National Fall Meet Interest Check - 06/24/06 02:43 PM
This idea has been kicked around for the past couple years.
Who would seriously be interested in a weekend trip out to New England for some foliage cruising aka "leaf peeping" and other events?
Our usual fall meet occurs late September/early October. It's roughly an all day (Saturday) event where we meet in the morning, cruise a bit, get lunch, cruise another hour or so, pause at scenic points and then return near the starting point for some dinner.
We usually try to eat dinner in a restaurant that has that NE flair, to really add to the whole experience, and not a "chain" restaurant.
Some of the events that we've done in the past in addition to the cruise included a classic NE festival full of craftsmen and food, scenic mountain ski lift trips, a brewery tour with free samples, and exploration of an old tower. Elky usually provides entertainment by dunking himself in ice cold water, and dressing in shorts and a tanktop all day.
here are the only pics I have available at the moment
There are open drag nights each Friday night at a dragway in NH, so that could be an option. There are also autocross events on Sundays.
If there's enough interest, we could narrow down an exact date, and I could arrange to block off rooms at a hotel centrally located to all events.
So feel free to post up if you're interested.
NE will do their fall meet regardless, but making it a weekend event will need more planning.

CEGers and trolls alike are always welcome (I've trolled the last two fall meets myself). Dates are generally pretty strict around the leaves turning colors (the main point to the meet) but we can work with/around the Chicken Wing Zing if there's enough interest.
