Cool

Two weeks before GeoPalooza. Maybe I could take the great anti clockwise circle route.

Are you taking the Firefly or the Kizashi? Or both again?

[Woodie]

Haven't decided yet. The perfect solution would be to flat tow the Firefly with the Kizashi, but I don't really want the towing apparatus on either car. took them both last year and the Firefly worked perfectly so that probably was a waste. There's some street racing there and I'm thinking about jumping in. I'm sure if I drove just the Firefly, I'd break it and be stuck.

A few changes to the event:

It's now in Freeport, Maine on Saturday, July 22 only, from 2-6 PM EST.

The rough plan is: We meet at Gritty's Brew Pub (187 Lower Main St. - http://grittys.com/pubs/freeport/). We can eat together there and use the parking lot as a place to show off our Suzuki's. Then we can take a scenic ride up RT1 and use that time to stop and take photos, stop to shop at the outlet stores, and maybe find a open field to play some games.

For Canadians interested in attending the event, these documents are accepted for entry into the United States via land:
"Canadian citizens can present a valid passport, Enhanced Driver’s License, or Trusted Traveler Program card (NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST)."
So it doesn't necessarily have to be a passport.
See https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/ ... initiative

Please let us know if you think you can join us. We hope to see you there!

Any chance we can get something going for this fall, for Maine and NH, do a Kancamagus cruise from N. Conway to Lincoln?

It's too bad you didn't join us in Maine. We had a great time. We even had a Kizashi from MA there.

I'm up for another Suzuki meet this fall. I love New Hampshire! Would you like to organize one?

After wanting one since 2010 I finally bought Friday, i had to let my 2000 A6 go after 270k miles, but happy to have the Suzuki. I can start scoping out days, and what kind of loop/ meet people would be interested in
