hour to Sarnia from Woodstock I think). Our route will be Rochester Road to I-69 to Port Huron.
3) Meet in Port Huron and then drive up along scenic M-25. We can drop stuff off/rest break at the cottage on our way to Port Austin, or depending on time, we can just stop there for the BBQ and then proceed north. (Menu still being planned). One of my racquetball buddies keeps his boat at the marina in Harbor Beach, so if he's there on Saturday, maybe I can wrangle a ride for us.
So...we need to know who's coming, and your input into the plan.
Shoot FUZZ40 your RSVP, cell# and what type of Crossfire you have. Hopefully we'll get some more Blue ones this run.
Okay Harbor...just because we can't be there physically it's no reason to make it even more fun than the last time. Now there's a potential boat ride included. Come on. I'm going on vacation...that's supposed to be fun...but you're making me feel bad that I'm missing something better. The post needs to say "Okay Midwest/Canadian Crossfire owners, we're not going to have any fun but come anyway. It's hardly worth getting together without Mark and Ingrid, but we'll slog through it. And there's a boat somewhere on the water...we all know that lakes attract boats like good roads attract Crossfires. If you're hungry we'll forage for some grubs and berries, and if some meat is around we'll expose it to high temperatures, and maybe some sauce will fall on it.
In seriousness, have a great time. I'm glad the last vestiges of Ernesto will have passed and it looks to be perfect conditions for top-down driving. (Sorry, Coupe owners). We'll look forward to Fuzz's new production, and start the planning for the next run. Hocking Hills, Ohio is still a solid option. Enjoy.
