anyone else going? [www.climbtotheclouds.com](http://www.climbtotheclouds.com) I’m planning on heading up Saturday morning, staying Saturday and Sunday nights. Staying at the Royalty Inn in Gorham (alot of the hotels are filling up, so reserve now) All the info is on the site, but apparently this year you’ll need to buy event tickets to gain access… then if you want to spectate from the halfway point (the best viewing IMO apart from being a course worker) you need to buy a ticket for that, AT THE EVENT. I went to the last official race there in 2001, and it was fucking amazing. ---

I was going to head out and stay at Sam 's dad’s place which was right on the mountain but work/timing just never panned out to my benefit. Going to be nuts though. Be sure to get good footage/pics of Mike Ryan’s run in the Freightliner! That thing is absolutely ridiculous and is going to be a beast going up that stretch of road. ---

4.5 hours from albany I was just up there over the weekend. I think driving the auto road is scarier than hiking the mountain on foot. As a cheaper alternative to staying in Gorham you can camp at Dolly Copp campground right down the road from the mountain. Its 20 bucks a night for one car. 5 bucks for one additional car. They have bathrooms and showers on the grounds too. ---

Unlikely, I’ll be working early in the morning on Sat, and have suspension adjustment date with Rocketpunch on Sun morning. Take some pictures however! ---
