THE 863 ADVENTURE DRIVE

When -                 Saturday, August 29, 2020 AND SUNDAY AUGUST 30!!! Due to possible inclimate weather on Saturday,  I will lead a drive both days! If you wake up Saturday and decide "not today" please sign up on this thread for Sunday (as signing up is also a waiver). You may want to do both days too!

                                  Arrive at: 9:00 a.m.

                                  Drivers' Meeting: 9:15 a.m.

                                  Depart:  9:30 a.m. 

Where -                Key Bank, Macungie

                                  201 West Main St. (PA Route 100)

                                  Macungie, PA Location

Event Leader -  Louie Draxler

LVMOC V.P. Louie Draxler will lead a drive along the winding roads of Lehigh and Berks Counties, including our long-time favorite stretch of PA Route 863 (enough turns & hills to keep you smiling!)  The details are still in the planning stage, but Louie is hoping that we can end the drive by dining at the Alburtis Tavern's outdoor seating area.  The Tavern has indoor and outdoor seating right now. They are not taking reservations due to Covid-19, instead, it is first come, first served.  They believe we can be accommodated, just not seated together.  Please let Louie know if you wish to go to the Tavern!

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 (or stuffing our faces with ice cream).  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 😏.

Attending Saturday:

  1. Louie & Corrina (Tavern x 2)
  2. Tony B. (Tavern x 1)
  3. Ed G. (Tavern)
  4. Gail & Bill (Tavern x 2)
  5. Michele (Tavern x 1)
  6. Bill D (No lunch)
  7. Jordan (Maybe)

     2. Tom D (No lunch) 

     3. Mike C. (No lunch)

Please add Tom to the adventure. I'd also be happy to serve as tail, if needed.

Corrina and I did our final pre-run. The drive is 3 hours. Possibly a little bit more depending on speed, including our 15 minute comfort break at Leaser LLake.we should be eating lunch at 12:30 or so.            Louie

Side note: there has been a member request for Barns on our journey.  At least a "Barn Factor ". In this case, this ride has a Barn factor greater than 50. That is, more than 50 barns, of varying pedigree.

You are in luck Tom! I saw 3 people walking dogs on the pre-run. There is a development near the Tavern that has what must be the healthiest community in the world. I never saw so many people (some with dogs!) out walking, jogging, and even skateboarding. I feel relatively confident that there will be at least one dog on display for your Kodak moment!

Please check back Friday night to make sure we are not getting hit by a hurricane and unable to do this drive. As of now, we are still good!!

It is such a refined car. I bet you feel like a baller!!

On a completely different note, elections are coming up. I intend to run for president.  Think about running for office. I am nominating you for the office of your choice. New car, new enthusiasm!

Please do. Walter called off a drive earlier this year due to the forecast,  and it was unnecessary.  I want to stack in as many drives as possible this year. Last year we did 16, which I was told was a lot.SSo I am going to the edge on this one.

If you aren't living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
