Run For The Hills 17 Scouting Run (s)

[TopNotch]

It's estimated to be +/- 200 miles.  I'd like to leave Franklin around 8.  By doing that, we can stop at more of the scenic overlooks.

Leave Franklin at 8, or leave Oakwood at 8?
If I go, I'll have to take the red car (86 SE automatic). I need to do the brakes on the yellow car.

Leave Franklin.  If everyone wants to wait until 9, that's good with me.  Just depends on whether everyone had rather get up an hour earlier or get home an hour later.

Killboy.com photos of the June 23 trip on The Dragon can be seen here June 23, Cars and Trucks 2-4 PM on page 21 as we went north  http://www.photoreflect.com/store/ThumbPage.aspx?e=8540185&g=04RK01P501

and on Page 23 as we came back south.   

US129Photos.com has us under June 23 Cars (b) 1-7 on Page 41 on the northbound pass and I didn't look for the southbound pass, which would be on a later page if you want to look for them..    http://www.photoreflect.com/store/ThumbPage.aspx?e=8566927&g=0QAK017D01

Unfortunately I think I am going to have to skip this one.  Too many things working against me this weekend.

[Spartanzz]

will this be the last dry run before the the real run?

[Fierofool]

It's the last one I have planned with a group.  I may go back and try to do a final documentation run to put in some mileage and landmark info, but it won't be with a group of cars. 

[Spartanzz]

well if you need a partner to keep you company on that run i can try to go

[Fierofool]

Well, looks like I'm the only one going.  Anyone want to ride in the passenger seat?  Since no one else is going, I'll be leaving the QT in Oakwood/Gainesville no later than 9 AM.

i was originally planning to go, but a bad ignition coil says otherwise. i will have to get a new one in the morning, and by the time advance opens, you will be more than half way there.

Charlie, I should have taken the day off work and went with you.  I got hit by a Club Car Carryall at work today and slammed into  a corner of a wall.  I ended up in the hospital where they took xrays and found nothing broken, just contusions and deep tissue bleeding in back of rib cage and hip area on the left side.
I am in pain today and will probably be in more pain tomorrow and the next few days.

OUCH!!!

Here's to a speedy recovery Harry.

[Fierofool]

Wow!.  Sounds like someone was running a little fast.  By Club Car, you mean the golf cart or parking lot shuttle type?  From my time spent on golf courses, I know they can move along pretty quickly.  Glad you're at least mostly OK with nothing broken. 

I may do another trip on the 21st if you want to tag along at that time.

Harry,
With Karin gone, is there anything you need?
Can you get around OK?
Let us know if you need anything
 
\D

[HarryT]

Charlie;  The Carry All is an overgrown golf cart, gasoline powered with a tall enclosed box on the back to haul all there stuff and yes they do tend to drive them to fast in unsafe areas.
Don and Anne;  I can get around OK, just in pain.   My son said he would come up if I needed him but I told him I would be fine.  Thanks for the concern.

Saturday, July 21 will be a trial run of the complete course for this year's RFTH. 

I'll be leaving the QT in Oakwood/Gainesville, I-985 Exit 16 at 9 AM.  If you want to go along, get there in time to get gassed up and pull out with me.
