OK, here we go… April is approaching so it’s time for the 5th Annual Bert’s Run. The date has been adjusted to accommodate a few members with date conflict’s which I’m sure will create a few more. Sorry, but you all know how that goes. The key is to pick a day that minimizes the conflicts and go with it.

Each year’s meet is bigger than the last. We’ve always had great turnouts, even in last year’s treacherous storm. We didn’t have much time outside with our cars but that gave us more time to enjoy the ice cream social. Let’s hope for go weather like the previous events.

Please post up with your intentions. Are you coming? How many in your pit crew?

Look forward to seeing everyone again!

To go for lunch? How long do you think that will take to live down :(

Seriously though, I almost didn't make it through a movie the other day. No way could I even consider a 6-7 hr drive. Maybe next year. Even Carlisle is up in the air right now. Should know more tomorrow.

Chris and I drove to Boston one year just for lunch. Returned home during the blizzard of the year; drove over the GW Bridge, which had been closed, and spent the night in NJ.

Welcome to the CAM! You'll get to meet some great folks with really nicely modified and stock MM's and usually a Crown Vic or two.

Sorry, gang, but I'm going to have to pass this time. The ole' silver beast didn't get out of Ted Britt Ford in Chantilly in time (oil leak in the timing chain cover and oil pan) and I'm stuck with the loaner Focus or my GTI. Y'all have a good time and I'll see you at the next meet.

It ain't just about the ice cream or the food. CAM is about friends hanging out together and enjoying stuff they have in common. This is your chance to meet many of the members of CAM and this outing is shaping up to be quite a turnout approaching about 30 cars. Next year we're gonna call it CAMmerville VI. ;)

Hope all is working out OK with the family emergency and I understand about making the trip to Kentucky. Just made that one myself -- down to Louisville on 26 Mar and back again on 28 Mar followed by a trip to Baltimore and back. Its easy in an MM. :D

Well, we had a good time at Bert's this afternoon . As Bert's is just 15 minutes from the homestead, we were there. Mother Nature held off the rain until after everybody was on their way home,...it was "spitting" as I backed my MM back into the garage.

I posted some pics into the gallery, Keyword is Bert's.

Had a good time meeting other CAM'rs. It's great to live in an area now that has a lot of "close-by" MM'rs to have fun with, though cruzin down to KC and over into Iowa was fun when we resided in Nebraska.

Got the Misses involved with this meet, NOW she's hooked... :beer:
