Ct Fall Foliage Cruise Sunday Oct 25th!

Meeting at the commuter parking lot in Cheshire CT off I84. From there we will cruise about a half hour up Rt8 North till the expressway ends and there will be a chance to gas up. From there we will cruise through Litchfield County and Goshen along some scenic roadways and through a covered bridge on the way to Kent Falls State Park where you will have some time to walk up along the falls and take pictures and another bathroom break. Leaving there we'll go to lunch at 1st and Ten.

Anyone who wants to meet us at 1st & Ten without going on the cruise, we should be there noonish.

When we leave 1st & Ten, we are going right by On Track Karting, its 5 miles and less than 5 minutes away. Anyone want to try and beat Chuck?? 1st and ten is less than 10 minutes from I84 east and west.

Meeting time is 9:00,
Departure time is 9:15
Meeting spot is the commuter parking lot just North of I84 exit 26, if coming from the west, take a left at the traffic light at the end of the ramp, straight through the next light, and the lot is on your left, if coming from the east, take a right at the end of the ramp and the lot is on your left.

Please note they instituted a fee last year to enter the park: $9.00 for Ct residents and $15.00 for out of staters.

I found my way around Ohio without GPS so it is possible. Must be the tradespeople gene in this Dutch guy with navigation as a sub-gene.

[ViperTony]

Listen Super Charger Kid...I bet I can find Kent falls without a GPS!!

Hmm....I don't think his GPS is reliable....it did take him off-road at TOD, after all. :monkeyleft:

Peter, I hope your feeling better. If you can make it, that would be great and we would all like to see you there. If not, that's ok and just take care of yourself and be well. There will always be more events when you feel up to it.

[viperjimmy]

Now that's a Viper Cruise! We reach 1st & 10 about noon, then it's apps and lunch, we could always ask them to rush your order so you can get out sooner for the drive home if you wish.

[Red venom]

Is this cruise happening even if it rains?

[viperjimmy]

I"m not worried about rain, they are cars, they get wet when we wash them right? I don't think we'll see anything anyway. Well at least its not 6-6-6! lol Looking forward to to Sunday!!

[vipertank]

Hey Jimmy, if no rain, me and my wife will join you at 1st and 10 if that's ok. I have to take care of a few things in the morning, so we can't do the whole cruise, but would like to see you all at lunch. That ok?

Sounds like a plan Kerrie. Say hi to Rusty for me.

[viperjimmy]

Thank you every one the came, drove the drive, saw the sights, took the scenic route in the woods (you know who you are, I'll have a rescue squad on hand next time) (you can borrow a personal GPS next year), and ate to their fill. It was a little wet/rainy at the start, but turned out to be a nice day, even had some sunshine.

[Evil v10]

Thanks again to everyone who came and New England club for a great showing and driving long distances to join in the fun. Hats off to you! Here is the link: https://goo.gl/photos/tPRLb77K9HbQ8Qpc7

It was a great day! Thanks for hosting the New England crew. Thanks to the owner of the restaurant for that giant app that was on the house, it must have been 10 lbs and I ate 7 lbs of it. The falls was beautiful the trek through the woods on the way back was nice. Jimmy your ride was great, good roads and great views. Thanks again, looking forward to seeing you guys soon. Steve it was nice to meet up and talk to you as well! Martin-

[Evil v10]
