To me that's really going to eat into the days events.
So I just felt the end of the ride in Jamestown would be the best time and place. Fort Wetherall being my choice for that deed due to the area.
Not that we are doing anything wrong or illegal, but Wetherall is a bit more
secluded and private.
Certainly if the "dry-run" team finds a more appropriate spot tomorrow, they are more than welcome to make suggestions too.
As I said way way in the beginning, I may not be able to stay and do all the days events, but I'm going to try like hell.
If I didn't have a previous engagement for later on that day, I would have invited everybody who was going to have the ECU upgrade done over to my house so nobody could say boo about what the Crossfire folks were doing in that there parking lot.
But I'm sure with a little forthought we can make it happen in Jamestown.
Peace

I appreciate your location suggestions and have to totally leave it up to someone like yourself as I know nothing of the area.
AN ECM tune is done by hooking a laptop computer up to your car and reloading more efficent BOSCH desgned software that has been tweaked to make your XFire run better,into your car's computer (ECM).
This brings out the potential engineered into your car.
This process does not violate your factory warranty.

Re: Newport Ri Cruise
Can anyone start to put together an itinerary with times, addresses, etc. yet, or is it too early.
I am coming up from Long Island and am enjoying the description of all the possibilites but am feeling very confused as to all the places mentioned.
Additionally can anyone post directions to where we will meet? What time and date(s).
Can anyone recommend a decent motel to stay in close to wherever the meet will start?
Thank you in advance and we are really looking forward to meeting everyone and having a good time together!

Re: Newport Ri Cruise
I totally agree with all of that, Colt offers fireplaces and all of that and plenty of parking in one of the bettr places in all of RI. I'll second that motion and bring it up for a vote!!!

Re: Newport Ri Cruise
Well if the Bristol thing happens, that would be great. If it turns out that just a few of us head over to Bristol for the last part of the meet, I have a couple of suggestions. The following places have decent food, lots of parking and are right on the water. If we don't want to eat becasue we're too full from the picnic portion of the meet than we could just go for beers and cocktails. Beer, Crossfires, and the bay, what a great combo.

Re: Newport Ri Cruise
Do the fireplaces function as charcoal grills? If we bring charcoal can we cook burgers and tube steaks? It would be nice to do a little hot food by the chilly water, and burgers and tube steaks are easy to pack in a cooler.
I like the Colt State Park idea. What say the majority?

That's my thought too. I might even bring some steaks to do up, ain't nuthin better'n a good steak cooked on a grill. Tater salad and some green olives stuffed with pimentos, a nice blanket and a nice bunch of folks to share our love of Crossfires with. What can be better than that? Mixed crowd, I have to watch what I say but you get the drift

A cookout sounds like fun!!! When our office has one I usually get cooking duty. I can bring a back of charcoal and some lighter fluid... and utensils - lots of cooking utensils!!!

I'll leave it to one of the people more familiar with that area to give accurate directions. I do know it's easy to find.
