I'm excited. Still not sure about my co-driver. And I think a little snow would be fun, long as I don't drive like block did at wales rally practice when slushy watery mud caused him to roll off a corner.

 
Not sure of my co-driver situation either at the moment.

Also, I was going to spend Sunday night in Orono with friends, but I have to be up at 7 Monday morning for work.... And I live over 2 hours away.

I cant make it folks. We'll be doing Franksgiving and my son's birthday all weekend in sunny LA--Lubec America.

 
I picked up some radios today. Cobra CXT175's.

Read the reviews on the Walmart website first, and it looks like the only problem with these is the rechargeable batteries that come with it.

So I am just using regular AAA batteries for it.

 
just got in from checking and rechecking the route book one more time, painting the BIG rocks blaze orange, still have lots of rocks left to paint.

made some new notes to add to the book, and adjusted a lot of notes already in the book... this route is going to be a BLAST to drive.

we plan on leaving the milford at 10, but PLEASE be there by like 9:30 at the latest, there will be a drivers meeting to go over a few things before we get going.

leaving at 10am, will give us an estimated return time of about 5:30ish... which is in the dark. the last leg will be in the dark, for those who are not comfortable with this, there will be quick instructions on how to get from the end of one leg back to the highway so you can head south from there. but the last leg WILL BE IN THE DARK...

 
Man, I wanna go but I have not been able to convince any of my friends to go. I have one friend who never drives the group drives with us in Rangeley because hes from there and says "Why would I want to drive the roads I drive every day with a bunch of other cars in my way?" Then I brought up this drive and he was interested until he found out we have to drive to bangor before we can even start. Can't please everyone I suppose. Then RangeleyRallyDG said he wouldn't be able to make it to a drive that far removed from our normal stomping grounds either. So basically basically I have 2 friends, 1 that wants to go but can't make it and one that can make it but doesn't want to go to anything that far from Kingfield where he lives. I guess Im not gonna make it guys.

drive up yourself...even if you dont use your car...people are looking for codrivers...My brother is still looking for one...want a fun ride, hop in there with him,

 
Oh, and I spent two hours tearing my camera down and fixing it today. So I'll probably have it dash mounted so I can easily snap a pic or take vids or whatever with just an easy push of a button.

 
I don't think I am going to make it. my suby turned into an abyss for a short time.. back to normal, but had to cut back on the other stuff I wanted to do before I went.

I am literally checking with someone and borrowing their credit plan (not my own) to get some new tread going...it has gone mission critical, weeble wobbling around as of this moment...no fun for me.

it is sonding and acting quite lively with new belt and iridiums (big deal for the old ea82).. this would be fun.

As it sits now, I'm not sure if I have a co-driver. So if it ends up 3 to a car someone is welcomed to ride shotgun with me.

My car isn't fast, but I like to have fun in it!!
