I have been going the last five years.  It would be next to impossible to visit all 23 layouts. so good luck.  I try to go to the new ones and back to the ones I really enjoy.  I thank everyone who is involved and of course Bruce for organizing it.  I'll see you  there.

I live in southern N.H. and both times I have gone before I made it to all of the layouts in N.H. and Mass.I don't think it will be a problem this year.

The link in the original post is actually just one for adding a post to this forum.  Do you have a Tour de Chooch link?  Thanks.

And yes, Ty, they do this every year.  I don't have this year's schedule, but in past years the southern New Hampshire layouts have been on Saturday and the Massachusetts ones on Sunday.

I love the Tour de Chooch. I've spent the last two years helping fellow club members in New Hampshire to run their layouts during their sessions. I highly recomend anyone who can attend to do so, there are some great layouts on the tour.

The Saturday (NH) layouts were great.  Now comes Sunday in Mass.  We need away to get rid of all that traffic so we can get to all the layouts!

Okay..okay...You were right! I couldn't make it to all of the layouts,But I did give it a valiant effort..I went to 7 in New Hampshire yesterday..and 6 in Mass today,However I got a late start and finished up an hour and a half early,I could have gained 2 1/2 hours more time today had I planned right...My fault but I think it could still be done.. It was an Excellent tour as always!!

I highly recommend this tour in the FutureThumbs Up [tup]

I did six on Saturday and five today.  I took my time.  I could have visited more.  All were great, really like those N scale ones.
