Join the gang for our annual top-down celebration of the new year! This will be a clean-roads-only event, and we will not be stopping anywhere for lunch this time (you might want to bring a snack for en-route munching), due to the COVID-19 situation. We will meet in the Weis Market parking lot, near their Gas & Go facility, off PA Route 100 in Fogelsville, PA. The route will take us along fun roads in Berks, Schuylkill and Lehigh Counties, and we will have our traditional comfort break, and, of course, our photo-op with the Hawk, at the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. The drive will end at the intersection of Old Route 22 and PA-100, which is just north of I-78.
This event will follow the current Pennsylvania rules for COVID-19 safety. We will require that all participants maintain six-foot social distancing, and we will require masks to be worn when not in our cars. 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, stating that you intend to participate, to be your “electronic” signature, indicating your agreement with said Waiver and Release (copy available on request).
We are limiting the number of cars on this drive to 30, and we will be leading two groups of cars, to ensure a safe, enjoyable drive with minimal waits for regrouping, and we are giving participation priority to paid LVMOC members. We will use FRS radios for communication. Be sure to arrive at the departure point with a full gas tank and an empty bladder!

is Saturday the alternate date? Looking like rain on Friday.
We're considering moving to Saturday or Sunday. We'll watch the forecast for a couple of days before we decide.

55 degrees on saturday
Nhet said thank you very much for the birthday wishes and extends her best wishes for a happy and safe new year. She'll do some events next year depending on the COVID situation.

Due to forecasted poor weather on Friday, January 1 (Freezing rain in a.m., rain in p.m., 90% chance overall, high temp ~ 40), we are changing the date of this drive to Saturday, January 2. Saturday's forecast is for a high of ~ 55 degrees with mostly cloudy skies, but no precip.

For those that will need to know, the Weis will be open and has a bathroom.
Just to put it out there, the Gas N' Go is not a very big space, and it looks like we are going to have a large number of cars.
Connected to the shopping center parking lot (in which you can find the Gas N' Go), is LVHN Express Care. This is a big lot that will be very empty at this time of day.
Either way, when starting the drive, we should leave at the Express Care end of the lot. This will keep us from having to deal with conflicting traffic coming into the shopping center, and there is plenty of room on Route 100 southbound to pack up going out of the parking lot.
A while back, I posted a video of a Jeep club getting together in this location, and you can see some of the problems they had with conflicting traffic because they tried to leave on the south side of the lot, across from Madeline's.
Yes, the Weis market will be open... I had already checked that.
In my initial post, I noted that we would meet in the Weis market lot, near the Gas N' Go, not in the Gas 'N Go, itself. I now highlighted this, to make it more clear.
The starting point will remain in the Weis Market lot, as I have posted. There is ample room to gather the group after leaving Weis. My route sheet mileages are based on that, and I won't be changing them at this late date.

So it will depend if I can get the car around the giant snow mound, it’s still there but it’s melted significantly.
Also does anyone know how the roads are regarding salt and stuff ?
I am going to do my best
