NELRC Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - Maine North Woods - 6/22/13-6/25/13

is anybody bringing a chain saw? mines in the shop, and I'm not sure if I'll have it back by Thurs.

I'm heading up to my parents on Sunday, I'll check and see if my dad's is in working order.

Hey Ed let me know how you make out so I know weather or not to pick up your sorry ass lol.

Steve would like me to let every one know he has an 18" Welsh made chainsaw packed for the trip

Well after 5 attempts.......the forum has let me register! This must be a VERY exclusive group!

Looking forward to next week.
Loaded up and ready. Just need to pick up beer!

Will probably meet up with everyone at the Walmart (Newport/Palmyra, ME) Saturday AM. 

As Ed mentioned, I have a 18" chain saw loaded up.

Anyone else running diesel?......the ultimate bug repellant!

Cheers
Steve

Looks like weather will be perfect. High 70's during the day, 60's in the evening. Sun/clouds.

I'm ready.......picked up a bug zapper from Harbor Freight....best $1.99 spent!

Cheers

Fn usual people are packed and ready and I'm midway through a TC swap 

I just got back from an insane motorcross ride in Canada and I am beat. I am seeing how my week/weekend looks and see if I can still make it. No plans yet.

ordered a new water pump for the rangie and a new thermostat and set of hoses. The rad has to be either rodded or replaced. at least there are no new HG's in my NEAR future. Not sure it will be ready in time but if it's not i'm still riding bitch with kevin.

Yep.....it's an official Land Rover event!!!!

Lol so true

That's cool just let me know, although if you rip ass you're riding on the roof rack.

I'll be sure to pack mine

Brian, Kevin, Jarek, Dan, Kris, Adrian, Steve are all drivers.

Kris Kevin and I will be just ahead of you on the way up and you have my number if shit hits the fan

............"if shit hits the fan". Nice one Ed!

Which route(s) north is everyone taking..........so we can pick up stray parts!

I'll be heading up I-95 as I'll be starting Friday out from Groton CT.....don't ask!

I wish I was able to make it, but it's for the best that I didn't push my luck and decide to make the run up there for this.

  I ended up breaking an engine mount, snapping my Y-pipe off in front of a cat, and blowing a tire off the bead (taking our a wheel speed sensor) at 'The Wilds Safari' in OH last weekend.  It was a PITA, but not a huge deal since we were only a couple hours from home.  Breaking the engine mount and exhaust in the North Woods of Maine would have been a serious problem though.

  Take lots of video and pix.  I probably won't make it back out until Conclave now...

I think nearly everyone is heading up 95. here is where my house is if anyone has trouble. Kevin, you been there before so you know where to pick my sorry as up.

https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=209819775630099886345.000492aa3048f1d92ea4d&msa=0&ll=40.969595,-73.705988&spn=0.046337,0.090895

only place you will hit traffic if you come over the Tap to 95 would be near Stamford but only a couple minutes delay during the day. if you plan at rush hour I would go 684-84. We were talking about a lakeside campsite near the wal-mart. Don't think anyone booked it yet.

Well, 
    My passenger floorboard is soaked. Noticed it today as I was loading up molly into her car seat, and noticed water dripping out of the rear door onto the slider. Hoping for a clogged a/c drain. But the weather isn't cooperating so i can't even check it out.

Always look at the positive..........the weather is meant to be perfect up north, so your floor should dry out during the trip!
