It will be a great drive.
You talking to me? I don't want to miss the scenery but I think Ricky and I will try to join the slower group with a rental.

It was my pleasure and quite a relief that I was in your right seat, not trying to keep up in our Honda Fit, as I visited with my Mother last week and the weather on the East Coast has been so screwy, so I was not in my S.

I think that I should apply for a Federal Grant to study the why the right (+1) seat goes around turns faster than the left (driver's seat).

I hope that you found the notes that I took about what landmarks to watch out for for the drive notes helpful?

I think that everyone will enjoy this drive. Thanks again for mapping it out.

Here is a preview of one of the roads we will be taking: http://www.twistypedia.com/roads/usa...nia/route-125/
When you click on the Google Map Link in the article, note that we will not be going the whole length, only from Shamokin to Good Spring, and in my opinion, this is the best part of this road.

Yep, it's working. I know which way I'm going to Shamokin Dam next time. I'm taking I-81 to 209 east to Trenton and Rt 125 north to Shamokin.

Got rid of the Accord and now just have a Ridgeline. Tailgunning a drive group, or even being in one is kind of out of the question now. I did it in Cape May in '09 in the old Ridgie and felt silly the whole time. I make a horrible passenger but could possibly muster up the courage to be someone's +1 on the drive...maybe

Ken, is there a master list of attendees yet? I didn't see one anywhere.

You know we don't care what you show up in. We are just glad you are joining us.

PS. Don't forget the beer.
