I had a conversation with Doug about that at the party. The major issue with that is he can't just blindly
reuse a route because of the ever-changing road conditions, construction, etc. He would still have to do
a lot of driving and planning to make sure whatever route is being used is a good one.

And a review of Colonia Inn downtown WG if anyone is considering this for next year...
Pros: Price was ok - $125 a night. SUPER convenient near Savards, bar, shopping, etc. Owner has a Civic NGV.
Cons:
Room was small and out of date. The shower was tiny and I can't tell you how many times I bumped the shower temperature control knob and either froze or scalded myself. That alone would be reason enough to skip it next year.
When I got kicked out of the state park on Friday night I could not turn left. They told me to "go up and around"... which I did. When I completed a lap of the old course I then found I could still NOT get to my hotel to park.
I had to park the S in a business lot and leave it for and hour and a half until they opened the road.
When I came back from the party Saturday night there was NO parking in the hotel lot and I again had to park in a nearby lot.
NOT happy about the parking AT ALL.
Since I will own a house in WG by this time next year I am not making any reservations at the moment

May have to settle for a party in an apartment until my S and Fit are paid off 
That's about the amount of "extra debt" which is killing me from getting approved for a house loan.
Good parking is my #1 concern for anywhere I move to, other than of course that they allow my furry kids
7 years in July since my first visit... that was about how long I waited to have an S2000. Co-incidence? I think now

Damn work keeps interfering with my moving plans.
It's official - mailman picked up my 2012 KSRT application and it's on the way to Carole
Maybe I can be her assistant part time once I move

Solo or is Tom committed to moving too? When I was speaking to him, he seemed pretty happy with his position in the mortuary trade. He wasn't making any noises about giving that up for just a lateral move to the Finger Lakes.

At this point that is the big question. This move is the first thing that has truly inspired me to action since my quest began to own an S2000
It's been a long time since I had a purpose in life
