Geez, you're all leaving pretty early.
Booze, I'll prepare you a bed for you and Snow, I'll get some condoms and Vaseline and leave it on the bed for you guys.

Dammit.
Got rear-ended and the back doesn't look very purdy.
Oh well, Jerry, no pictures of the back end!

Re: Canadian Thanksgiving/Columbus Day Long Weekend Mini Mee
Why do all of our cars have some sort of affliction immediately before this meet?

I've remedied the back bumper to the point where it shouldn't be super-noticeable in pictures.
Oh wait, they're not going to see this...
Jerry is 25 miles outside Columbus so that means about 45 minutes from me.
Booze, his ETA is 11am.

Re: Canadian Thanksgiving/Columbus Day Long Weekend Mini Mee
Everyone's knocked out this morning. No alcohol was consumed although I told them that they could buy booze if they wanted while we was in town, they didn't.
We got some awesome shots last night until we got told to leave the building. We tried some videos but didn't work since there was an enomorous amount of traffic in the hills. I should have predicted that but at least it was a pretty drive.
We'll be attempting motion shots today and I'm not sure what else too.

Re: Canadian Thanksgiving/Columbus Day Long Weekend Mini Mee
Pulled into my driveway at 10:30. We left INTENSE around 2. Factor in border and rest stops and that's not too bad. My GPS took me home through Toledo and to the border crossing in Detroit!
I bought a FWI

Re: Canadian Thanksgiving/Columbus Day Long Weekend Mini Mee
We got back to Williamsburg around 11:45, but since some friends were having a bonfire we stopped there for a bit, I got home around 1am.
Not sure why the Garmin took us back a different way than we came out...I didn't change any settings.
But thank you Cody for hosting and trying to get us killed!

Re: Canadian Thanksgiving/Columbus Day Long Weekend Mini Mee
Yeah same. That Toledo/Detroit route was entirely different from the Niagara Falls/Buffalo/Cleveland route on the way down.
