Well, for the most part, it's attendance, last time we did it, two other AVs came, and only two went to the top. Second thing, is my AV is 14yrs old, and just want to keep mileage and maintenance down. After my recent trip to TN for the Nats, I had an incident that almost left me stranded (brakes almost caught fire from heating up going down a steep grade from 6000ft). I will admit that the 90* air temp had something to do with it. But all in all, I revived the 'Cruise the Whites' cruise 5yrs ago, and I'm at the point where I'm ready to pass the torch, and whether it continues or dies is up to the AV members in New England. I do feel that the region is virtually dead, there has been little to no life for two years. I'm not even an official New England area member, but I've tried numerous times to start something and get no replies, or people reply but say they are busy. Whatever, I am done with the whites.
