This will be a fun event
It is a Motor Tour and not a race or road rally. Everyone is expected to drive safely and sanely. The route is straight forward. All mileage is estimated. If instructions say turn right when you should turn left is an honest mistake and not an attempt to get you lost. Bring maps, GPS, and use common sense. Carry a cell phone. If you break down, you are on your own. Other participants may stop to help because they are good people, but you are ultimately responsible for your own vehicle.
