Saturday, 10/7 - Foliage Run '06 - White Mountain, NH

[Lotus Man]

A message from Shawn D. (Red Lotus Elise from the 2006 Northeast Exotic Car Show):

Date: Saturday, October 7, 2006
Event open to all cars
Meet at Hooksett rest stop off I-93 in NH at 8:30 AM for 9 AM departure:

1. Hooksett, NH to North Conway via Rt 28 and Rt16.
2. Intervale, NH to 113N via Hurricane Mt. Rd.
3. 113N to 2W to 16S to 302W to Bear Notch Rd. to Kancamagus to Lincoln, NH (I haven't been down 113 but it sounds narrow, twisty, and remote. Kancamagus to Lincoln. Shouldn't be as crowded so late in the day. Might stop at a rest area along the way for some sunset shots).
4. Dinner in Lincoln at ~17:00. (Not sure where. Gordi's, Truant's, or Common Man might have decent parking.)

The proposed route focuses more on back roads and less interstate.

Stops along the way might include:
- Wolfeboro, NH pitstop
- North Conway for 2 hour lunch and stretch
- Glen, NH pitstop
- Dinner in Lincoln 1 hour

Once again, leaving Hooksett at 9 AM, I expect to be back in Hooksett by 7:40 PM.

Looking forward to seeing everyone,
Shawn D.

I'll be heading up there to meet with some Elise and Ferrari folks. Would like to caravan up there with some Boston folks as well.

Boston caravan: Meet at the Soldier's Field lot ("The Lot") at 7:45 AM for an 8 AM departure. It's a straight slingshot onto Storrow Drive from the lot onto I-93 N.

Perfect weekend, weather wise. Perfect timing, foliage wise. What a great excuse to put more miles on the car before winter storage!

A full day of driving curvy roads - pit stops for food and foliage...perfect photo opportunity!

See you there!

Will, thanks for posting here. I had to resurrect and old email address, but I'm in now. It would be great to have NSX represented on the run. Hope to see you there.

Just saw this, crap, not nearly enough notice .

It was thrown together rather quickly. Would have been good if you had made it, but traffic changed our plans a bit anyway. We never hit the northern section of 113 and turned around after Hurricane Mt. Rd.

Overall it went well, and the plan is to run the loop again in the nottoodistant future. I'll post sooner next time.

We're running a short loop that's more local on Sunday:
