New Hampshire run, June 7th, 8th, 9th

Make sure you have your passport In the passenger compartment of the car
A charged FRS radio for chit / chat and an exchange of current cell numbers is likely as we gather

I tried to work stops in around 1,5 hrs driving time. (Some us have reduced coffee retention time )

Leave Salisbury Big stop 7 AM June 7
Next stop Saint John area -about 1 hr drive time
Al where works for you ? Quispamsis Tims- ESSO -Irving ?

Border crossing @ St Stephen,
Big stop @end of #9 for gas ,coffee, and a snack about 2 hrs with the border crossing
Clocks go back an hour , get an extra hour

Run on #9 the around Bangor via 46 and 395 to the 95
A stop somewhere Bangor for a coffee/ stretch not the lunch stop 1,5 hrs

95 to Freeport area will be about 2hrs then switch to the #1 and other old roads
Maybe a later lunch around Freeport or some beach somewhere
Lots of “ to be decided “ till we get to Portsmouth for the hotel

Saturday AM Maybe breakfast before we leave, maybe on the way, maybe in Concord ? TBD

Route 4/16 to Concord area, stop for coffee out/ in
I think Martin may join us here
Maybe a car wash, some crooked road, a couple of possible routes from Conway with lunch likely in Goreham
Grab some gas when in Goreham , and some snacks here if you need them,
North along the River to Errol , the. some high country views as we work one of several routes back to Bangor
I’m trying to use different roads from last time
I’m looking forward to a few days of windshield views, hopefully with the top down!

I’m not posting a lot of the finer details as they will change on the fly
The esso/tim's will work good for me. See you all there.
 
Friday night 7th Howard Johnson
383 Woodbury Rd. Portsmouth Maine

Sat. night 8th Bangor Grande 357 Odlin rd Bangor

thanks to you Glenn for doing the Leg work on this,
left to me as busy as I am, we would have been sleeping on park benches LOL\\

sent PM about $ for rooms,

we do have one open spot / Bed if another car and or person wishes to jion the run,
otherwise those signed up are now committed to run and costs.

Gerry will add some basic details of run soon, but its a bit free wheelin and
subject to change as we go,

remember what happens in NH stays in NH 😁
Are we staying in Portsmouth Maine or NH?
 
I’m a solid “maybe” on the last spot for hotels. Have a project in Vancouver that I need to be on site for some time in late May- mid June. Still waiting on the schedule from the on site project manager. Hate to miss out on this, but didn’t want to commit, knowing I might need to back out late in the plan.
If the spot fills & I end up with a clear calendar, I may just catch up along the way. At least, I know where I’ll find you lads when you park for the day and crack open the coolers!
 
Wow, that sucks!
But no better reason needed to buy mew wheels.

A hit that hard. I’d check the alignment too.
If one of those wheels was on the front, high probability your front end is now open, meaning towed out.
This will lead to accelerated inner tire wear.
Could cook tires on New Hampshire run alone.
Your car has some negative camber from factory, which is not adjustable, but toe is adjustable.
You want to have it toed in, or closed, about 0.03 to 0.04 of a degree each side.
That’ll give you a total toe in of between 0.06 to 0.08 of a degree.
If one side is 0.03 and other is 0.04 for total of 0.07, that’ good too.
When you’re heading straight down the road, it automatically divides itself 50/50 to keep you going strait.
That’ll mitigate inner tire wear.

Thanks for the advice, I can always use lots.
