The instructions are designed to keep the cars on course so that the crews can focus on finding the clues along the way. Expect sixty or so miles prior to lunch and similar after lunch.

  • Rally begins in the parking lot of the Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck, New York, at 9:15 AM on Saturday, 25 October.
  • Lunch will be in Amenia, NY and one can order what one desires.
