So heres the deal on 131....they are done patching the cracks. no pea stone was used. There are intermittent lane closures but only takes a couple of minutes. From my construction background it looks like they are widening it for a passing lane then going to repave the whole stretch.

Keep the road updates coming, want to avoid construction zones/debris towing the tilted cat. Team Cuz I Can MTI from central/western NY, planning to cross through Canada to shave some miles.

Looking forward to a great time, please introduce yourselves when you see us so we can share some laughs.

Tough to be leaving the Fountain at home- especially with Fountain Friday street show, but a big part of our fun is the travel to/from events together as a team in one rig.

Should be arriving Wednesday night, to enjoy Thursday fun run and Friday show/stereo wars.

What's the best advice you can give to first timers at Boyne event ??

Well one of the first things is to come early and you have that part taken care of.

Second, we cover a lot of water. I suggest planning to run w others to the card stops.

Third with the route you plan to take, as your heading north on I 75 you will likely want to take the route from the Vanderbilt exit. This will allow you to avoid the construction that has been mentioned. On your gps, this is likely not the route it would normally take you.

Fourth, make sure to leave the docks and go downtown between 5-9pm. Its easy to get wrapped up talking to people and looking at boats on the dock but the street show is very cool and everyone will be coming back to the docks for stereo wars anyways.

Last, I will look for you as my wifes name is also Kelly O so we have to meet up

Get some sleep ahead of time and bring a well rested liver. Stop by the local Ford dealer if you need anything.

Uh oh....... Sammy Haggar will be cued up for that segment.

Thanks for the heads-up, we'll keep a tight reign through there.

I am confused as to which 47 Fountain we are supposed to act most impressed with ? Any help with that is appreciated.
