IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT BAIR'S TRIP:
- If you plan on buying parts at Bairs, please do a pre order. This way it doesn't tie up his guys which will in turn will delay us.
- If you have a tech question you want to ask for the 1 Hour Q&A session please PM your question(s) to me. I will pick approx. 10 questions and we can have the Tech answer them in a reasonable amount of time. If time allows we can ask more questions.
** Sun. July 12 **
- Farewell/Goodbye Breakfast @ Country Inn.
For those who are planning on hanging out with Passports or Enhanced Drivers License and want to go to Canada we can take a ride over to Canada. I will figure out some things in the meantime to go do and see over there.
Let's get this party started!
If you plan on attending, please let us know here.
Let us know how many and if you have a Passport or Enhanced Drivers license.
(Just type PP for Passport or EDL for Enhanced Drivers License.)
****Important notes****
Please make sure that over the next several months to go through your vehicles that you will be driving here.
Check...Tires, belts, hoses etc…This preventative measure will hopefully help make your trip enjoyable.
NOW, if you do break down, I had have access to a car hauling trailer but my friend just sold it.
We may have to borrow one from someone. BUT! I have access to a shop where we can make minor repairs. Any major stuff like engine or transmission failure, we'll figure that out. But lets hope for none of that.
One last thing...it you have a GPS unit, bring it. I will have paper maps for each venue for a backup incase we get separated or you want to venture on your own.
Thank you!
