It is again time for the summer version of LVMOC's annual New Year's Day Polar Bear Drive. For the UN-Polar Bear Drive, our hardy entourage will gather, in mid-summer, with their winter gear stored in their trunks (including ski hats, mitts, jackets, wool scarves, shovels, etc.) and then pose in that gear while baking under the hot sun for a photo shoot 
. This is followed by the quick shedding of gear and a drive that includes curves and cones... Ice Cream Cones, that is (after all, we must involve something icy!).
This will be a PICNIC LUNCH drive! Our lunch / ice cream stop will be at Heisler's Cloverleaf Dairy, near Tamaqua, for treats that should be appropriate for what will hopefully be a warm, sunny day. We suggest that you bring a picnic lunch, or, if you wish, Heisler's has burgers, hot dogs, barbeque, pierogies, etc. There is a covered pavilion with tables and benches, or you might want to bring camping / folding chairs.
After visiting Heisler's, we will follow more fun roads to the drive's end, back in Fogelsville near the intersection of Main St (Old U.S. 22) and PA-100. The total length of the drive will be around 100 miles.

Dave, this Drive has received the most "complementary messages" and "Thank You" posts in a long time.
Well done in putting together a fine time and fine roads for our Club Members. It is messages like this that will be bringing more and more new members to our events.
Thanks, Walter. I hope that, by showing that creating and leading a drive is fun and rewarding (and, yes, a bit of work is involved), other members are encouraged to take us on tours of their favorite roads, too!

A little late but a round of applause for Dave! As always, he picked some great roads to travel and it seems as though Walter gave him the secret to conjuring up nice weather as the rain held off. 😉 Also, thanks to Dave and Michele for taking on the tail role in my group and for the recommendation of staying with the group to drive Wildcat Road. It did not disappoint!
