NJ/DE CAPE MAY---Fall Foliage and Light House Rally

October 12th, 2003

Ok here is the tentative plan and all suggestions are welcome. This is open to all MINI owners and enthusiast.

The Fall Foliage will be at or pretty close to it's peak season so as many twisties as we can find along beautifully coloured motorways will be our route. There are also a few lighthouses connecting our journey along the way for perfect photo ops. A Ferry Ride over into Delaware then venturing up route 9 a long twistie up the coast.

We can start over in New Jersey at the Deptford Mall.
There is plenty of room for us to meet. I figure that is a great place for a meeting point. Easy to find

Feel free to contact either one of us at the following email addies

Tiff_N_Peter@yahoo.com

I also have AIM ... feel free to message me NJDEDGRL

DED GRL,

Duplicating the response on MINIUSA!

Unless work takes me elsewhere, count me in!!!

Sounds good DED GRL, but I'm in Maryland, and considering the fact that my knowledge of NJ is limited to getting from Caesar's Palace to Bally's, I'd have to leave the planning to you all...but I'm very interested!

AprilWhine · Aug 13th, 2003, 07:35 PM

I think it sounds like lots of fun. If Z3bum's MINI run to the UK gets cancelled, I think I can make this one.

wayneS · Aug 14th, 2003, 02:29 PM

Count us in!
Wayne & Jan

paddy · Aug 15th, 2003, 02:19 AM

so far. I am planning on attending. Just like COOPERation, I know so little about where things are in NJ. I am looking forward to this.

acetonic · Aug 15th, 2003, 01:07 PM

Count me in. As a DE resident, Rt 9 Is the only road we have worth motoring on and since it ends up right at my door I won't even have the long post-rally drive home to contend with!

DED GRL · Aug 15th, 2003, 11:03 PM

UPDATE: Re: Ferry Ride -- Cape May, NJ to Lewes, De

This is what I've found out. I spoke with a very pleasant woman by the name of Sherri “We are thrilled to have you with us and look forward to seeing all you”.

We can obtain a discount if we can confirm 25+ MINI's. Otherwise we will have to pay the full fair. Also, we have to provide them with our names by the 24th of September. Providing them with your name will guarantee you a spot on the Ferry otherwise, you may not get to hop the ride with rest of us. To provide your name follow the RSVP instruction below Please J
Also, they have been so kind as to hold these spots and allow us to pay upon arrival with no booking reservation fee in advance. Accepting Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Bank Debit Cards or personal checks with proper ID.

Ferry Rules: EVERYONE must have photo ID for this ride. Due to Homeland Security Procedures NO ID…..NO RIDE

Fees:
Full Ferry fee is $38 per car including 1 passenger
Discounted rate (25+ MINI’s) will be $23 per car including 1 passenger

Departure Time: 1PM.
We have to be to the dock due to homeland security issues 45 minutes prior to departure. Again keep in mind these people are excited we are going to venture on their ferry. Arrival between 12:00 and 12:15 for a 1 o’clock departure. The Ferry ride is 1 hour and 15 minutes long.

RSVP Needed:
Please provide your information with one of the options listed below to confirm your reserve space on the Ferry ride.

wingedsheep · Aug 22nd, 2003, 04:36 AM

I'm very interested. Don't know of any plans for that date yet. Once I have a better idea, I'll RSVP officially, but just wanted you to know there's a bit more interest out there.

MoonPie · Aug 26th, 2003, 07:42 PM

Caaaape Maaaaaaaayyyyyyyy oooooooo ahhhhhhhhhh always wanted to go!

If RP and Ace are going, well shucks, count us in...

UpDATE for Cape May / Fall Foliage Run Oct 12th

If you haven’t signed up for the Cape May Run Please do so. This
is going to be so much Fun and Beautiful.

Peter and I spent all day yesterday coming the Roads of NJ down to
Cape May. Not that the route is official set yet but 47 is a nice
leisurely drive. Not many twisties but, for the time of year we
will be venturing out it certainly will prove to have the scenic
look we are out to capture and that is the Fall Foliage. We found a
couple spots that we will use for catch up points to gather our
flock, gaggle, litter, school, or what ever it is you call a bunch
of MINI’s back together. We will pass through many small towns
and our first pottie break will be at a McDonald’s that has ample
parking. There is a huge old abandon cement factory in the
background to boot so it could prove a somewhat cool photo op for us.

We found 3 lighthouses along the way. The first one very very cool
and old. Sits on a back road and will be tight but, not a problem
for our MINI’s. We will post some photos that we took yesterday
on our site and I will be sure to share them with all. So at least you all know where we are going. Or have somewhat of a clue. The 2nd Lighthouse was in North Wildwood though under repair this is after all a lighthouse run so we have to stop. They have a beautiful flower garden the beach is right behind it and there is ample road parking right outside the lighthouse. Guess what? There is a McDonalds right around the corner so, another pottie break J Then off to Cape May we go. The Cape May lighthouse is Huge and
Gorgeous. The beach is a just a short walk away, ample parking but,
no potties so you’ll have to wait till we get to the Ferry.

The Cape May Ferry pavilion is gorgeous. There are many amenities
here, bathrooms, restaurant, lounge, and even a mini putting green.
Yes, those of you put put maniacs bring a club and enjoy. Air-
conditioned pavilion tourist information and simply a beautiful
place to sit and relax for our ride across the mini pond (hehehe).
For most of us this will be the first venture on water that our
babies have experienced since the big ride across the big pond. The
Ferry ride will also offer food and beverages.

Remember to RSVP as soon as you can to assure your ride on the
Ferry. Send me an email with your passenger count and your car info
NJ_DED_GRL@yahoo.com

Motor On,
Tiffanna

AprilWhine · Aug 27th, 2003, 09:04 AM

Thanks Tiffanna, I've sent my RSVP.

DED GRL · Aug 27th, 2003, 10:36 AM

I got your reply and I'm thrilled to have you with us

MoonPie · Aug 28th, 2003, 05:43 PM

pls take MMiller and MPie off the list of attendees, Oktoberfest planning...

Can't wait to see the pics, I here Cape May is so beautiful!

Even though both of our MINI's were taken out by Isabel.... Guess What???
We are having a run. Get this... Otto's MINI in WestChester PA is so wonderful and generous that they are laoning us a baby for the day. Thanks to Joe... he so rocks
So come on sign up and lets enjoy the end of summer together.
Hurry your time is ticking away
Email me pronto NJ_DED_GRL@yahoo.com
I need your name, your car info (colour and MC or MCS)

laughscott · Oct 1st, 2003, 04:34 PM

URGENT!!!!!!!

Tiffana just sent out an email to the PhillyMINI group, and she doesn't have access to the Internet from work, but...

She HAS to have ALL of the names of those riding on the Cape May Ferry, in the exact structure that is on their photo ID ASAP!!!

I guess, as part of their Homeland Security issues, they need to know the names in advance for large groups!!!

PLEASE, send an email directly to Tiff at NJ_DED_GRL@yahoo.com immediately with the complete, and matching names of all your passengers, and also indicate who will be driving!!!

Scott (on behalf of Tiff!)

paddy · Oct 2nd, 2003, 09:06 PM

Scott, I will see you all on the 12th.....

laughscott · Oct 2nd, 2003, 10:29 PM

Paddy,

Looking forward to seeing you again.

Please make sure yous end the ID name to Tiff in advance!!

Anyone Motoring up with you??
