Are you posting pict?
I could be persuaded to do a live Zoom. I have a premium account to host.
Still time to sign up and show up y'all stragglers and fence-sitters.
During our time together I will expect some (or all!) of you to make various excursions and to facilitate that (in lieu of a strictly scheduled and regimented plan) I've mapped out a couple of country tours. These attachments are turn-by-turn PDFs and I'll see what I can do about making them google-map downloadable-to-your-phone links as well, for navigational ease.
Run One is a 94 mile, 2-hour+ riverside tour that takes us to and through some covered bridges up north and The Winery at Hunters Valley (they will be expecting our members throughout the weekend) before guiding us to the show field. All in all an excellent morning/early afternoon lunch ride.
Run Two is a 94-mile mountain road and brew pub option with a stop in Kings Gap park (nice overlook there) and a stop at Appalachian Brewing Co. in Gettysburg before bringing you back to Carlisle.
Both of these routes were originally conceived by Cory and Jeni Drake, by the way. I just dusted them off and did some minor re-routing to account for changes in the landscape. Obviously either route is amenable to alteration or reversal.

What Ed did not mention is that his Spyder will be featured at Carlisle..Congrats Ed !
"Vehicles from around the World"
I guess "Baltimore" has now become a foreign country.
(Tongue firmly planted in cheek)
Good Marketing exposure there, Ed!
Ha! I actually had not seen that.
Yes, Gordon, technically Baltimore is located somewhere "around the world."
Yes, I wheedled my way into the display. It's got to be in place by Thursday at 5 PM so I'm going to be seeking a wingman (or woman) to escort me to the show field and then ferry me back to the hotel some time on Thursday. (Probably, weather-depending).
They might have mentioned it's a home-built replica, just to dispel any potential misunderstandings.
You're welcome to ride with me, Ed. I'll be arriving Wednesday A WEEK FROM TODAY!!!! WOOHOO!!!
Looks like I'm going to leave the delivery to Team Beck so I can be low stress all week. Been an "interesting" period at work and I need a break, even if it means I live a week or two more without the car.

Well, there went my only reason for going to Carlisle, Lane. Canceling my plans now.
If, I were not traveling that Sunday early AM to New Jersey to see the grand kiddies, I would bring my trailer to Carlisle and drag the Coupe DeVille to S.C. and do a Myrtle Beach stop on the way back.
I'm confused. Are the Beck folks still bringing the car to Carlisle, then delivering at a later date? Or are they not bringing it at all since you're not taking it home yourself, Lane?
I'm with you Alan. If I had something to bring back from SC I'd deliver it myself.
I got a chip guard for my open trailer. Installed it in an hour. . Just saying

Calm down Chris, the Coupe will be there. Any delay will between the time I get home and the car arrives.
And to think I thought you were coming because you liked our company. 🤣
Greetings,
Noticed that Alan left me off those attending on his last update.
FYI, planning to arrive at the hotel mid afternoon Thursday and to depart Sunday noonish.
I’m driving up from Arlington, VA. If we left around noon - 1pm, anyone in the area interested in caravaning up?
Marshall
Marshall your name was not on this week's latest print out from the hotel...I will fix that .
More is more!
Carlisle: Courtyard by Marriot access......Your GPS will have you exit Rt.15 onto Rossmoyne Rd, go past Gettysburg Road, at the 2nd light make a left onto Independence Road (is a new road)
New road as in different location(new intersection?) than before or just resurfaced?
The 1st Left off the Rt15 S exit (Gettysburg Rd) is closed ( per hotel) at the next light make the L onto Independence RD it a new road .
As I recall, making that first left was challenging because you had to do a multi-lane change immediately. This sounds like a good thing.
The 1st Left off the Rt15 S exit (Gettysburg Rd) is closed ( per hotel) at the next light make the L onto Century Rd. it a new road ....Thanks for catching that Danny...Seems the hotel gave me the incorrect " new road" name ...
Looks like we all should put Danny out front reading the map/GPS.
We have two guys on our bike trips, Andy and Robb, who are NEVER allowed to read a map or lead a ride. Both have gone miles out of their way after going the wrong way and getting lost. We've seen both of them get lost in the airports (multiple times) just getting to our destinations.
Don't be like Andy and Robb - Follow @DannyP
Sure, you can try to follow Danny, but it will not be relaxing. You might work hard trying to keep up. The cruise just might turn into a race without much notice. (especially if the Drake is around)
Ask me how I know. 
For anyone who has been on the fence, the hotel will still honor the contracted room rate ! Carlisle weather looks partly sunny partly cloudy and a couple of showers possible now and then. We've seen better and much worse. Be safe enjoy the trip out to the hotel . Connie and I should be at the hotel by 2PM One minor change.. instead of the the free breakfast buffet the hotel will provide free breakfast coupons that will cover breakfast at the Bistro. ....Please be sure to bring a Raffle item or two !
Unfortunately I am out for the long weekend but still hope to visit the field on Saturday just for the day.
Viva Los Carlisle!
Safe trip Carlisle early birds ! After a day of travel there is the Pizza Grill and upscale place 5 minutes from the hotel . I highly recommend it, we'll see you tomorrow !
Carlisle weather Wednesday through Sunday high's of 68 - 71 degrees & party sunny......possible passing shower Saturday evening.
I’m in Lexington,VA where I’ll overnight tonight. It’s about 3.5 hours from the hotel so tomorrow should be a short day. The traffic on 81 was miserable, so who knows how long it’ll take.

Once again, autocorrect for the win!
It should be pretty clear these bots know way more about us than they let on. Most of the time, they're just toying with us.
.
Ahhh auto correct :~)

Safe remainder of the trip !
In Charlottesville VA tonight. Most gas stations without gas due to the pipeline shutdown. Thinking about coming up for a few days. How is the gas supply in Carlisle and surrounding areas?
The gas thing is so dumb. People are panic buying. I've heard some people up and down the east coast say stations were busy but my wife (in MD) said it's fine, the prices are just higher. My SIL, near Carlisle said there is some panic buying.
Info is spotty but this is as of this morning, the states that have to pipeline running through it seem to have the supply issues. I can't find any shortage info for PA and other surrounding states. I just filled both vehicles here in WV . From here, I figure I can run to Carlisle PA fill up, then on Sunday continue into NJ to visit the grandkids and back into central PA before I will need gas for the rest of the trip back into WV . I'll have a new empty 5 gallon can just in case I may have to use it. 
To be clear, my SIL didn't say anyone was out of gas, just people panic buying.
We are on that line in Merklins picture and my wife had absolutely no issue getting gas
theyre on the way to get TP
Planning on getting there between 4 and 5 tomorrow. The Spyder has a full tank.
