If you will be in town ALL day on Friday come and join us for a private hosted lunch
Don't be concerned by the "off road" part...that was only the first time there
See who is already going here in Post #94

FRANC'S Third ANNUAL OFF ROAD. ADVENTURE IN NORTH CAROLINA
Jim and Trish have invited us to their mountain place in North Carolina.
So, once again we have a Franc's Off road experience set for Friday, October 2nd. Officially this is a freebie but token gifts are encouraged for our hosts.
We will leave the Lodge about 9:30 and arrive for lunch at 12:00 or so.
Plans are to stay until 3:00 or when the police arrive.
Jim suggested a desire to be on the road with us in his Porsche.
I told him we are fairly tolerant of other religions and he could join us.
This year we will place a "CROSSFIRE" Plank in the deck he built for our Crossfire gathering last year.
All are welcome, including crotchety old Canadians.
PM me with your names so I can form a list and prepare Jim's wife Trish for the invasion.

Technically, last year became off road because the county had crushed the original pavement into gravel on our planned route. I chose to detour that part of the route because I did not want to spend Friday evening washing cars.
This year we will again try that alternate route, assuming the repair and repaving is complete.

But I will be happy to be the first to offer my services and take point on this expedition.
Or at least 3 minutes behind the leader, Franc....
I hope someone has scoped out the nearest do-it-yourself carwash?

Just a note before I am out the door this morning...
Gary, good thoughts on the seating issue. When I call I will find out if we can bring our own coolers, etc...
Dan, glad to have you along.

Add Pat and Mickie to the list for the train ride. What ever everyone picks for the type of seating is OK with us we always go with the flow.
