Meeting at the commutor 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.

Bring some comfortable hiking boots/sneakers if you want to walk the trail up to the top of the falls. The trees are peeking and the view should be great. Thanks for updating the list Chuck!;)

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

I drove the route today and the colors are definitly peak, it's not getting any better than this. With all the rain we just had, the water is really coming down Kent Falls and the two dams feeding the covered bridge we'll drive through! 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?? :smileys-car-driving 1st and ten is less than 10 minutes from I84 east and west. Highs in the 60*s Sunday. Don't forget to bring sneakers or hiking boots if you want to hike up to the falls.

Great cruise again Jimmy,thanks so much for your effort.Kent Falls and the whole area we drove through was a very scenic ride to say the least,the leaves were probably close to peak color.8 colorful Vipers in the parking lot also got alot of attention.First and Ten Resturant was excellant as always with vallet parking for us and good food,a good mix of Patriot and N.Y. fans and I love thier menu.Kerrie and I really apprieated the hospitallity from the N.Y.\C.T. chapter,thanks for lunch.Too bad Viper Tony counldn`t make it there in his new #130 luanch edition B/W Viper we could have done a side by side comparrison to Jim`s 96 B/W.Great to see everyone that made the trip out hope to see you at the X-mas party,thanks again,Rusty,Kerrie and Rosie.
