I think a Sunrise and Sunset tour would be a HOOT

2. MOT 6/2004 The Sunrise Sunset Tour. MINIs greet the sunrise at Acadia on the coast in Maine and then rally west across Maine to New Hampshire where they watch the sunset from Mount Washington.

Lets do that....

Then we can blow across RT.2 to New Hamshire.

We could call it MOTzas -- MINIs on Top, Zoom After Sunrise

The MOTza Ball Rally

[bakerjc]

That's the name you gotta go with.....

The "MOTza Ball".

It'll carry the grand history of the first, with the elegance of a dance across states.

Not to mention a little head scratching of people we run into.

Contest prize for the best Chicken Soup?

I'm looking for Bob, the friend of "Acetonic," who was so gracious to me, but then I got separated from the throng! Bob, check my profile and get in touch, OK? I'd like to maintain some lines of communication! I wasn't blowing you off, believe me! Jim

The MOTza Ball Ralley gets my vote!
Steve- Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help with the planning of this Ralley. I wouldn't want you to start having nightmares regarding this Ralley already!
Thanks again for your part in organizing the MOT 2003, it was a blast!!!

[teridrag]

Yeah ... MOTza balls from Cadillac to Washington ... cool.
Wonder if there's a good spot near Cadillac for some car camping the night before?

You guys just don't learn, do you. He is leading us down the proverbial road to perdition. Not sure I could keep this nastiness up for a year.

If we can keep at least part in NH, the Gov. will come through again. My only disappointment was that not one press release was responded to, 2 sponsors who said they would donate stuff failed to, and I never got any response from MINIUSA marketing in Westwood, NJ (heard they were at Watkins Glen but they shoulda known better). My next career is not in PR!!

If Doug at Turner is planning a Rt 1 Maine coast this fall, then next year, ME to NH via Rt2 (an inland route) might be the way to do it.

Cheers all

Count Louis and I in for the MOTza ball rally. We are probably going to take 4-5 days off for this one drinking all that way in a weekend was killer!

[MEmini]

I love you all !!! At last , I have found people as insane as I am.....

Some Info:

In a few weeks, I will go down to Acadia and meet with the Park Supt. and find out what is happening there. Because we are dealing with a National Park rather than a private corporation, things may be different.....times are tough though and $$$ may talk. There is also a group "Friends of Acadia" that I will contact.....will let you know.....

It took me about 3 hours to drive from Bangor, Maine to Gorham, NH---speed limit (really!) through the small towns in Maine,so we would need to add about 1 1/2 hours to that totaling 4 1/2. That would get us into Gorham early afternoon to sleep until evening.....Not impossible......at least for us crazies....People could opt for either, or both depending on what time they could allow....

[MEmini]

The biggest complaint I heard was that some folks find it confusing to read through these organizing threads...and loose track of what is happening.....perhaps it could be arranged to have a monthly update summary posted separately....in order of the newest last. or delete the old ones somehow. Someone not involved in the organizing could read all, make notes, get what they think is happening approved and then post that. Perhaps we lost folks who wanted to come because they couldn't figure out what was happening.....

Finally, if I am an official member of the "4:30 Mainiacs" am I a MAINiac Mainiac?

Oh, what then happens to the speed run? Sunday??

Is there a story we don't know about?

[bethandlouis]

I wish there was a story, the force has not yet caught up with my typing skills. I am still very tired and do not want to go to work(s). Do you think that this event will (hopefully) go off around the same time?
I hope the first aid kit came i handy it has just about everything you would need, road rash really sucks!
