************** NEW DATE! *******************************************
Join us Saturday, September 27, for our yearly drive tradition with MINI and MIATA friends.
This year we begin at MINI of Allentown. First leg will wind through the countryside backroads of Lehigh and Carbon Counties. Fun roads are plenty, stop signs are not! We will take a short break at Walmart, Lehighton.
After our break we will get some excellent twisted roads including the famously twisted Wildcat and New Philadelphia roads! We put together a great day of driving some crazy fun roads!
Lunch break will be atop the mountain at Thunderhead Lodge where the Appalachian Trail crosses 309.
After lunch if you haven't had enough fun, we can recommend following us for a short bonus leg to Bear Rock Junction to finish the day with ice cream, go karts and fall festivities including a haunted train ride or a challenging corn maze.

Haley and I would attend lunch but we are leaving to attend a family birthday dinner later in the day. No one heard it from me but Haley turns 15 on the 26th. So that means next year around this time, she'll be driving and I'll be navigating. 🙂
Please add Louie and Corrina, plus lunch.
Hey Louie, I'll have those black lug nuts in the trunk if you are still interested.
