Hey guys, another subforum here. This one is designated to making up the route. I want something that will take most of the day. 150-200 miles or so. We would need a lunch stop on the way, where we could stop for a few hours or so, and set up the cars for a photo shoot. This forum is pretty much directed to Jake Raby, and Jason (D1A3). I have not been to the area in a few years, so I dont know the roads very well. Thanks, Barry Fuller

Gauging the drive times, I'm thinking we eat lunch somehwere close to Deal's Gap. There should be a LOT of people up that way on Saturday and great views. So plenty for us to see and visit. I'm asking around if anyone knwos a specific spot, but nothing yet.
Does your dad's email have the same problems with attachment s yours is having? I can send you the PDF to his account. --Jason |

All,
Below is a high level overview of the route that we are currently working with. Feedback is welcome from anyone and I'd like to freeze the route by September 1st in order to secure printing of the SEC 2006 Programs. If you are interested in more detailed directions, please PM or email me with your email address.  --Jason |

That is great Jason, go ahead and freeze it. We will need to have the picture of the map, and we will need written directions of it too.
