IndiCooper Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Everybody needs to make sure they also RSVP with Daniel at MoCo daniel.rodriguez@passportauto.com
carman63 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 I might join up just to see y'all off at the ferry. Of course, having a VW along might drop the value of your MINIs
nharrison21 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Posted September 14, 2012 Just a heads up to all..I changed the meeting location to the Petco/Home Depot Parking lot across the street from the Outlet mall...The Light coming out of the Mall is quite quick and dont want to cut the group in half from the start... ________________________________________________________________ [sIGPIC]http://www.motoringalliance.com/gallery/data/500/nh21003.jpg[/sIGPIC] 2004 MC JB/W CVT DSC H/K R50 "Operation De-Chrome" 90% Complete
cmcveay Posted September 14, 2012 Report Posted September 14, 2012 I'm hoping everyone going to the picnic has RSVP'd. I swapped a couple of emails with them this morning and they are at their limit so we don't want to roll in with an "overload".

That will give you time to get to the ferry, cross over, meet up with the Marylanders, and drive the direct route or twisty, hilly, country roads of western MoCo to the park... only ~3 miles longer than the direct route. I'm still working out the bugs with Michael but here is a PROPOSED slightly longer but more fun route from the ferry to the park: (23.0 miles from the ferry to the park.)

Bert Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 Here is a map of Seneca Creek State Park. The Park entrance is from Clopper Rd and the picnic pavilion (the Buck Pavilion) is into the park some ways. http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/central/senecamap.asp Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street

Brian0758 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Will probably skip the run and go directly to the park. I am still to low to chance getting on the ferry and to cheap to spend the $5 2012 Jeep Rubicon
