We talked about this now lets promote it and work out the details here.

Maryland Meet - Saturday, November 17
Cunningham Falls - Thurmont, Maryland
Houck Lake Area - Upper Parking Lot
Meeting Time - 11:30 AM

We met here last year and had the entire upper lot to ourselves to show off our Tibs. The area is really pretty, so I hope there are a few leaves left on the trees. There is a lake and the falls are a short hike from the parking area. There is other hiking in the area and there are some scenic overlook spots within the park area.

There was talk at meeting at park & rides in the area and driving together from these locations to the park. I think its best we avoid malls and private property. From Baltimore there is a convenient Park & Ride at exit 62 (New Market - Libertytown) which is 8 minutes to Frederick Route 15. From Washington/Northern VA there is the scenic overlook right off of 270 just two miles south of Frederick.
Lets talk about times and places to meet and ride to the falls together.

The extended weather forecast for next Saturday is partly sunny highs about 53. Dress warmly with the falls and lake it will be cold and damp.

There is a $3 fee to get into the park for MD residents, $4 for out-of-state. Last year there was no attendent, it was an honor system (We all were honest).

Note: There are no food services here, maybe one soda machine, they have restrooms (they may be locked off-season) and portajohns. There are plenty of places in Thurmont to eat.

Here is the link to the park for more information. There are maps for the roads and trails here too.

So I know SD and I are meeting at the DD off of 40 east. If anyone else in the area would like to meet up with us thats cool. One question though are we meeting at the falls at 10 or the park and rides at 10 and shoot for 11:30-12:00 for the falls?

Lets get it on!!!!

Lets get some time some consensus on a time. I am flexible for any time. My day is totally free.

Post up if anyone is interested at meeting at the park and ride right off of the Boonsboro / Smithsburgh exit off of 70. Otherwise I will just meet up with everyone at the falls and I agree that we need to have a specified time to meet at the falls.

So here is a strory for the books. Me and my boy were coming home after a night at the bar. So im about to pull onto 100 and what pops out right in front of me a DUI check point. So I slam on my breaks screeeeech. At this point im freaking out cause i dont have the time or money to pay for a DUI and I just took a shot of tequila before i left. SO anyway I throw it in reverse and floor it i must if been doing 40 in reverse. I pull off on to 108 as im doing this i put my back end onto a curb "$hit". Im still baffled how the cops did not follow me cause it was pretty obvious what I was doing. So I pull into a mcdonalds parking lot and CHILL for a little bit. Trying to figure out how im going to get out of this one. So I hop back in my car and start to drive off and wouldent you know it my alignment is all messed up. So i took it to the dealership and the are fixing it thank god for warrenty. Anway thought you guys would enjoy that one. Hope you all have learned something from this little tale of mine.:3_headsha

Been checking the long-term weather forecast...next Saturday is partly cloudy high of 52. Not too bad just dress warmly. So I am hearing this right the suggestion is to meet a the Falls at 11:30 - 12:00. Sound off - what time is good for you guys? Lets get this time set. At least a later time will give me time to finish detailing my ride on Saturday morning.

ok check this just brought my 03 tibby from jones junction used cars in october and alreay have to have the cluch, pressure plate, and flywheel replace for something cold start jitter. dealer is not trying to cover this. there reason for not knowing about this is cause it was warm out side when i purchase the car. has anyone have had this problem and is there any sugguestion to due about this. oh ya its a wooping 2286 dollar repair hmmmm....something doesn't sound right
 
#21 ·
No that sounds about right, what you should do is go out and buy a new CM clutch stage 3, fidanza flywheel, and call it a day. That right there will cost you about 800 or so if purchased separately. Install is insanely difficult, look to spend another 800 or so for that.

Dont put the OEM clutch / flywheel back in the 03's.
 
#27 ·
Yeah I had my clutch go at 50K miles on my 2003 Tib, but I think I only paid about $1,200 to get it replaced at the dealer. If it goes again I am going with an after market clutch. I've got 92K miles on my Tib right now, keeping my fingers crossed. I think your quote is way too inflated.

Last year everyone hung out, took pics, talked about our cars, and showed off our rides. We ended up hiking up to the falls and getting pizza late in the day in Thurmont at Pizza Hut. Anyone have any other suggestions. I went hiking at Harpers Ferry this weekend and the views are still pretty nice, still leaves on the trees with lots of color. Hope it stays for one more week.
