I think the last time I was on the Kankamangus I was like 6.

There should be many viewing spots along the way.

We also need to determine if we are starting in Conway(rt 16) or Lincoln(rt93) 35 miles of twisties and great views...



You are funny Jammer and I come up on your bumper you will be sorry....LAMO

So, Dan, you were 6 the last time you were on the Kank...how was it last year?

Sounds like the Kank is a good choice...should we make it THE choice??? How about a date...late in the month would have great views...foliage...what do you guys think??

As far as brakes...I don't know if you want to be in front of donjamer's Crew if his brakes failed... ... ...and we all know about Trusty's brakes You might be better off in the back!!!

We could just pick up the focus and put it in the back of my truck.. I think there will be plenty of room for his car, My grille, cooler, and the truck won't even feel it..

The "kank" was gonna be my fall back. In fact if we went up the mountain, Tara and I would have done it on Sat. Selfishly, I would request to start from the conway side so I can still check out the mountain on sat and meet up with you guys on sunday and go the other way. It would also make final departure easier. Could the "Old. Old man on the mountain be a good destination? Are there any "trails" along the way? Would anyone be interseted in that?

I know he fell in 2003 (?). Thats why it was the Old- Old man on the Mountain. Thanks for the info though.

I think the 16th works, but I won't find out if Im going to be on call for work or not until tomorrow.

with people coming from the south why not meet somewhere and caravan up together. Get a convoy of sorts going. Just a thought.

And a tailgate lunch or somthing up top.
Hey Dan...great idea...how about meeting in Greenfield?!?! I'll buy breakfast!!!

On the highway sure... And you CT guys (whole state) drive pretty fast anyway. I'll let you get the ticket

Throw some twisty mountain roads into the mix and I'll stay ahead of you with only 130 BHP :P My car isn't all riced out but its decently det up for auto cross racing. I can take a 90deg turn at about 30mph easily.
