Cool. We wanted to try that place last time we were up there but it never happened.

We'll be arriving in Bar Harbor Wednesday. Anyone heading up a day early?



Mmmmm... Geddy's Lobstah Pizza!

Here's some info on L.L.Bean

You betcha. I'll pick them up in Southington area and lead them thru Hartford to lunch at Reims and then I'll motor back home. Mart will never know I was gone. Yeah right. She just found the gas receipt when I went to Maison d'MAMA for lunch in Walpole.

Aargh! I'd love to go but it two hours in the wrong direction! Would you be kind enough to bring me a half sour?

'll pick one up Wednesday and throw it in the boot so I won't forget to give it to you when I see you Saturday

You drive a MINI. How can it be in the wrong direction? Heck I drive two hours just to run out of gas. Come on down.

Anyone heading for Bah Hahbah on Thursday and going near Peabody on the way North?

I've got a 10:30 appt. at MOP to have my door lock replaced. Ready probably by noon. I can wait for you, if that helps.

Here they come.

I just saw that the NEMINI group has departed for Bar Harbor. Safe travels.

Just spoke with Paddy as he crossed the Deleware line heading north. Morning traffic in Wilmington.
I called him on the cell and said I was MINIUSA Customer Service hovering overhead in the MINI helicopter. Offered to airdrop coffee and the morning paper if he would pop the sunroof.
"Who is this?" he asked.
I will motor with him for the pass thru CT and have lunch.

Safe travels and Happy Motoring to anyone already hitting the roads.

Motor On!

Oh Peter. Guess what Max has for you. Take good care of my new MINI Mate. See you all Saturday at Loon Land.

Hey Pete I thought of a good piece of advice for you: Just ask yourself "what would Pat do" and you should be fine

Back from MOT. We had an absolute BLAST. And without a doubt Bar Harbor Invasion was tops. Thanks everyone for making it such a great experience. Now to sort through over 3 gigs worth of pics... . . More later..

You know, I never did find my half sour . . .

But, that didn't sour the weekend ~ ouch! sorry . . .

When does coming in fifth mean you're first?

When you're the first one around a curve on a windy road in a national forest after four other MINIs have woken up a sleeping rookie ranger!

At least I didn't get a ticket for removing rocks!

All kidding aside, thanks to Pete and everyone else who helped organize and run the Invasion. Well done!

I'll be back next year. The way I figure it, the sun's gotta be visible at sunrise sooner or later!
