...submitted for your consideration:

Mike and I enjoyed a nice drive yesterday trying to map out a great route and activities/eats along the way.
Here's a rough agenda. Feel free to post up feedback.
This year is going to be a hike for some people, but hey, it's all about the cars, so why not have a bunch of driving.

October 16th, Saturday
10:00 meet up off I-93 North shortly after Hooksett tolls (75 cents) at the NH State Liquor store rest stop.
10:30 gather up and head north on 93 toward exit 24 Holderness
11:00ish arrive at exit 24. Short stint through main street, left onto Rt 113 - where the twisties and hills begin!
12:00ish Hour of twisties ends, arrive in Conway area. Stop at Mobil station to park and eat lunch. Subway located adjacent to Mobil. McD's up the road a bit as well.
1:00ish gather up and prepare for cruise on the Kancamagus Rt 112.
2:00ish arrive at end of scenic drive in Lincoln. Keep on 112 and head to Lost River for some cave exploration and all around goofing off.
4:00ish head back to Lincoln for some drinks and eats at the Common Man restaurantscroll down for Lincoln location
??:00 head home happy. For reference, the drive south from Lincoln to Manchester is about an hour.

Like I said, lots of driving, but the view is spectacular. Definitely worth it. The cars will love the fresh cool air.
I believe we put around 230 miles on the GL yesterday while plotting things out.

well we get out like at what, 5ish. I dunno how far away you live from NH but I belive its still daylight at 5. Its up to you though, I wouldn't want to drive that long either, especially if ones comming alone. I'll prolly bring my friends.

Nice job Kim. There's a chance my golf 4 ball tournament will be cancelled due to lack of interest. If that's the case, I'll be joining you folks.

d'oh!

we did see one cop perched early on the kanc, but that was the only cop we saw all day.
I'm sure there will be enough tourist activity to slow us to the proper speed limit that day, at least on 112. 113 is where the fun is going to be. wee!

Brian, mi casa is uh your house and stuff.
We were pretty sure you'd stay the weekend.

We have more sleep space for more travelers if needed.
Hell we had a guy sleeping on a mattress on our kitchen floor the night of Mike's bachelor party, so there's plenty of room. lol

I'd also like to just make a note that that is a very rough agenda.
We all know how we can get when it comes to stops and standing around outside of the cars chatting.
So obviously things are going to be more leisurely and less structured than the above.
