We decided to do it on a Sunday this time, so those that work Saturdays can make it out. The leaves should be turning colors by then, so you have a good reason to get those significant others to let you come (as in bring them along!)

I'm down as a "maybe" right now until I confirm my schedule. I had a good time at this event last year. Great scenery!

Ill get you guys down as maybies. It always impresses me to see long distance travelers. We are hoping for the same turnout as last year.As for food, it is "bring your own". However since the meet starts an hour later this year, it would allow time for "lunch pre-meet". Im sure Raginfish could help coordinate for hotels and such. (Hey Mike, you ever think of starting a travel agency?)

I'll scope out area hotels in case you guys come out...I promise, no Comfort Inn again. That place was trashy.

Hope you guys had fun. Sorry about the confusion getting to the Go-Kart place. But I think it was worth it, they were fun. And also sorry about not doing the cruise through the park, too crowded I guess. Here some pics http://www.matrixowners.com/mo...31461

Post by **NSimkins** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 10:15 am

Yeah, we did have a great time! ... including some misadventures en route to the Go-Cart Track on the freeway (which will remain closed-book!) Always have a great time, even though Mike and I were the only Vibe representation, the Matrix group always welcomes us. Looking forward to the next one.

Raging, Great panorama. I tried the link to the large panorama on your website, but it is apparently broken (at this moment, anyway).

Damn that's a big print! How cool is that!
