we don't want to impose on anyone -
so - right now the date is still flexible as we don't know if our invasion of enfield is acceptable. its not fair to put anyone on the spot.
this also keeps the location open as well.
i think we need to find out who is really interested -
I am interested within a 2 hour ride - that keeps it a day-trip for me. Enfield CT/Springfield MA is about my north-west limit.

Sure wish there was someway to organize a meet where everybody could come. Yeah we may have to drive for a while but get it so that we can go for a weekend or three day event. Sounds kinda crazy for a few days but that would be awesome to do. Ive driven as far as Pittsburgh PA which is about 13 hours from Ames here...

Won't be able to hook it up gents. I have a full schedule of "touristy" things to do. I'll be down in the Essex area Saturday night, til Monday, but spending time with my girlfriend. Hopefully you'll be able to work something out in my absence.
I hope the weather in CT is nice next weekend ;D

aaahh - bonding with the lady - very nice - after all the rain we have had over the past 2 weeks i would think we are in store for some nice weather; i gotta believe your weekend will be sunny jim. i wish to express my subtle regret regarding your absence jim but im sure we all understand that priorities must be tended.
I still think we can pull this off. can we still do the 23rd? who's in?

East Putnam, right on the CT / RI line, on Rt 44, we have DD, Wendies and KFC that show up - Im sure there's more there...
Google says it's a 1 hour 15 min ride for me - 55 miles - ½ secondary roads
gotta let the other interrested parties chime in...
