| Just a thought............the first restaurant where I sent a bottle of wine back for being corked was...The Abbey in Atlanta. 1970, I think. David, is there a tentative route map you can post, have I missed it here, do maps go that far N? If the Lord Winslow is in, I'm in.  Lawdy, Lawdy, the Cross I bear.  |

| I haven't had a chance yet to contact the towns in Canada, been busy with some fall out from Germany last week. Good news is I have been reunited with my luggage, British Airways finally got it to me. Next week I will start to get information processed and pass it along.

| YES! I'm in! Hudson Bay one weekend and San Diego the next! Life will be good! Any other NH or ME drivers? Albany's not on the way for us but VT Rt 9 more than makes up for the trouble with all its twisties and hill climbs. Play On!   |

| On a whim, looked up studded tire laws for Canada and, if you gottem, I think you are OK unless you go into Ontario where, I believe, they are banned. Lawdy, Lawdy, the Cross I bear. |

| My tires have the holes. Can they be inserted? |

| Resisting resisting resisting....phew, that was close! Yes, a good tire store will insert studs into any tire with holes. You should be able to choose stud length as well. For Rockland/Dutchess, you do not need longest studs unless you get an awful lot of icing. Ask the guys at the store. The NH Studs  Lawdy, Lawdy, the Cross I bear. |

| If it is that bad out, I don't go out... I am just going to get a set of new winter tires, non-runflats. I will also get a spare tire as well, just in case. Winslow 2008 R56 Cooper - Pepper White with Black roof -- "Oliver" |

| John, I knew patience was supposed to be a virtue, but restraint?? Anyway, back to tires...does anyone know a trusting soul near the start of this run who might be interested in renting a set of snows on rims for that weekend? I really don't care if they have holes... |

| I was thinking about the wire chains, with my snows. I imagine however that snows or not these would probably react about the same performance wise However, I have read that speed should be kept to 30 mph or so. This is a 600 km road and at that speed it's a 10 hr trip of just driving. Are snows and/or studded snows any faster? |
