Steve, can't I just PM you? with my schedule, to call you, I'd have to either wake you up or you wake me, or we'd have to speak on the weekend - which I can't wait for to put my name on the list

I've never done a "benefit" run and basically don't know how it is different from a "regular" meet, but other than that, I'm always up for a nice twisty run, so...

Joe, Scott! Y'all need a special invitation?
No I just need a little 411 about the length of the run and when it is lkely to be over as it starts a little late for me given that it is in Pa.

I'm there. I'm only about 2 hours east of the black forest. Haven't been there for ages. I recommend overnighting in Baden Baden if anyone needs to.
not the black forest in Germany

i thought the same thing when i saw the thread title though.

...most people are familiar with the Black forest in Germany. I think this thread might get more interest if you specified "poconos" or PA or wherever that one is. (ive never heard of it) I only clicked on it because i was like "wow, black forest run would be incredbile" thinking it was in the DEU!

Yes, 411 would be handy


Craig, +1 - would be nice to clear up that this is not the Black Forest in Germany

The rooms are only $32.00 in change for double occupancy.
The hotel charges by the hour, prefers if your name is Trixie and we highly suggest you bring a set of your own sheets. You definitely don't want to drool on the pillow cases and suck it back up.

here is my thing... i would be hard pressed to leave a $60K+ car outside of a hotel that charges $32 a night. I am not a snob, but I have been to both ends of the world. I have driven through the mountians of tennessee and the worst neighborhoods in baltimore AND newark (i know, its not east st. louis or Detroit) but anyhow... those are the kinds of places that have $32 hotels, and those are the kinds of places i wouldnt park my car.

Well, let's hope that nothing like that happens to any of the cars. Ever. That being said, a car is probably more safe in the worst neighborhood in Black Forest than in a garage in Manhattan...

plus, I personally am not planning to stay overnight anyway
