Great job Don! I had fun and I only made it to the picnic. I'll be sure to run the next rallye.
Hopefully I can help put one together too so You can run in one. I'll have to drive one at least and then I'll attempt to put one together so you can drive!

We had a great time. This was the first event except for the CCDV meetings that we had the oppurtunity to meet other members in a social setting. I don't think you could ask for a better group of people. Both Chris and I want to Thank all those that attended, and we are looking forward to getting together again. Don & Chris Terranova

[Ed Bonk]

Don & Chris - I second everybody's compliments and congratulations. It was fun and I think the club should have two of them each year. Maybe early June and end of August which would allow flexability for rescheduling at a later date.

Again, great job & thanks for your hard work and effort.

Looks like it was great day for your event there, I was reading through the directions and it looks like a good ride, I've done a lot of those roads in past covered bridge tours i've ran. next time i do one, i'll have to print these off and look for them clues.

:cool:

[C5pilot]

But the questions and directions were only part of the rally. Don also printed out color pictures of sights along the way and each team had to put the pictures in the order we saw them. Then once we returned, there was a crossword puzzle on the back page made up of some of the roads we used. It was a lot of fun.

Paul and I had a really good time. This was the first time we joined an event, so I was a little nervous about meeting everyone. As we entered the pavilion we were greeted like old friends. What a group!! Wow, I am so happy we are a part of CCDV. Joe and Chris are exceptional people. The rally was FUN and the picnic was a great ending to a great day. Thank you for putting this event together! Hope to see you at the Hot Dog Run. Ginny
