I got lost just reading those directions! They should be excellent control line fliers as much as they like what we call "roundAbouts" they call roatays! Just drive in circles. RC Plane

I have been on all those roads mentioned. Pre GPS days it was easy (but enjoyable) to get lost. Bought my first car near route 107, continue north and 107 goes right through my old home town of Raymond.

Some of the most picturesque country anywhere.

I don't plan on attending. I have a band-gig tonight down in Jamestown, RI that will likely have me getting home between 3-4 tomorrow morning. Rainy weather will make for slow driving too.

Saugus, MA weather is forecasted to be clearing tonight, with a 20% chance of rain on Sunday, winds 10-15 mph with a high of 60 degrees F.

Even using a GPS.. I'd surely get lost attempting to drive there. Laughing
