If any of you would like to test your navigational skills, this is a great way to do it.
Last year’s event was won by a guy in a 152 with his eight-year-old daughter acting as navigator. They even beat two members of this list who teamed up in a hot RV and then couldn’t find one of the check points.
If you would like to try your hand at turning off your GPS, contact John Wigney or Sam Stewart (email addresses below).

Bill,
I checked my calendar and I do have to replace my smoke detector batteries on August 16th, however if Stripes can stand the embarrassment two years in a row perhaps we can team up for a repeat.
