S81127 (the rcad f.orn Franklinton to Pocomokelso we werc
forced to use NC56. NC56 also caLses the .oute to be a cou
ple miles longe.than desirabe However BobbyPowe and
Tom Shetield liked it so much lastyear ldecided notto
change lt. Also, going thnough Pocomoke would cause the
cou.se to have less than 5OOO ftverticaland lthink that
would be a shame The factthe course has 5OOO+ ftvertcal
shou d be a good marketinq starjstic for drcwing nlders f.om
