Jerry, it is an area we'd like to see, BUT isn't it a rather congested area such as Cape Cod can be, especially on a holiday weekend? Would it be hard to find accomodations and move about as a group?

 

Lainey,

Cape May is not congested in October. I know a charming B & B in SeaGirt that would welcome us. I'd be glad to work with Jerry (and whoever else) on an October New Jersey meet.

 

Yes, they do have a hotel on site. Danville is located on Rt. 29 and is 60 miles south of me. Charlottesville is 60 miles north of me on Rt. 29 -- I'm right in the center. Danville has a Best Western, Holiday Inn Express, Comfort Inn, Courtyard by Marriott, Days Inn, Innkeeper (two of them) and a Sleep Inn among other smaller local owned places. I go down for lunch every now and then and meet some friends who drive up from NC. Its not one of my favorite places, but it has grown a great deal in the past few years and the track apparently has undergone major changes. I have no interest in a meet in Danville nor do I care whether its a track/type event. I mentioned it and e-mailed them only because I know so many folks are into that kind of thing. Danville does NOT have interstate access and if memory serves the closest interstate is probably in Greensboro NC which is about 50 miles from Danville to the south.

 

For what it is worth from a weather stand point. Geoghapically Cape May is much further south than it sounds. Here is a good sucker "bar bet". Cape May is farther south in latitude than the northern most tip of the District of Columbia.

 

Its 370 miles from me, estimated to be a 7 hour drive per Mapquest. I'm bowing out, but think its a great idea. Go for it.

 

Per Mapquest: Cape May is only 460 miles and about an 8 hr drive for us. Levi

 

Cape May is South of the Mason Dixon Line.

 

A charming B & B? Just tell me I don't have to share a bathroom with anyone but Rick and it just might work for us too.

 

The Mason-Dixon Line is on the border of Pennsylvania/Maryland. To cross the Mason-Dixon you'd need to come south quite a bit further than NEW JERSEY. Note the following from the Columbia University Press Encyclopedia:
"Mason-Dixon Line, boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland (running between lat. 39

 

Sorry Jim. I think you had the last word at WG, so I had to get one last jab in. You know it's done out of love .

Anyways, I'm up for anywhere up to, say, 9 hours away from me. But couldn't we figure out a semi-central point for everybody involved? (except for Patty, of course ) We need an official Vint map with everyone on it. Who's the map wizard here?
