there is time to see what might be better .but for the last 10 years it has been on this date with a wash out only once ''' give me a call I will send you a T-shirt

yes Russ i know last year is the only year i have missed ad i hated it but to drive 500mile and run in the cold and rain we just could not do it , i look forward to doing your run every year i just wonder if you backed it up a month if you would get even better turn out , which means more toys for the children in the end

I agree with Mike. There were a number of us coming from SC last year, but 400 miles to boat in 50 degrees and rain changed all our minds. Our boating season usually ends by the end of October in SC and everyone is hyped about coming to good weather to get one more ride for the year.
