| DIRECTIONS AND AGENDA Here's the agenda for Saturday, We have 8 confirmed cars and three others that are trying real hard. We're LEAVING at 10:00 promptly (unless you phone me at 410-913-5664 to say, "I'm only five minutes away...wait." So, why not show up at 9:30 or so , so we can say hello and see what's on the lot?
10:00-11:00 Leave the dealership making a right (west) on Kenilworth Drive. It's approx. 1 mile to Charles, where we'll turn right and go only aboput 1/8 mile to the Essex (east) ramp onto 695. FYI...this is exit #25. The Beltway is actually 51.59 miles "on the centerline" according to the MD Dept. of Transportation. I promised them we'd not use the centerline. We'll use the center lane though, and stay in line, especially as we enter the toll booth for the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The toll is my treat, as I'll pay for all our tolls and tell the attendant to waive you through. That way not lesser vehicles (aren't they all?) will interupt our "flow".
11:00-11:40 We'll actually do a little over one lap, as we'll be getting off of 695 at Cromwell Bridge Road exit (#28 or #29...can't remember). At Cromwell Bridge Road, we'll make a left for a 2to 2 1/2 mile twisty ride down to Loch Raven Drive (Sanders Corner Restaurant is on the corner). Make a left. It's about 3/4 mile to the dam, but we'll go another 2 miles or so, over a bridge to a scenic area where we can park next to the water and take some group photos.
11:40 Leave Loch Raven to have "Baltimore's Best" crabcakes at Angelina's Restaurant. We'll head back down to Cromwell Bridge Road and make a right, taking the "twisty" ride back to the Baltimore Beltway. Go East towards Essex again. We'll get off at exit 31A "Parkville". The ramp will yield you onto Harford Road heading South into the City. Angelina's is at 7135 Harford Road, approx. 1.5 miles down. Again, if you get seperated (you shouldn't ...I'm a talented experienced convoy leader), my phone will be on.
Our reservations are for 12:00
