    I'd be up provided I haven't been booked to do something else that I'm not aware of. I've been absurdly busy lately. I actually need to get off the couch now and go do some prep work for something tomorrow.

      I'm interested, but I'll have to talk with the fam to see what's going on as it gets closer and depending on it I'll have enough time off as I need 2 weeks for that trip. I'm going to have to break it up into at least 3 days of driving one way.

          Nah... I'd much rather drive and have the ability to bring more gear. It's getting hard to get in and out of my panther... Don't know if I'd be able to get down to fox body levels any more. My knees are getting to be not so well. Doing exercises that should help with that, but yeah... first time exercising in ~30 years... gonna take some time.

            honestly one of the reasons I drive the Continental more than the Mark VII is that its easier to get in. Those long-ass doors don't give as much room, and the lower sport seats don't help either.

              Definitely interested. I'm close enough I could probably make it a day trip, or even two. It'd be nice to put a handshake and a grille to some of these screen names.
              Ill forget it all by the time I drive home but ..lol

                After talking to the wife, there is more interest in Scottfest than I thought. Looking in the area for things to see for her and the kid, we've found a few things. One literally around the corner from Scottmang (Daniel Boone Homestead). I also found out that Maple Grove Raceway is doing test and tune on the 9th. I would like to make a few hits to know what my car does now. Pretty sure it's low 15s vs mid 15s from before, but I would like to know what it is.

                  The Homestead is literally at the end of the road he lives on. As many times as I've been up that way I've never been over there.
