Event Leader -  Walter Cramer

Join Walter on another Miata excursion into the Pocono Region.  Along with enjoying 103 plus miles of Miata roads, this Drive features lunch, at the Snydersville Family Diner, and, for dessert, Ice Cream at Jane’s Ice Cream and Eatery.  We will also visit the Francis E. Walter Dam and take a drive around Lake Harmony, at the Split Rock Lodge in Luzerne County.  Looking South from the Dam head one can view the beginning of the Lehigh Gorge State Park, which extends South into the Lehighton area. 

The first leg of travel is approximately 55 miles in length, with our rest stop at WAWA, on Route 940, in one hour and fifty five minutes.  Our second leg of travel is approximately 48 miles in length, and our rest stop is at the Snydersville Family Diner, in one hour and fifty minutes.

If you have never visited the Francis E. Walter Dam or taken a Miata drive around Lake Harmony, this is Drive is a must.

The Drive will end at Jane's Ice Cream and Eatery, near Stroudsburg.  Following a five to six hour day, the forty minute travel back to the Lehigh Valley is via four lane roads.

We will gather at the Shell Station, 428 Nor Bath Boulevard, Northampton.  The Shell Station is at the intersection of Route 329 and Howertown Road.  We will meet at ~9:00 with a Driver’s meeting at 9:30 and a departure time of 9:45.

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 .

This is now our 30th Run of the year.
