I have no idea where I am going yet. However you can ask me where I'm going
next.
I bet I wont be anywhere near Seattle for the NFC traffic jam.
Go Carolina!!!
It is unnatural for the seahawks to get this far.

> I'll be on both Saturday and Sunday. The plan is to start up at a high
altitude from FM08. From there I will run through FM09 and FM19. Then I'll
be heading south. I'll pick up FM18, then FM17 and FM07. On Sunday I should
make it to the corner of EM96, EM97, FM06 and FM07. I may be able to catch
FM16, along with FM17, FM07, FM08 and FM18 on the way home.

probably not enough time. As Bill always said "listen for the weak ones"
and rotate those beams to other than the Northeast.
