I need to do one more scouting trip but just on the last half of the route.  Anyone have any preference as to when to do it?  It will have to be in July or August but not the first weekend of July. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

July looks open on my calendar. Any weekend at this point.

I'm having a medical procedure done on July 1, but if I'm able to, how about July 6?  If not, then we can move it to the 20th.

The 6th should be OK. Sooner is better, in case there's another dirt road. ;)

I've checked this one out pretty good.  It's paved.  Not up on the mountains like the other one, but it has lots of lefts and rights that can be taken at some reasonable speed.  If it turns out to not be suitable, we may have to do some continued scouting on the same day.  Not sure I can afford to go back a third time.

We need more people to go along as backup support on the route.  Just having 2 people, or 1 if something happens that one of us can't make the final run could throw things in big disarray.  Even though I laid out the original, you see how many times we had to backtrack to get us back on the right track. 

Hopefully, I've made the revised route sheet clearer, but I've noticed that many people don't even look at the route sheet and just follow the car ahead of them.  One of the things that is going to be confusing is that we are off and on Hwy US 19 and NC 226 and 226A so many times, and the screwy signs like US 19E North or US 19E South.

July 6 would be doable for me, I will be in Florida on the 20th. Unless I am redoing the bedroom that weekend.

It is raining, here.  This is an excellent time to work on the bedroom.

I guess they're saving themselves for the actual run in September.

No.  They cover The Dragon but on #22 we also encountered them on The Cherohala Skyway as well as some of the others.

A reminder that we will be doing the final documentation run for this year's RFTH on July 6.  This Saturday. 

We will meet and pull out of the RaceTrac gas station at 5901 GA-53, Braselton, GA 30517, Exit 129 of I-85.  It's on the North side of I-85 headed toward Gainesville. 

We will depart by 8AM.  If you plan to join us, let me know so we don't leave without you. 

If you have an FRS radio, bring it along for car to car communication.
