I think the best route from atlanta to Huntsville is up 75 to Adairsville (Grady could meet you near here), through Summerville, Menlo, Mentone (over lookout mountain), down to Scotsboro. Definitely better for Porsches than 1-20.

Start at: Atlanta, GA
I-75 N toward Adairsville/Summerville - 0.3 mi
Turn left at GA-140 (signs for Adairsville) Continue to follow GA-140 - 16.0 mi
Turn right at US-27 Continue to follow GA-1/US-27 - 13.9 mi (THATS ABOUT 10 NILES NORTH OF ROME GRADY)
Turn left at GA-48 Continue to follow GA-48 Entering Alabama - 12.6 mi
Continue on AL-117 - 10.4 mi
ZIg right at AL-117/AL-7/US-11 - 0.1 mi
Zag left at AL-117/AL-40 Continue to follow AL-40 - 23.9 mi
Turn right at AL-35- 3.4 mi
Turn left onto the ramp to US-72 - 56 fti
Continue on I-565 W - 1.7 mi


Arrive at: Huntsville, AL

I just got the 914 ,I intend to take to H'ville, from the paint shop. The engine has been rebuilt and started on the test stand and Blake just finished a rebuild on the Xmission. I have to put everything back on and install the engine, all the brakes and shocks . This is starting to feel like an episode of "overhaulin" will it be done on time. I'll have to bring the 912E if I can't finish on time.

I would suggest Altanta to Rome , meet up with Grady , then through Scottsboro, AL onto Huntsville.

Good morning, Ramblers!

One restaurant and the banquet folks have asked for a projection on meal choices. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I sent a note out asking for RSVPs and menu choices for a couple of the meals. When you get a chance (read: very soon, please), please reply to that email and let us know what you want to eat! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

I didn't ask for a lot of details on the plates, but I called. I've been eating there for some time and the food is always excellent. They cater some of the very high end weddings in town. Everything on the menu is good.

The triple-salad plate is a choice of three of five different salads (think chicken salad, pasta salad, tuna salad, etc, etc).

The BBQ is beef.

The soup is vegetable beef. If I remember correctly, the sandwich choices include homemade Chicken Salad; Tuna Salad, Turkey, Ham, Club or BLT.

Hope this helps,
Rusty

Talked to Nick, the Manager of the bar at the Marriott- Space and Rocket Center. He can let me hook up a DVD player to watch LeMans, or we could watch the Barret/Jackson auction from Lost Wages...

He's gonna open the joint early on Friday for the Autocross 101 class.

Rusty has made some truly beautiful trophies and awards. I just know its all gonna go by so fast and I'll be lookin' back- but also forward to NEXT YEAR! WHERE WILL IT BE? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

We be Ramblin' soon!

I'm hoping for mid-70s for highs and mid-50s for lows. That would be typical anyway. I usually keep the top off untill mid december...
The leaves are just starting to turn here and should peak in about 10 days.

Edit: Crap, I am a week early. Sorry bout that. Rust on the brain and no cure in sight. Pick it up next week end, Been down on the I40 exit 83 overpass all day waiting to see a 914 that runs well enough to go places outside the city limits..


Nearly midnight, 1st day of the RCR. How bout some feed back on what everyone is doing. Surley even the oldest hasn't hit the sack yet.
Has to be some party animals and news of the trips getting there so sock it to us.

DON'T DO THAT TO ME!! I woke up this morning, checked my emails before I had coffee (and after a late night of a few adult beverages (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) ) and saw the original post... then immediately checked the calendar and website to see if we were missing the weekend!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Jeez.... THAT got me going ....

me too... I'm already two weeks behind on everything dealing with the crashed Subie so everything's a bit of a thrash. The Plan has been to FedEx the painting outta here Monday (Tuesday at the latest) so if it were happening this weekend I'da been screwed on that plan...

Calm(er) now. Busy weekend ahead of me. Rebuild Subie suspension, mow an acre of grass, paint like a man posessed...

Actually, I would if I could, Thanks for the generous offer and encouragement. You have no idea how good you made me feel the moment I saw your post ole Rusty one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The really bad thing is I had sort of planned to sneak in and just watch from a safe distance and actually see some 914's and the people who do these ramble things.
I don't really fit in the same 914 brotherhood per my past experiences with some Ramblers and that is honestly to say because of my own faults and errors.

You wouldn't want to walk a mile in my shoes is the nicest way for me to say it. I didn't ever intend to burn any bridges but some others have so I'll try and do the I40 exit 83 overpass 914 salute if I can calculate the day and time correctly.

Sorry I spooked anyone with the week early error post. Don't forget, I am getting more senile and it is embarrassing to make an error about my favorite interest in life, the 914 and it's people. Extra cup of coffee or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) does wonders.

My Grandson's birthday party falls on the same weekend so now the toast is burned and I can't even do the sneaky old me thing above.
EDIT: He will be 5 and wouldn't understand me not being there on his day.

Well, Mike... we're all friends... and every one of us makes mistakes from time to time - especially me.

At the end of the day, we can all hang out in the parking lot and drink a beer together.

So, if ya want - come on down for a day or an evening. Everyone will be happy to see ya!

Rusty,
I like what you wrote.A good one to remember when I have another chance to visit a ramble. Sometimes the shadows of the past is too well remembered when it isn't the correct answers for the future. How true this quote below is:

Men in rage strike those that wish them best.—Shakespeare.

Like a good lager we all can appreciate, I look forward to the future times for 914 friendship.

Mike
