We're going to try again to get this drive on the road...
And, again, I am limiting participation to 15 cars.
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. If anyone is still hungry or just wants to have a cold, post-drive beer, Hops Fogelsville Hotel is near the drive's end point. There is also a Cracker Barrel in Fogelsville.

Thanks to the folks who joined us today for this drive. For once, the weather forecast was accurate and we had a nice, sunny day. A special thank-you to Joe and Zach, who served as the group's "tail", and to Janice, who helped keep us on course (not even one U-turn 🤗!). I hope everyone enjoyed the drive!

The third time was definitely the charm on this one. A big thank you to Janice and David for leading the drive. Great roads, weather and company. Could not have been better.
