You are invited to join in on a cruise from Yorktown Va to Jamestown Virginia along the scenic Colonial Parkway to enjoy the Autumn coolness and colors. We will be stopping in Colonial Williamsburg for 2 hours so everyone can eat, shop, tour the historic area, or anything else you wish. I am the cruise coordinator and the host club is the Tidewater Mopar Club with several of us representing the VOA. There will be many Vipers, Challengers, Hellcats, and other classic Mopars attending. The event is November 7. Here is the contact info and agenda:

Thanks for posting this! I'll push the information out in an email as I know many VA/MD club members do not check this forum.

Best,

Due to a 100% chance of rain Saturday, I am delaying the cruise one day to Sunday the 8'th. All times, meeting places, stops, etc. are identical, just on Sunday. Hope you can make it.
