October 17th. We want to do it when the leaves are changing, which makes the ride that much more scenic.
If there's any changes to the schedule I'll let you know.

october 17th 10am - 1pm you will be returning at the place of location between 12pm and 3 pm if that makes sense?........people will be leaving in 5 minute intervals just to split up traffic a bit and the ride is about 2 hours soo

The only major difference between this and a "normal" collaborative fundraiser is that where you start on the road rally is who you pay your participation fee to.
(To be determined - No more than 20 bucks a carload but probably less.)

That way we 3 teams are not fighting over who's money is who's at the end of the rally.
That could get ugly (I'm sure it wouldn't..) and this way we also have 3 places to choose from to start your adventure.

More details to follow. I want to get a copy of the flyer and upload ALL the info at once. But what was discussed so far in this thread is the basics.

That's our Teambuilding Weekend. Hmm. Let's see, can we make that a teambuilding exercise???

Each group of people in a single car is working together as a team, so to me it clearly looks like a great teambuilding exercise!

Too bad I am going home from school that weekend, otherwise I might have joined you. Oh well, great idea...sounds like a lot of fun.

Good point since we didn't mention it, but let's wait like Elgin said and upload all the info at once. I don't see any point in making people read 15 different posts to piece all the info together. If that was the case then this thread would become the scavenger hunt instead of the actuall trip!

Awesome, you picked a weekend with nothing on it!

< slightly OT >I was talking about Woodbury's giant orange puppy sculpture in my Writing Fiction class today. We had to comment on a short story about this girl who went nuts and made a shrine for a man she was obsessed with by hanging stuff in this one tree....but hey, if you stuck that tree in Woodbury someone would probably call it art < /OT >

It's called "Barking Dog". I just hope that wasn't a question on our scavenger hunt!

Possibly someone, with one being the key word, would call it art. Barking Dog made quite a ripple in very conservative Woodbury when it was installed.

T-Minus less than 8.5 hours till the road rally.

We'll see how this goes, our first attempt at this kind of collaborative fundraiser.

Wish us luck, or come on down and participate if you live nearby.
