FW: Kancamangus Run Proposal




Hello Listers and Participants,

 I thought I'd post this today and next Thursday in case anyone has   
missed the details or wanted to join up...all other correspondance will   
be handled within the participants list so as not to bog down the list.   
 I have received a request or two from VW owners to join up.......of   
course you are welcome...as is anyone else who just loves Audis....(just   
keep ten paces back :<]....)

  Paul

Hello from Boston...fellow Kanc Run Participants, Founders, Guests etc.:

 Looks like things have come together for the "Great Northern New England   
Audi Fest"
 In the interest of having a general plan, it is as follows, but of   
course is open to w-i-d-e
 interpretation....send suggestions, changes, other to me and I'll   
forward.  I'll send a "final" agenda
 to the list early next week....just so the rest will be jealous.  My   
original offer to gather at my
 folks cabin will not work at this time as it is being "closed" just   
prior to our date.  I'll repeat the
 offer when a warmer climate returns.

IMPORTANT NOTES:  there will be a huge police presence at the tollbooth   
on 93.
After the accident a couple of days ago, you can bet there will be
speed traps, and lots of cruisers all around the area.....


Proposed Run:

  October 19th...... Meeting Time 9:00-9:45 AM ... Depart Time:   
9:45-10:00 AM
  Meet at NH state liquor store (rest area) I-93 just north of Manchester
     (just North of the Hooksett tolls, between Hooksett and Concord)
    Mike says: "I will have map handouts ready for the morn departure (as   
detailed as I can get)"
    I say: "See me for your copy of "European Car's" January '92 article   
on complete
                                     history of Audi..."The Nine Lives of   
Audi" by David McFarlane and a copy
    of an old National Lampoon Audi takeoff adverisement"

  Head North on I-93 towards Kancamangus

  Re-group at "The Golden Parabolas" just off I-93 in Lincoln (start of   
Kanc) OR
   Mike says: "A good little Italian place in Lincoln where it would be   
hard to spend $5@ for great chow"
   I say: "Mike, if this is the place I'm thinking of, we could grab some   
chow to go and eat
   at one of the scenic spots on the Kanc"
   
   Mike also says: "Time outs at the overlooks are a must for never evers   
and more photo Ops!  I'll bring   
                                                                            
                                                                            
    the official camera"
                        I would agree, as I believe most would

  Other Itinerary with suggested stops:

  (Stop at Swift River Gorge...a must for never evers")
  Kancamangus to Bear Crotch Road North
  Bear Crotch Road North to 302 East
  302 East to West Side Road
  West Side Road to Cathedral Ledge Look Out (Stop)
  Cathedral Ledge Look Out to 16 South to Conway

  Mike says: Alternately I think Attitash will have lifts open to the   
top, Maybe a free
                                         period of time is in order with   
a regrouping later for return?
   

  Conway to Wakefield (Sanbornville) NH on Route 153

    (NOTE BENE: For those of you unfamiliar with the Kanc, there is a   
hairpin
     turn which is just that..something to keep in mind..also...this is   
still the
     edge of retiree and foreign tourist season..caution is   
advised....153 is a great
     road but has a few surprises...I'll  try and let you in on   
them...for instance,
                a full 90 degree, tight right hander that is often sandy   
and dangerous)

  (We, or some, may want to go a mile south of 153 and pick up the Kanc   
either for
     return to the west side or to finish the five miles or so towards   
Bear Crotch Road...
    scenic here are nice and you might not want to miss...got a picture   
of your Audi
    on a covered bridge?....Blackberry Crossing)

  Late Lunch, early dinner at Poor People's Pub Sanbornville, NH
  (cheap, lots of room, kind od a fun place)

  Mike also says: Too much to do and so little time, but I think all will   
have fun and lay
                                                 a great ground work for   
future events.
                                                 PS Since bears can be   
crotchity this time of year, I'll take Bear Notch
                                                 over Bear crotch!


    Take Care,
     Drive Safe,
       Paul
