Less than a month now!
Have my route all marked. I start out on the trek to WG on Monday, June 5th.

Jim!We took step one and I reserved a room outside of the Albany area for Thursday evening. We'll get about 3 1/2 hours on the road on Thursday after work.
We'll only have about a 4 hour ride on Friday, and we'll have some time to socialize or take in the sights for a bit.
I can't imagine doing all the driving/riding you do! Glad you're doing it!

Lainey, maybe I do have more time, especially in the summer. 
I really enjoy days-long travel in this car. I have always preferred a firm European suspension, even on family vehicles; so the S suits me just fine. I don't always stay on the interstates, so I find twisties wherever I go. This year the SF trip is special for me anyway, because it is in upstate NY.

Lainey, remember when I posted the mapquest mileage to convnince you to come to The Glen
(I don't remember but that's OK) 
We had such a good time at SF05, glad SF06 is a "do-able distance" and that we can attend.
