1st Annual MIFC Fall "Color Tour" Planning Thread

[MikeM]

I agree, one-day trip . . . I would personally enjoy an overnighter but I think many people would have trouble with work schedules, babysitting kids, etc. Maybe next year we do the two-day trip.

Ben's route sounds good, and with a bit of planning, we should be able to do 144 miles in one day without breaking a sweat.

I like it! Maybe a lighthouse photo op would be more reliable than trying to find fall colors, too!

Definitely interested in this, I've planned a couple of these up more north towards Traverse City and haven't become quite familiar with the area down here yet. I think we would definitely get better attendance from a 1 day trip though, not an overnighter. Hopefully once the date is set I can get it off work.

Date is September 30th. Get the day off, we'd love to see you there!

I'd be glad to ride along with you Nick to help plan the route.

I like the route Ben posted, maybe we could base our route along using his as a starting point. I'm going to get the 2nd of September off to run through the route, if you are free, we'll hook up somewhere and run the route through to choose stop points and get an idea for our schedule for the day. This way we will be familiar with the route, and one of us can lead the pack, one can bring up the rear, and keep people together.

2nd of September is a Sunday; we have a Labor Day party at a friend's house that day. Monday (Labor Day) is also no good, b-cuz my wife has to work. I could do Saturday the 1st, though.

I can also ride along on any day, if you want. That way we can co-ordinate some of the other issues with food, locations, etc.

I already put in for the 2nd off work, I figured we should do it on the same day of the week to mimic traffic patterns the day of the event. Sorry you can't make it, hopefully you can make it on the 30th.

I'll give you a call to figure out where and when you want to meet up. I'll be driving the bird, so as long as that doesn't pose a problem, we should be fine. Lol

Sorry guy's I won't be able to attend... I will be going to the U.P. to see my son at NMU. Hope you all have a great time.

Nah, no problem. It will give me an opportunity to evaluate your dash lights.

I'm sure you'll probably be taking some pieces with you. . . Lol

No prob, I will definitely be there on the 30th.

September 30 happens to be the day after my niece's wedding, so all bets are off as to whether I will be in any condition to color tour -- I sure hope I won't be taking the technicolor tour while driving the porcelain Buick...
