Kevin,
I may leave late Thursday night or very early Friday. Either way you'll probably pass me too.

[J.McKelvey]

I'm planning on driving my 2A down leaving friday morning from Saint John. Some friends from Nova Scotia are planning to meet me in the morning to convoy the rest of the way down. We should be there sometime late afternoon/early evening.

Any of you guys staying at the Holiday inn?

I am planning on attending again. This year actually in a rover lol. Last year a wheel bearing and family issues kept the series home. Looking to leave from Southeast CT with a range rover and maybe some discos Friday mid-day or early afternoon (school gets out at 2)

Snow or Ice

What the falling weather outlook for the Romp? I hear it is raining really bad right now and that things are expected to be a solid block of ice by Romp'in time.

Relax...

Never have trail conditions repeated themselves over the years.

Way... way to eary to tell what trails will be like.

Infact, trail conditions change every couple of hours or so...

All will be well out there come romp weekend.

It's raining and blowing hard here off the coast, but there is a LOT of snow remaining on the ground. And inland, there was a lot more snow to start with!

Bruce would know best, but I echo his comment; you never know what the Romp conditions will be until you're out on the trails . It would be hard to beat last year with lots of snow, sunny clear day, and reasonable winter temperatures. The Romp has also had years of bitter cold conditions with little snow, far too much snow, and warm temperatures that have melted the "permafrost" and created vast tracts of bog!
