New England Winter GTG............March 9, 2008

[Hatterasguy]

Anyone interested in say late Feb early March?

Their is a really good state park on I95 near RI, I can't remember the name at the moment. I know we have had a couple their.

Since the SDL is in storage I have no clue as to what I'll bring, maybe I can borrow something or twist my friends arm and ride up with him.

So, what you're saying is that you want us to drag our a$$es over there and then you might not even show up???

Well, since I couldn't make the last GTG I guess I'm in. I have chains and I know how to install them.

I'm up for it.

Are you thinking about Colt State Park near Bristol? Perhaps incorporating a tour of the Newport Storm Brewery, followed by lunch nearby?

Given your description I'm thinking that's EXACTLY where it should be!

I will do the best I can and pencil it in once there's a date. I do have some business travel coming up and the kids are always a crapshoot but it sounds like a great excuse to me.

I'm ashamed to say that other than motor oil nothing will have changed on my TD since the GTG in MA last year. Actually it's sporting a couple of new badges so I have done something.

What am I that important? Me showing up to a GTG is a crap shoot anyway.

I'll go and I'll try to bring something decent.

Colt state park sounds good, how about some Sunday, how about March 2 or 9th, or possible Feb 24?

[airbus]

Not much of a response, I guess. Are you people hibernating or what???

[nhdoc]

I'd probably come, especially if it was later in March so maybe we could be outside without freezing.

[Hatterasguy]

The response for these has been pretty weak over the last couple of years. We used to be able to get at least 2 in a year, now were lucky to get one.

I'd love to go, but I can never plan ahead. I don't get my work schedule until a week ahead, and I almost always work Saturdays, which is when the GTGs almost always are. New England is a little bit of a hike for me ... if I had normal weekends off, I'd be more inclined to try, but like I said, I usually work weekends.

[rwthomas1]

Feb or March I should be able to do. Give a me a time and date and please don't do it on the Defender spring sale weekend! I'll bring a propane space heater..... The park in CT you are thinking of is Hammonasett State Park. I've been to one there and at Colt in RI. RT

[airbus]

Well, let's make it a sticky. I'd definately be there (wherever...) if we'd agree on any weekend except March 15/16, and that weekend would still be a 'maybe'. Maybe this 'maybe' would be even better because I have my friend from Germany over here so we could attend with two cars.

[deanot442]

I would love to do a GTG. If we can firm up a date. I will be traveling the last week in feb, but will attend if theres no conflict.

[Hatterasguy]

How about March 9th?

Hammonasett or Colt? How about Hammonasett we havn't had one in CT in quite awhile. RI can have the summer one.

[Douglas.Sherida]

The 9th works for me.

Hammonasset also works.

Actually, just about anything works.
