2012 North East FJ rally

[CanDman]

Sooooooooooo, Mr K, how long have you been out of the hospital, 1-2 days?  Or perhaps you're still IN the hospital.  Either way, you're back on the way to reclaiming your title of "The single most offensive individual I have experienced on the web."

It's my mate ED!
Hullo Ed!
I'm at home matey, it's beaut.
We should go crash that north east rally, I like the lobsters over there, we can rent a Harley each,go to a country club, wear Bermuda shorts and fedoras, hang out in a lounge bar.
See, we can do that as we are men of style and class.

Uhhh Ohhhhh........maybe I shouldn't have suggested the gift exchanging thing.........I think Klavdy's planning show up.......and bring some Sheilas with him.................... depends how classy he is I guess ............

First route suggestion for the Canucks, this is the speed route, should get us there in the least amount of time.  By avoiding the ferries in Kingston we can avoid having to wait for the first one at 8am and get an earlier start if we want, we also avoid the ferry at Lake Champlain. This route also takes the Interstates where possible to minimize traveling time.  This is just a suggestion, if anyone wants to detour for scenery or has any other suggestions speak up.  The ride there last year taking the scenic route was great but by the time we got there I was more than ready.  We see so much great scenery on Sat & Sun that I'm willing to save 2 hours on a direct route there.  Bob & Paul please weigh in one this.

That looks doable with a couple of coffee stops. I like the look of the squiggly purple line.

I'm for a bit quicker route this year .... the ferries added alot of time...
That route is close to our return route last year, eh Dan? I wonder how that Hwy 15 (from hwy 104 down to #2) is doing... it had alot of construction last year....
Hopefully Mike and Doug will join in like last year...Mike could just skip north a bit and hook up , and we will still go right by Cabot to pick up Doug.
Maybe they would know what kind of shape hwy 15 is in, or if there are better/faster backroads.

BTW, if we do run out of space at your place Dan, my place is available here too...just so everyone knows I'm only 25 mins away from Dan's in kingston; so space wont be a problem for a stop over before crossing the border. Its just here if we need it...

If Chris does make the rally he should join in the posse.  And there is a flying J on the 401 at Napanee... If the posse could swing in there when passing by, I could hook up for the last bit into Dan's place.

Also, If Chris(Toronto area) and Eager Beaver (N.S.) make it, there will be 3 (including Kevin's) freshly restored red and whites!!! That's cool!

Right on, Chris. Very doable!! Many stops, nice views, etc.

That's the route I took to get home last year. Not as nice, but more practical.
I remember is as a crazy hot ride.  I dumped a bottle of cold water inside my 'stich at each stop.
But I made it all the way home to Whitby in a reasonable time.

[Rowdy]

Yeah!
Go to the local pub, get on the piss, pick up chicks, that's the spirit.

Klavdy you are a trip dude! Just my kinda gal's, (hope none are your sisters) Wild, Sloberin' drunk, and shouldn't remember to much the next mornin'
Makes me drool just thinkin' about it. Interestin' conversation around the camp fire, and in those prom dresses would make for an interestin' photo the next morning climbin' out of the tent!
