Event Leaders -  David & Janice Sell

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.

Your registration in this Forum thread confirms your agreement with LVMOC’s standard Waiver and Release, and we will 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 will use FRS radios for communications.  Don't forget your winter gear!!

Well, Dave, you have picked out a perfect weather day for this Drive. I know that because Nancy and I are unable to attend. We are going to an Iron Pigs game that day.  Enjoy your Drive.

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.

Thanks, Tom... I'm already thinking of some new twisty additions for next year... 🤔
