Well, looks like I'll be leaving a bit later than planned. Chisty has a test she can't miss (dang school  ) so we'll head west probably around lunch-ish time. A quick trip to Cooper Vineyard might be tough to make now (anybody know who carries their wines in Hampton Roads?) Should put us in Monterey around 4 PM. That would be the height of rush hour there. That would mean 10 cars per hour at the main intersection rather than the normal 8! I'm telling, ya'll, this place is laid back. BTW, T shirts have been shipped!!!!!!! |

I have the day off and will be packing the cars and getting everything ready to go. We may be ready to head out by 1:00pm. Give us a heads up, and maybe we can convoy up together.  |

It looks like Craig and I should be convoying down by 12 or so. Will probably take the most direct route but still try and avoid Route 81 which I have alway disliked with all the big rigs. Should arrive at between 4 & 5 in time to have a casual dinner with whomever is there. Weather is looking a little better and hopefully will improve over the next couple of days. See Friday  , Brian from DCMM |

Okay, getting down to zero hour. At the moment, looks like I'm planning on heading out around noon. If y'all wanna meet up somewhere along the way, we can certainly do that. Pick a spot. Maybe Newport News park or maybe Super K Mart in York County of Victory blvd. Might be good there and grab a bite to eat before we head out. There is a Chik Fil A and a Burger King there. I figured maybe a gas stop before we get out of Staunton. There are two gas stations in Monterey. We'll definitely need a fill up before Sunday's adventures. Also, don't forget the local SPCA. I'm waiting to hear back from them as to what they prefer, products (cat/dog food, litter, newspaper, etc.) or good ol' cash. I'll let y'all know as soon as I know something. But don't forget them!  |

Dale, Got a look at the Fall Colors Run shirts when I got home from work this evening. NICELY DONE At the moment I am planning to stop off at BJ'S in the next couple of days and picking up a 5 gal. bucket of kitty litter and some dry dog food for our donation to the local SPCA in the area. If you get any feed back from them about a wish list, please post the info asap. Probably too late to start saving newspapers now. Wondering..... are they aware that we are coming with donations, and will they be available to accept same over the weekend ? We are REALLY looking forward to this event, and am sure it will be a blast  |

I so wish we were making this run, especially with the chosen charity... sadly work/reality has gotten in the way.
Just an FYI, all shelters can always use old blankets, towels, sheets... and don't forget laundry supplies. They do their own laundry and soap & bleach are in high demand.

Agendas, directions and stuff are getting printed up today. Getting excited. The weather looks a little iffy Friday and Saturday at the moment, but Sunday has cleared up. Hopefully the weather will break a little for us on the rest of the days. If it's raining, we might wanna re think the darkness run.......

It looks like Friday night might have heavy rain so we might want to skip that night run. Saturday is looking better and better as we approach the weekend. As we all know the best weather predictor is when we wake up and look outside  I noticed that there is a Seneca Rocks run on Sunday. Is that the Seneca Rocks that is North of Monterey? Just curious. See ya, Brian |

Are we going to try and have a carvan up to the colors.
What do we need to bring for the SPCA? I like what Dave said.
Don't forget the radios too.
