Yeah those mountain roads can be pretty slick especially in the mornings. Hope everyone is running winter tires or all seasons. Then again, the weather has been so whack lately, it could be 40 degrees at that time.

Any single folks coming out to this? Wifey probably won't be able to make it. I'm not a definite yet either.

More than likely.

bimmernupe · 12-24-2008, 11:50 AM

Oh yeah the link is fixed in OP. Had some complaints about going to Kansas.

BMWGator · 12-24-2008, 01:26 PM

I might try to do this run.

nope, you gotta drive yourself. you and Steve can bring up the rear

DoNDoN · 12-24-2008, 03:55 PM

I just made a run to the pie place again but this time in the Odyssey. I didn't take the same route to the pie place but I did take the same road to the German Restaurant. The road from the pie place to the German Restaurant is insane and not meant for the Odyssey. If I were here to do it again I would for sure.

You gotta give me credit. At least I try. It's always the first time for everything. You never know after my NCC driving school. You might be the one ended up in the rear

true you tried. just make sure you are also aware of others behind you too. i gave you the walkie-talkie for a reason, just tell someone you can't keep up or for us to slow down.

for drives like this, its also good to have a co-pilot so you have someone to tell you where to go and you're not doing that in addition to driving.

i doubt, however, i'll ever be in your rear-view mirror

bubbletea 4 me · 12-24-2008, 08:52 PM

haha.. this is funny. btw, the walki talki didnt work, or maybe i didnt know how to use it

Your co pilot was useless.

Paul, you know I only kidding. But, seriously i though i was doing pretty good until the last stretch, not until that nasty gravel road through the neighborhood where I had to slow down cause I can feel the tires are slipping on me. Or it's just that I haven't get use to the handling. From the beginning I didn't want to be the fourth anyway. BTW, at least the one I asked, couple of them didn't mind following me. Again, it's definitely a lessons learn for me.

I recall no gravel road. All roads were paved.

Anyway that one road is no longer on the route.

As I mentioned before, you have to be WITHIN range for the walkis to work.

There was no gravel road.
Just a few ones needing re-paving badly.
A little slide here or there is always fun.
