Thanks! I'll post up a pic when they come in.

The place that is making them is out of Charlton, MA: https://www.obrientruckers.com/about.html

The plaques are not made in China. LOL.

Sounds good! After you make the thread, I'll send out an email to everyone with a link.

We need go karts...... what's the closest place we can incorporate into this?
(May be bringing the kids)

I've looked into that, believe me. I would love to do that too but I came up empty. If you find any let me know.

Demon, If you want to swing by my place (West Granby, CT) before or after the cruise....you can do some go-karting with the kids. Not sure if that helps.

Ive been expanding the cruise area thinking outside the box, but still allowing the reservoir as an end spot. I know theres some stuff over in Amherst, and over closer to Worcester, both are pretty far out. Maybe 45min off the usual path. Unless we are open to route changes?

Definitely not against stopping enroute and maybe meeting at the halfway. Wife took off for our party on the 6th so I get the boy, not sure about my niece.
I know sitting in the car all day get ls boring for them.

Those should look awesome dave. 13th should work for me too

There is a good chance I will make this one weather permitting. Last one it was raining at my house but not on the cruise.

These are the three I found within range, http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...pstq7p4owy.jpg

I do like the way the one in ct looks, but haven't calculated distance, and route.

I've been to both the Hatfield and Dudley courses but haven't actually ran on them yet, they're both very nice, but still not really close to the route. Actually we could just have a dedicated go kart meet, that would be fun too. And we could have it any time of year. Both of those places are fast karts, which are more expensive but way more fun. The Dudley place has a great arcade with lots of 90's games too.
