We have been invited to the North Carolina mountain home of Jim (SQUERLY) and his lovely wife Trish.


SO... FRANC's Off Road Adventure will run again this year.


Sadly, THE COUNTY HAS PAVED THE GRAVEL ONE. SO I MAY HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER ROUTE.


We are in debate over having the event on Friday or Saturday. I will start a thread on this soon.


Meanwhile,,,; Comments are invited.
