    I'm not so sure driving in reverse for long distances is a good idea :devil::cornut::Thumbsup:

    Feel free to bring friends along. Once it get's closer I will ask for a head count so I know how many routes to print.

    It is not. I looked at going that far east, but it didn't really work with my lunch destination of Remo's (which is the whole reason I'm putting something together).

    I might suggest a stop by Laurelville on the way back for some of the best cider ever.

    PM me the address and I will see how it matches up to what I have put together so far.

    Finished up my drafts of the two routes from C-bus and the two return routes yesterday. Going to drive one of the combinations this weekend to clean up the notes.

    Nick - I tweaked one of the return routes to go through Laurelville.

    Planning to run the second route this week. Curious as to how much interest there is for this drive before I burn another vacation day.

    Personally I think doing both is above & beyond the call of duty, especially if you are giving away vacation days to do it. I'm sure I'm with everyone in appreciating your hard work. I know it is not easy, costs you time & money. Run the one you have save the other for spring, just my .02.

    I'm 90% there. As we get closer I can let you know for sure. Thanks in advance Brian! :Thumbsup:

    Using vacation days really wasn't a concern, I usually struggle to get them all used by the end of the year. It was more like you said, using it for a second route. After looking over the Brewery Drive route last night, I think I'm going to do an entirely new single route. There is a different place that I've been wanting to try for lunch.

    Then again if you need to burn a day or two or lose it what a way to do so. The weather is going to real nice they are saying. But that can change.
