My oldest turns 16 on Sunday, so I'd be heading out early Sunday. How early can we get there on Thursday? I was thinking of showing up as early as I can to maximize what time I have.

I'm local, and I have Thu-Fri off from work. Head up any time, we'll meet at the cabin and if we can't get in when you arrive we'll go for a ride first.

Alternatively, if you or anyone else is interested in checking out something different (Cady Hill, Millstone, Perry Hill, etc.) I'd be happy to guide someplace else too if I know it well, or just explore it together if I don't know it well.

Having a Sunday/Monday option changes things for me. I could easily drive north instead of west. I will be in Marblehead/Beverly Saturday. I am not planning to stick around Boston. I won't need any accommodations.

I've messaged everyone that is confirmed to vote for their shirt size, but still don't have a lot of feedback so if anyone talks to people who are coming, if you could let them know to vote I'd appreciate it, otherwise I'll have to guess their size and they don't want that.:nope:

The T-shirt printer is ready to go, but is going to need a week or two to fit this in and at the end of this month I'm headed to Banff for two weeks so that's going to eat up some time. I'd just prefer to not wait until the last minute if possible.

I got no such message. I voted anyway.

I’m sure this is a long shot but is anyone attending MF near Dublin Corners Farm Brewery in NY? Some lovely people from there had lunch at the brewery I work at the other day and now I’m super curious about their stuff. If anyone is able to get their hands on some of their stuff (preferably IPA) and is willing to mule it out to me I’ll pay you back and will would appreciate it! Can’t wait to see everyone!

I'm about 45 minutes away. I'm sure I can find some time between now and MF to check it out.

I don't see any issues reported on google maps getting from boston to there, but I wonder if @BadDNA has any local insight. St. johnsbury does report that it was affected, but I'm not sure how severely.

With all the reports of flooding, do we think we're going to have any issues with getting to the East Burke next week?
I think we are going to have to keep an eye on it. Flooding in the area was significant with large portions of downtown Lyndonville under water. I don’t think you were able to get through that area to East Burke today. I guess we’ll just have to see how it works out over the next few days.
