Here's a route that has something for everyone.... Start at B&G Sporting Goods in Westfield (exit 4 off the Pike, I think) and follow route 20 up to Lee/Pittsfield. The driving/views are absolutely spectacular on that stretch of road, and the Staties are usually patrolling in Westfield. We could hit the Lee Outlet mall and then the Champion Outlet in Pittsfield if we wanted.....

I had an idea for a fall cruise/meet. my meet option would start us off at a sturbridge meeting area which is a good centeral place. we would cruise some back roads to quabbin reservior for some site seeing, take rt.9 to rt.116 through some nice small towns to mt. sugarloaf state resv. for a drive to the summitt where they have a 3 story obsevation tower for some really nice views of the valley and connecticut river, then from there drive to rt. 5 greenfield area to shelbourne falls and check out the glacier potholes, huge well potholes carved into the rocks from glaciers set in a very nice small town in the mountains. drive back down to greenfield for lunch and the meet would end there so N.H.& upper eastern ma peeps could get in rt. 2 and follow that to 495, and I91 is right there to head south to ct. and lower mass.
We have never done a meet in this part of mass. before so it would be something new.
I was thinking of adding in some country roads that are fun and traveled mostly by locals on the way to quabbin.
the other idea is nice also, I wouldn't be much into shopping or going to stores though. It takes a long time just to get to those places before even adding shopping time. you gotta figure in waiting for people to arrive at the meet spot, add in some talking and then we start to move which is great fun in its self.
I like the idea of some driving followed by a stop every now and then to stretch and take in some views. tha's how I planned my route.

Actually, the stores would be just a means to an end...the drive up is why I would go up there. There are PLENTY of s-curves, dips, 90 degree turns interspersed with LONG straightaways.....It's AWESOME in the fall!!! I would go to the Champion outlet store....only the "locals" know about it because it's pretty well "hidden" and you can get stuff like sweatshirts that are stiched wrong for 3-5$
