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!

Good for Haley! What a trooper! Then again, what would you expect of a young Red Rover?
What a wonderful connection you have with your niece, Jeff
@flying-dutchman Hawk Mountain experience was still quite unique with the sudden change in weather. Here's the video from my dash cam that I also just shared on our group's facebook page 😀
Nobu, great video of our time atop Hawk Mountain. Hearing those "ice melting drops" striking your windshield brought back the feeling I had driving through the parking lot.
Nicely done.
Thanks for sharing the videos, Nobu 👍. Hearing the bits of melting ice falling from the tree branches onto us brings out the uniqueness of the experiences we've had over the years at the Hawk Mountain Preserve (naturally, one ice chunk went down the back of my neck, into my jacket 😆). The weather at that elevation has often been quite different from that at bottom of the mountain.
Below are some photos of our 1/1/18 visit to Hawk Mountain, with the temperature at 11 degrees! As you can see, we had the parking lot pretty much to ourselves that year!
