Motorgyrl Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks for such a great run!!!:congrats:
TATTRAT Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 I gotta admit, I am pretty pissed at myself, and really wish I could have pulled it together to get out there today. What a beautiful day to be motoring. . .laying around, feeling like 8 different types of ass has been for the birds. And I didn't get to meet Merlin and some of the new first timers w/ DCMM. flickr
SbNimble Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Craig/Lona/Merlin, Thank you for an incredible run! For our inaugural run with DCMM it was perfect! :congrats: Sherm/Jo/Ms Peel P.S. The run home was just as much fun, if not more. :motor: And thanks Haemish for fixing our radio!
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 I had a great day and I have a slew of pictures to process. I'll upload a link to the pics on Picassa as soon as they're ready. Thanks for all of your work Craig and that was mighty fine sweeping Marty. Laura, great job on the relay (sorry about the attack of the stink bugs) I wish my shoulder wasn't hurting, it was killing me to be passenger all day. Mark did a good job of keeping Tigger whining in joy! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Despite my printing the wrong route sheet, we still had lunch in Luray and we enjoyed the maze. Jono and others who couldn't make it, we will do this run again and you'll be there for it.

Honestly Craig, the true sign of a good leader is how well they can handle a screw up. And the little glitches in the route were handled perfectly. They just made for more of an adventure. I really enjoyed the run today. I wish I could have driven as the roads were great. Thank you for setting it up and getting us to Luray Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

maacodale Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 19 MINI U turn, not even close to the record. Two years ago on the Blue Ridge Parkway tour, we had a 44 MINI U turn. THAT was different. Wish I couldda made it. I did get the finishing touches on the Fall Colors Run finished up though. I'll be there next time!
cmcveay Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Posted October 10, 2011 Dale, I know you didn't make it 'cause you just didn't want to meet Merlin just yet. It's okay! I really wish we (Lona and I) could make it for the fall colors run this year, it would be an anniversary celebration for us, just a week late but with the same awesome group that was at our surprise wedding (you don't hear those words together too often do you?) I hope you guys have a great event this year though and we'll thinking about you all the way from Key West! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Despite my printing the wrong route sheet, we still had lunch in Luray and we enjoyed the maze. Craig, it was a great run. Thanks for pulling it together. I can say I am grateful that this did not happen to us. Family lost in Massachusetts corn maze calls 911 BOSTON | Wed Oct 12, 2011 3:15pm EDT (Reuters) - A fall outing to a Massachusetts farm this week turned frightful for a family who got lost in an elaborate corn maze and called 911 to be rescued. The call for help came on Monday evening from the family lost in the dark in a seven-acre corn maze at a farm in Danvers, about 25 miles north of Boston, police said on Wednesday. "I don't see anybody. I'm really scared. It's really dark and we've got a three-week-old baby with us," a woman can be heard saying in a recorded call to 911. The husband, wife and their two children were actually only about 25 or 30 feet into the maze, but they panicked as darkness fell, worried the farm had closed, police said. "We thought this would be fun. Instead it's a nightmare," the woman said in the call. The name of the family was not released. A police canine unit responded and found the family by calling out. The dog on duty, Falco, did not have to track them down, said Danvers police spokesman Sergeant Robert Bettencourt. While people have been known to lose their way in corn mazes, Bettencourt said he did not know of police responding to such a call before. This year's corn maze at Connors Farm is called Salem Village-Headless Horseman and typically takes about 45 minutes or an hour to wander through, said manager Richard Potter. In past years, the corn maze has been crafted in the shape of Clint Eastwood, the Family Guy and a scarecrow. The farm attracts thousands of visitors who traipse through the cornfields each season, Potter said. Potter said staff members had not left the farm when the family called police and knew there were people were in the maze. But he said he did not hear anyone call out for help. "We want to have positive family experiences here," Potter said. "We don't want anybody to go through what they went through." http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/12/us-corn-maze-lost-idUSTRE79B6I320111012
