Not sure if we are night wheeling friday night or not. but they do go out after mexican buffet to hit the trails.

Will give it a try if I can get a trailer between now and the 14th Im thinking about trailing the disco, otherwise I wont go too crazy need that truck to bring us back home . Im thinking pick up time at Ed's house around 9 to 10am in Westchester NY

it's 5hr 37 mins from my house according to Google.

Let me know if you guys want to meet in Danbury. I'm likely meeting someone there, then someone in W. Hartford. Coordinating with the Boston crew around 2pm.

Likely on the trails by 6pm or so.

we are probably heading west towards new haven then cutting up towards Hartford. I'm on the CT border in NY so to get to Danbury would be back tracking

We could meet off 84 near Hartford as well. Meeting someone else there.

we are about 90 mins from Hartford at my house so we are looking at 1030-1130 depending on what time Cris gets to my house.

If not another meeting point for the final leg will be at the border of New Hampshire and Maine on 95N ,whats the name of that place to buy stuff tax free or something like that cant remember the name .

once we get ron from ma in the convoy...it's a mad dash to maine. we maybe stop for fuel and coffee.

Ed I'll look for you up there, heading up with about 3-4 trucks

nice! who else are you going up with? Fernando & Carlos?

Carlos yes, but he and Fernnando no longer do business together. Another friend of ours from Connecticut and his friend.

I'm thinking about leaving Wednesday night (it's a lot further from this end of PA). The wife wants to do some sightseeing along the way. I'll catch up with you guys when you arrive on Friday.

After dinner they're planning late night wheeling, but if the weather is ugly and you haven't been there before you might want to see it in the daylight first...some of the trails lead right out onto beaver ponds and peat bogs. Obviously, that's a problem if the ice isn't thick enough and you end up out there in the dark...

Ed. It's almost 8 hr drives from CNJ to ME. I plan to leave home around 10:30. My next stop is Edgewater for lunch. Will try to hit MA Costco for fuel. Then all the way to ME. Can't tell if I will run into anyone of u and not sure if I would wheel on Fri Nite. Sat Am, I will see you guys at Big G. What time u want to meet? Am staying at the Grand Hotel

Sam, plan to hit Big G's early. The line runs out the door into the parking lot if you get there after 9:00...

K. Get to Big G before 9am. Does wheeling start at 11am, or can it be earlier? Do we all bring lunch onto the trail?

Order a whole sandwich at g's to go. It'll feed an army

we will probably be ahead of you. I think Cris is picking me up shortly after you are leaving NJ. so about an hour or so a head of you. in case anyone needs my phone number text messages are best since service is spotty up there for me. 914 861 five one zero one

Hey, Just a friendly reminder...

Did all of you guys remember to complete the Registration form (http://www.winterromp.org/Release.pdf) and send it to Bruce? They were due back by 2/8...

Well this sucks , Im having brake problems ...after replacing the standard lines for SS lines yesterday my brake pedal goes down to the floor , I found out today that the regular bleeding procedure doesnt work on a 04 D2 , it needs a computer to bleed the system correctly , also read about gravity bleeding so I did today for 4 hours and it got better but erratic it will grab and the next time it wont , so Ed is going to find out if anyone going to the Romp can bring that computer to do a quick bleeding during some down time ... this fucking sucks just at the last minute .

Chris, I just bought a Hawkeye. I've never used it yet, but i'll bring it.

The problem with the hawk eye is that's it's connected to your VIN and only one truck at a time. I'm not sure how easily you can switch vehicles. what he needs is a t4. Some people have luck with the power bleeds some don't. Easiest and most effective and expensive is t4 because it shuttles the modulator valves.

Hmmm...i'll have to give it a try. They guy I got it from said this one is opened up for all Disco 2s...

Safe journeys all. It's nasty out there

it's a shit show. we got about 8 inches and now it's turning to sleet/snow mix.

So since I am missing out on this how are the roads and conditions out there? Any pics of the way up there?
