I did part of the trip last year, and it was a lot of fun. I'll probably do the same leg I did last time.

Keith and I did the leg from Cooperstown to Lake George. I had 460 miles or so on my odometer by the days end.

According to the site, Sat Feb 02

Just so you're aware, they require $10 for the signs that go on every car (I'm not sure if you get that back or not - Keith was nice enough to spot me because I wasn't carrying cash).

Here are some pics from last year:

Parking Lot VI

My attempt to take a picture of the long string of cars out my sideview mirror as we were getting ready to begin the trip - I was in the middle of the pack.

I did not get to take a picture of all the cars here we had during the leg of the trip I participated in here, because I wanted to socialize and meet everyone (people arrived at the B&B after I put the camera away), and we picked up people at various points along the route.

Gas Station Mayhem

We stopped for gas 3X during the trek. This was our first stop at a gas station, and this parking lot was by far the largest - the locals were pretty upset when they had to deal with the crowd, but every gas station loved us (high-octane gas guzzlers, and a bunch of junkfood at each stop - they made a killing from us). I didn't take pictures of any of the other stations, because it was too hectic with 40 vehicles trying to share a small parking lot and 4 pumps (the lot was big enough for us to fit about 30 of the vehicles, so we had to rotate parking on the street once we finished gassing up).

I wanted to get a picture from the front, but by the time I got the third picture snapped, people were beginning to get anxious to continue driving, so I had to jump in the car and go.
