Well, I don't think that these roads are going to keep you too close to the
shoreline, or even be of much use to you at all (I use them as a quick way
to get to Rt. 16 from Rt. 11 in ME), but if you want to know... The roads I
was referring to are a couple of short back roads that I tie together in my
trips from Marc's(or Huw's) place back to mine (or the other way :). You
take Rt.-16 north (from Rochester NH area), then right onto 153 (there are
multiple methods to get onto 153, this one is just past a Getty station with
a big frickin' sign poking up though the tree-tops). Shortly after turning
off of 16 you will have to take a left after going through a small town to
stay on 153(things start getting pretty fun here) until you turn right onto
110 (this is another blast of a road, where I almost got picked up though
<gasp>). After 110 winds out into Rt. 11 things calm down and are back to
mild back country driving. But the 153->110 bit is enough to make me happy
on the 1.5hr drive to Marc's or Huw's. I just wish there were more roads
like these.... :0)

Well, I'm always open for a get-together, if you can find my house! Don't
know who else would be up to it. I actually think that Chris Miller is
possibly looking to do another tech day. Not sure if he's planning on doing
it at his place (Windham, NH) or not. (Might be 200q20v specific too, not
sure) So another NE meeting may not be too far off anyway.
Later!
