come one come all, if you like driving we'd love to have ya

This was a fun event for fast driving OR cruising last year. If you do not feel comfortable speeding down "extremely steep, winding" back roads, no worries. Last year we had everything from cablebandit's turbo v8 beast and a v8 miata to some slow guy in a red minivan. Go at your own pace.


When: May 30th, 2009 (with a rain date of June 27th)

Where:Meet at Home Depot in Trussville and then travel 90+ miles to Little River Canyon National Preserve.

What Time: Meet at 8:00AM

WTF: Spend the day driving the roads and enjoying the awesome view in one of only a handful of National Preserves in the US and one of the best parks in Alabama.

Itinerary:

* Meet at Home Depot in Trussville at 8AM.
* Pre-Departure meeting.
* Leave Trussville no later than 8:30AM.
* Meet with NE/East Alabama people @ undecided breakfast location 9:30AM.
* Light Breakfast @ ******* Barrel / Waffle House / Undecided
* Fuel Stop - Everyone needs to have enough fuel once we enter the park to drive at least 70 miles.
* Arrive at the park around 11AM.
* Stop at the falls for a break/photo op and pre-run meeting/safety talk
* Travel the 22 miles to the Canyon Mouth Park via Little River Canyon Pkway, possibly stopping at the overlooks on the way.
* Arrive at the Canyon Mouth Park. Spend time taking photos, hiking, swimming, fishing, etc etc.
* Cookout something simple for lunch. Grill hotdogs, hamburgers etc.
* Cruise back up LRC Parkway.
* If time allows, drive to Desoto Falls.
* Leave park.
* Stop somewhere around Gadsden to refuel if necessary


First leg:
Little River Canyon falls to County Road 275

Second:
County Road 275 to Canyon Mouth Park

Notes:

* There is no entrance fee to the Preserve, however there is one at the Canyon Mouth Park. I believe it was open for donations, bring cash to support the area.
* NO ALCOHOL WILL BE PERMITTED ON THIS CRUISE. THIS IS A DRIVING EVENT.
* Bring your two way radios if you have them.
* If anyone is interested in going, but does not wish to drive, ask in this thread and Im sure you can find someone to ride with.
* I suggest everyone bring something to drink with them into the park as there are no places to stop once you get into the preserve.


here are some pics from last years event...




Guys this is a very fun event, for god's sake we had (forgive me if I get this wrong) Jerry [Candlebandit] out there in his 9 sec TA, if he can do it anyone can.

Post up if you might have some interest, and what you are gonna be driving.

StageZero will be covering the hamburgers and hotdogs and chips. If we get enough people we will cover drinks as well. I'd like this to be as big as possible, also, please clean your cars I know this is asking alot(especially of me) but we have plenty of photog's on here that will be taking pictures.

Also motorcycles are welcome.

We'll have to have another rock chucking contest.

I'm not left handed
