Every year, I miss half of what's going on, and so do most of the newbies. The info is too spread about. So...

This one post up top in one thread will include all drives, drinks, bonfires, cabin parties, meets, dinners, tech days, breakfasts, all of it...

I think we can have a packed timeline. So if you have an exact time of your drive, dinner, breakfast, whatever, please post what it is and the time and day. I will add it all to this top post in chronological order.

PLEASE post what you know. Ken & other Moderators feel free to add items to this post with what you know. I will add all posts to the timeline as things get posted.

****NOTE ON DRIVES****Times listed are DEPARTURE TIMES. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to organize linup, designate tailgunner, set radios, and allow timely departure.

Great idea Bill.

long overdue.

If you have a convoy coming down, please post your ETA to Fontana and I will add it also.

This will make for a nice print and carry piece, and keep everyone busy.

Maybe the entire thing can be printed and added to the welcome packet.

Billman250

Added.

I'd edit title but don't have permission. Maybe mods can step in.


Edited to add: Billman, use Advanced Editor and you can edit the Topic Title.

Thank you for doing this, Bill! Puts everything in perspective. This newbie truly appreciates the effort.

All drive times are departure times, please arrive 10-15 min early to set up the drive and be under way on time.

Drive leaders, check the departure times for accuracy. Also post your starting point if I don't have it listed.

Habitforming

Time to take it to the next level and hotlink to each drive's thread

Lovetodrive2000

Agenda should be out soon and will have this information, plus a little more about what is going on for the weekend.

I have come across a few time discrepancies while looking around. Please everyone have a look and advise.
