It’s getting kinda hectic.

Well Monday has come and gone and I am still working on the Maps. I will have them up as soon as I can. I got a call from American Andy this morning letting me know that I can pick up our T-shirts and Posters! YEA! I also found out this morning that the chase truck needs more work ($$$$$.$$) than we thought. I think that is it. Oh yea both my shovels are down and I need to finish the sweater I have been knitting for Spike’s birthday. Back to work.

Hotels

Here are some Hotels for the guys coming from out of town. For the Pre Run Party. There is a map below with all the hotels near Indian Larry’s. Before the run starts the closest Hotels to Cool Beans is in Paramus. A bunch of guys stayed at the La Quninta last year. Click here for a map with all the local hotels. After the run I have some reconditions. There are some sketchy places near the party, so try one of these. They are within a mile or so of the party.

Nice and cheap.
