Margaret and I took about four hours driving up today along the non-highway route 16, via the new Farm restaurant in Dover, NH. Pretty good time, since lunch was an hour …
But now we are back at the Attitash waiting slightly impatiently for more MINIs to arrive (there’s a few here, including Ivan and Cathryn, MINI-less, and Tonine from MINI USA); meanwhile GPMINI is dirty from all the rain on the way up, but settled for the night now …
M&I / GBMINI 
You should have waited for them all to be there and then made a royalty-appropriate entrance with them all bowing down before you.
Plenty of time for that I suppose.
