<p><span style="font-size: 12pt">For the fifth consecutive year, LVMOC has had the good fortune to be invited by Chapter 839 of the Eastern Experimental Aircraft Association, on May 17, 2026, to a pancake breakfast ($8 contribution per person), an aircraft fly-in and a car show (LVMOC member cars and classic British cars, from the Keystone British Car Club) at the Pegasus Airpark, near Brodheadsville, PA.  EAA Chapter 839 will have their aircraft on display and many will be taking off and landing on the airfield during the event.  In addition, they will be offering free airplane rides for kids ages 8-17!  <span>Last year the British Car Club displayed some very interesting British cars!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt">About the <a href="https://www.eaa839.com/home" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 839</a>:  It operates at Pegasus Airpark, a small turf airfield near Stroudsburg.

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt">Monthly Pancake Breakfast / Car show / Aircraft events are held by EAA Chapter 839 to raise funds for their operations.  As noted above, 2026 is the fifth year in which LVMOC has been invited to display our cars as a feature of the event.  <strong> <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-qYy7gw5XjUB1PR-7R5uqKYf8T9YsWUP" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow noopener">Here are some photos of our group at the 2021 event</a>.  </strong>(Select "Grid Layout" to display)</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt">BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!  After we are done enjoying the airshow (at around 11:30 - 12:00), we will gather our group of Miatas and embark on a drive of about 40 miles over some fun roads before having lunch and ICE CREAM! </span><span style="font-size: 16px">(probably at the Blue Mountain Drive-in, in Danielsville)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt">Please join us!  This will only cost $8.00 (alright, $10 if you round up for a good cause) to participate in a car show, have your child or grandchild ride in an airplane and have a fun Miata drive for ice cream!</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Date:</strong><span> Sunday, June 7th</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Start &amp; End Location:</strong><span> Weis Markets, 3440 Grandview Dr, Macungie, PA 18062</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Lunch Stop:</strong><span> Yoder's Restaurant &amp; Buffet, 14 S Tower Rd, New Holland, PA 17557</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Arrival Time:</strong><span> 9:00 AM</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Driver’s Meeting:</strong><span> 9:15 AM</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Departure Time:</strong><span> 9:30 AM</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Back by popular demand! After first running this route as our </span><span>Black Friday Pilgrimage</span><span>, we’re bringing it back for a June Sunday — same great roads, same great buffet, and none of the mall traffic.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>We’ll roll out from Weis Markets and head into Berks and Lancaster County for a spirited 57‑mile run through rolling farmland, wooded stretches, and quiet rural communities. We’ll make a brief rest stop along the way before continuing on to Yoder’s for lunch.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Yoder’s Restaurant &amp; Buffet serves up Pennsylvania Dutch comfort food, homestyle entrées, fresh‑baked goods, and generous salad and dessert bars — a perfect mid‑drive feast before we head back out.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>After lunch, we’ll take a different 57‑mile route back toward Macungie, again with a short rest stop to stretch and regroup. Expect a lively mix of flowing backroads and open countryside as we make our way home.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Each direction is about 1 hour and 45 minutes of spirited driving with great scenery and great company — whether you joined us for the Black Friday edition or you’re hopping in for the first time, it’s a fantastic way to spend a Sunday.</span></p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WESTWARD HO 2026 EDITION</p>
<p><strong>When:</strong> Saturday, May 23, 2026</p>
<p><strong>Arrive:</strong> 8:45 a.m</p>
<p><strong>Driver's Meeting:</strong> 9:15 a.m.</p>
<p><strong>Depart: 9:30 a.m.</strong> See NOTE below.</p>
<p><strong>Where:</strong> Macungie, PA - WEIS Market parking lot 3440 Grandview Drive Macungie, PA    <span style="color: #0000ff">40.518382, -75.566829</span></p>
<p><strong>End:</strong> Eight Oaks Farm Distillery &amp; Kitchen, PA 309, New Tripoli</p>
<p><strong>Event Leaders:</strong> Dave Povenski, driver (a.k.a. the stig) &amp; Michele Kane, navigator.</p>
<p>Limit of 10 cars + ours (total of 11). If more than 10 sign up, you will be waitlisted. We often have cancellations. If you are new to the club and haven’t done one of our drives yet, I suggest you don’t start with this one.</p>
<p>Paid members will be given priority.</p>
<p>NOTE: We will be leaving precisely @ 9:30. Gas, restrooms and food are available at the WEIS and at the nearby Wawa. Plan accordingly. We want to get to Buddy's at a less busy time for brunch.</p>
<p>Because we use the facilities at Hawk Mountain for this drive, Polar Bear and occasionally others, I would appreciate each driver donating $5 to help them out with the wonderful work they do. I will collect during the driver's meeting. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT.</p>
<p>Length: 170 miles of some very entertaining roads, one of which we will run in both directions. You may want to bring a snack and beverage - and you must have a full tank of gas at the start.</p>
<p>Stops: Hawk Mountain (mi 32), brunch at "Buddy's Log Cabin" (mi 62), Onvo (mi 115), and Heisler's Cloverleaf Dairy for ICE CREAM (mi 150), and finishing at Eight Oaks Farm Distillery &amp; Kitchen (mi 170)</p>
<p>Needless to say, this is an all-day drive. Plan accordingly!</p>

<p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Join Domenic and Cindy on an extended Miata Drive that will have us driving 115 miles of a blend of touring roads and our beloved Miata roadways in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These are the exact roads of my Amanda’s Riverside Cafe Lunch Drive. Unfortunately, Amanda’s Riverside Cafe is no more. The building is empty and up for Rent.</p>
<p>On this Drive, we will be crossing the “free bridge” at Northampton Street in Easton and driving through Warren and Hunterdon Counties in New Jersey. Our first rest stop, after an hour and thirty-five minutes of driving, has us at a Walmart SuperCenter in Hackettstown, NJ. Our next leg of 39 miles has us crossing the Delaware River back into Pennsylvania at Milford and arriving at the Tinicum Park in Upper Black Eddy, PA on Route 32<span> </span><strong>to enjoy our delicious picnic lunch</strong><span> </span>in the 12:30 - 1:00 range. The Park has Restrooms and Picnic Tables. Our final leg of travel has us enjoying Miata roads in Bucks and Northampton Counties and after an hour and ten minutes of driving, we are concluding the Drive in the area of the View Restaurant atop Morgan Hill and very near Route 78.</p>
<p>If after lunch you would prefer to travel a more direct route back into New Jersey or into the Easton area, you can opt to navigate North on Route 32 from Tinicum Park.</p>
<p>If you have camping chairs, it would be a good idea to toss them into your trunk.</p>

<p>Join Walter for a 92 mile Drive in Northampton and Monroe Counties into the Pocono Mountain Region. Both legs of travel are an hour and a half in length. We will be having a picnic lunch at Big Pocono State Park which sits atop Camelback mountain. On a clear day, Big Pocono State Park provides wonderful views of the Delaware Water Gap, Wind Gap and the Lehigh Gap, as well as views into the Northern Pocono Mountain Region. Hopefully, we will also see some Fall colors, both on our Drive and during lunch. </p>
<p>The Drive will end with Blue Moo Ice Cream on route 946 just North of Bath.</p>
<p>Big Pocono State Park provides picnic benches, however, if you care for back support, you may want to include camping chairs in your trunk. The Park also provides restrooms.</p>
