Event Leader -  Walter Cramer

Join Walter for another new Drive.  This Drive will be about 130 miles in length, with approximately 100 of those miles on our beloved Miata roads.  The additional 30 miles is four lane travel back to our ice cream destination in the Lehigh Valley.  We will have a rest stop at the Delaware Water Gap Welcome Center and picnic lunch at the Big Pocono State Park which at the top of the mountain above Camelback Ski Area and Water Park.  For those interested, we will be ending the drive with Ice Cream at the Klein Farms Dairy & Creamery, north of Easton. With driving, rest stop, lunch and ice cream, this could end up being a 5 1/2 - 6 hour day.  Of course, you can drive to your hearts content and pull off when you’ve had enough.

The views from Big Pocono State Park are exhilarating.  Looking South we see the Delaware Water Gap to our left, Wind Gap area in the center, and the Lehigh Gap to our right.  Looking North you will enjoy more great views of the Pocono Region.

We will be gathering at the Shell Station, 428 Nor Bath Boulevard, Northampton. The Shell Station is at the intersection of route 329 and Howertown Road. We will gather at 9:00 - ish with a Driver’s meeting at 9:15 and a departure time of 9:30.

This event will follow the current Pennsylvania rules for COVID-19 safety.  To avoid common handling of materials, we will email the directions to participants, for home printing, and we will eliminate the usual paper sign-in sheet.  Since the sign-in confirms your agreement with LVMOC’s standard Waiver and Release, we will now consider your post to this event thread, indicating that you intend to participate, to be your “electronic” signature, indicating your agreement with said Waiver and Release (copy available on request).

We will use FRS radios for communications.  Be sure to arrive by 9:00 a.m. with a full gas tank and an empty bladder .
