We have been through this before, including high dollar,
At this point, We have not considered changing it,

It would likely get canceled not replaced, the Dyno / Spring run
Has been a tradition, befor we formed Maritimemustang.com

If enough people complain, we would have a Admin meeting,
to discuss.

For the record, this run has been done with as few as 2 people and
over 10.

Always enjoy the New Hampshire/Dyno run. Another big thing about it is the warmer weather being further south, nice to be doing top down late May/early June.
That being said, instead of changing it, just add another one here a little later once it warms up northern NB and see who wants to sign up for it also. The more the merrier.

Glenn is Correct, most forums don't have any events, we have several and support a couple as a Fourm

But anyone here who wants to use our platform to create and do a possible run somewhere
is more than welcome. Currently we have no events in August. Part reasons are for folks here who
want to commit to all of our events can and still have a month to maybe to a family vacation
or other activities. We before covid had a plan for a very big show in August, that went sideways with
everything being shut down and was never revisited after the fact.

We prefer anyone wanting to do take on this adventure, please speak to us about what you want to post here,
I am sure we can accommodate and maybe help with or advise, based on our experiences for anyone wanted to try this.

Funny I was thinking the same thing today and was looking at routes in Quebec, including going to Rivière du Loup, then crossing the St. Lawrence at “ Three Pistols” and doing that side of the river to Quebec City.

I’d be in for a domestic spring run.
Along a body of water and some mountains just makes it even better.

I’d propose a variation to your suggestion.
Avoid big city traffic and any 4 lane driving.

All small towns, relatively low traffic if we go before end of school year(before June 20th I’d venture to guess), plus craft beer breweries in easy walking distance to hotels on both overnight stays.
Two nights of accommodations.
Campbellton and Perce.

Drive to Campbellton Friday. Stay at Howard Johnson on waterfront, lots of parking and restaurant on site.
Easy walk to Artisan craft brewery for supper or after supper.

Saturday, drive the Gaspe coast across to the north shore through the Chic Choc mountains and around the tip to overnight in Perce.
Scenic resort town and supper with craft beers at Pit Caribou craft brewery and restaurant.
The drive through the mountains is 50% along a winding and fast flowing salmon river, with lots of turns and elevation changes.

Sunday, drive south shore back to Campbellton and everyone returns home.
I would pattern this similar to New Hampshire run. Lots of driving and guys and beers at end of day. Not for shopping and stopping everywhere.

I’m no expert with Google maps so I can’t get proposed route on single map.
So I have screen shot 3 to show Saturday’s route.
Maps says it’s 6 hours of driving.

Saturday, leave Campbellton around 8:30, you gain an hour crossing into Quebec, so 6 hours of driving, an hour for lunch, a couple of 1/2 hour scenery/nature breaks and a half hour scenery break in Forillon National park, land in Perce between 4:30 and 5 pm local time.
Supper reservation between 6:00 and 7:00 should be no issue.
Stay at Riotel motel in Perce
I’ve stayed there before. Decent parking and restaurant on site for breakfast.

The whole north shore drive is low traffic and quite scenic along the coast.
Slides show Saturday drive first to third in sequence.

Beautiful area, love to do again some day
but for me its really a 4 day trip to do right,
4 days is hard to get in Summer time, 3 is difficult.

I know no way I am doing anything else in June.
I figure from Mid May through to some time in July I am pretty much screwed

June I have 5 weekends booked already between Maritimemustang stuff
and race car stuff, not counting I have to work more than average first half of summer
In order to pay for all this Play :)

If enough interest, we could start a separate thread.
Keep the idea alive until time gets closer.

You can if you wish
History had taught me that you have plan these things and organize.
post in advance and hope for someone to show up lol
typically like anything if it becomes a regular thing numbers will grow.
Weather of course is always a factory, which can kill a run.
anything wiith Hotels and dinner plans becomes far bigger deal and should be organized
months in advance, last minute you may not get rooms. especially in smaller areas.

you could put up a post to gauge interest, even then you should cover bases of when and where.
From this end of the world, it is a 4 day run anyone with kids in schools or limited vacation time
lowers odds they are going.

Early days we were getting 25-30 cars a run with good weather
Our Gaspe run, was I think 12 cars, still good crowd and we did everything in 3 days
only did half the trip through gaspe.

Few things to think about, be happy to give you all the info I can.
Gerry is great resource for setting up runs, 1-2 cars cover 4 times the distance
of 10-15 plus in same amount of time.

My vision is only a few cars, like dyno run .
4,6,7 cars and there to drive, not stop every half hour.
Like dyno run, wives or kids not encouraged.
It would be near impossible with 15, 20 or 30 cars.
Guys that can get away, retired or otherwise.
Keep group small to move more efficiently and faster.
I’d do with 2 or 3 cars.

Fore hotel and supper reservations, it’s really Perce that is important.
Campbellton, not so much.

Al has said he might consider it.
Kevin has not come back with response.
If either one says they want to do it, I’m in.

Everyone can read what has been written here so far.
If no one speaks up from this, then I don’t think there is need for another thread.

Depending on the dates, I definitely would consider going. Mustang season goes by fast, you gotta drive em.

School goes out June 20th in Quebec, so we want to do it before then to beat rush, and Saint-Jean-Baptiste national holiday on June 24th.

I’m flexible on dates but propose June 7th.
If weather does not cooperate, we could keep June 14th as rain date possibility.

As stated above, only Perce needs advance reservations.
And being ahead of summer rush, it’s possible we could reschedule a week ahead.

Not sure about best dates for area, But Ideally picking a date that does not conflict
with our official schedule would be nice.
