(See attached email and map for information concerning the tour. LEAVE ALL YOUR SHARP POINTY THINGS IN YOUR VEHICLE AS YOU WILL BE GOING THROUGH A METAL DETECTOR) Feel free to explore until we all meet up at 12:45pm.

- Keep your headlights on for safety and to let traffic know where our last car is.
- Keep the gap between cars no more than 3-4 car lengths.
- Please, no racing or driving irresponsibly.
- If you have OMC magnets, please display on your car during the pony drive.
- The lead vehicle, a vehicle in the middle of the cars and the tail car will all be in contact with one another, this allows the car closest to the event to notify the lead vehicle. (Vehicle with a flat, a group of vehicles have been separated at traffic lights etc…)
Directions to the Destination:
