Oops! I caught the "2007" in the heading of the first post in the YC, Boston & A51 MINI2 thread and fixed it, and I went to the MINIS On Top website and set up a new category for 2008's link to the YC/A51 website. Is there text on the actual YC/A51 website that I missed?

hm, good question. Since 3 out of the 4 positions don't require driving, should I add "will train in walking?"

Do you like large animals? Can you flee from rampaging wildlife quickly? Are you a born leader? Have you been on the MINIs On Top Moose Hunt before? Are you still reading these questions?

Well, if you have (a) a pulse, and (2) a driver's license, you may have what it takes to be the Organizer/Leader of the 2008 MINIs On Top Somewhat Annual Moose Hunt! The 2008 MOTSAMH will take place on Friday night (June 27th) leaving the T&C about 6:00 pm to reach the Moose Country by sunset.

There have been no disappointments in Moose Sightings in years past, basically because the organizers paid the Moose bribes to arrive on cue. However, due to the current economic conditions, this year the cost of Moose Bribes has drastically escalated...but not to worry. Ian has assured us the he has an adequate credit limit on his 63 VISA credit cards to, again, come through with spectacular results.

So, if you'd like to take on the Moose Hunt Leadership (with consulting services supplied by The Cod), please post here or PM me, Michael, or Ian.

I'd love to do the MOTSAMH. How much time is there between the arrival of the YC/A51 caravan and departure for the Moose Hunt (Cameras Only Please)? I missed last year's, and a MH(COP) sounds like a blast!

Brian -- It's about 2-hours from Area 51 to Gorham. Leaving A51 at 2:00 will put you at the T&C 4:00-4:30. MH traditionally departs from the T&C at 6:00. Mooses are very prompt.

Does this mean you are in as MH Leader???

Depends on who can keep up! Seriously, give me a route to drive and I can probably stay between the ditches. I would love to attend, but "leadership" is not one of my better qualities. I'm not sure it's one of my lesser qualities. Maybe we can talk off-line about this.

You don't have to lead ... just let everyone else follow; and stop for Moose

The missing link here is that those 63 VISA cards are all MINI Visa cards, all depicting different GBMINIs. We just don't know about the other 57 Ian already went through.

A BIG THANK YOU...

...to all the folks who have volunteered to help out with all the preparations for MOT 2008.

I would also like to announce that we have also found a leader for this year's Moose Hunt: Brian Lalor. Even though he has never seen a moose before, he has stepped up to lead the Hunt. Remember, if it looks like a fat horse with antlers, it's probably a moose...or a politician. Well, ok, perhaps even a deer that has been grazing too close to the Seabrook Power Plant.

If you haven't had a chance to see who's volunteered for what...or if you want to see the Organizational Head and General Volunteer positions still available, you can access the most recent version of the Volunteer List HERE.

Thanks to all! Keep 'em coming!

Theo

This just in...
If you were wondering whether or not to buckle up for safety MoT has enlisted the services of the Dover Police Department to convince you that you should. Officer Meyer will be be in the lot at Loon Mountain with the Seat-Belt Convincer and some waiver of liability forms. Check it out:
