A good time was had by all. The weather was nice the first half of the day, but didn't cooperate toward the end. That didn't dampen our spirits any.

all of my pics here http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i290/klafortune/Fall Meet 07/?start=all
(crappy camera, so wait for pics to be posted by the others)

Meet up to start the day (and get picnic food):

After that, we cruised into Burlington and got some grub.
:cool:
 
I was taking a picture of our elevation per the map software on my laptop.
(cropped it now so you don't see the stupid Dell logo)

Put this is the upcoming 2008 calender, who needs a contour in the pic:shrug: I'd really like to do this tour with you guys, maybe in a couple years...or sooner!
 
My camera can't take calendar-worthy pics. The resolution isn't high enough.

NE's fall meet takes place in a different location every year, so it's never the same cruise twice. (not yet anyway!)
Most likely it'll be another MA or CT one next year since the majority of our active membership seem to be in Western MA and CT.
I've been thinking up some ideas for activities I'd like to do next year, but I need to research if they're doable.
 
here are some of my selected pics, I'll look at others and Jess' in the morning for any more that I would like to post

that's why sometimes you gotta take a drive.
Brapple drove 3+ hours to make it up to the meet.

Yeah, as did I. Tank and a half of gas, but totally worth it!

Here's some of my better pics (sorry, no digi, just cell phone)

LOLZORZ!
 
heh .. good pic of the 3 different front license plate options :)

The CSVT is wicked fun to drive! I got new tires a few weeks ago and am amazed at the difference in grip, especially on those crazy mountain twisties.

My gf thought we were going to die or something running around those corners. You guys gotta remember I've got crappy GL suspension and steelies :laugh: . All I could hear was the squealing of my tires, it was AMAZING!
