Event Leaders -  Louie Draxler and Walter Cramer

We will be joined on the Sunday Drive by our friends from Lehigh Valley Mini. Not to be confused with PhillyMini. This is a truly Lehigh Valley M&M Drive. We hope to have a lot of Fall Fun together!!

PLEASE NOTE: UPDATE!!! THERE IS ONE COMFORT STOP 20 MILES INTO THE 70 TRIP.  After our ice cream, you can either wave goodbye, or head back into the Valley with Corrina and I. If so, we will be heading back on a 29 mile drive that ends at LCCC in Schnecksville, on Rte 309.  4 miles south on 309 is the 22/78 interchange.

We will be leaving Wawa and going over the mountain, hooking up with Vera Cruz Road and moving on some roads less traveled.  I have tried to incorporate a lot of roads that often get overlooked because we tend to use certain roads in this area for good reason. They are good roads.  But the Brit in me looks longingly at those B Roads, this time saying, "Right! Let's have a go, then!"

Please note: We will stop at at a Redners quick stop before Longacres. This will be a comfort stop. Longacres is open at 10:00 on Saturday and 1:00 on Sunday. Sunday will have us leaving an hour later than Saturday to accommodate.

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).

This drive will be limited to 26 cars, including the leaders, with priority given to paid LVMOC members.  WE HAVE TWO LEADERS, AND THEREFORE, TWO GROUPS EACH DAY.

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. Or, with enough time to fill your tank, and empty your bladder.
