Default Gauging interest in backroads tour

I've been tossing the idea around for a while about getting a small group of S2K owners together and hitting some backroads. They're roads my job has me driving on frequently around Jackson and Thomasville, AL. It's about 1 hr north on Hwy.43 from I-65 Exit 19 to Jackson and 1.5 hrs to T-Ville.
This will be a "spirited" run through the country, but by no means reckless.
Even though there's little law enforcement presence in these areas, we need to be safe and not put ourselves and others in danger. A group of sportscars running around these areas will already be freaking the locals out a little anyway.
I've participated in road tours in Kentucky with the Z06vette dot com bunch for many years, but have never organized one.
I'll need to pick a flowing route, break area(s) and make sure everyone has maps in case we get seperated. All involved will need to exchange cell phone #s. At least one pair of radios will be needed too since cell coverage is non-existent on parts of these roads.
We will need to meet around 8AM on a Saturday or Sunday morning. I'm thinking we should be finished after lunch. Date TBD.
Anybody interested?

Thanks,
Dan

That would probably be too far to drive just to drive some more. I fixed the title to target the Mobile area owners although anybody is welcome. The roads are pretty entertaining. Nothing like the ones in N.C., but lots of curves and elevation changes. The meet up can be later in the morning if people from farther areas want to partcipate.

Yeah about 2 hrs to the exit. We can make one of the gas stations at Exit 19 the meeting place.
