Please forgive me for jumping the gun here but I want to be sure to get the right date reserved during peak color season this Fall. Yes.. Pennsylvania and New Jersey can be truly breathtaking in the Fall and wow do I have the roads picked out to capture the essence! There will be twisties, tunnels, and small steel bridges on scenic byways. There will also be a picnic by a lake and waterfall exploration.
Sorry... no prizes on this drive.. this one is all about Motoring with Mother Nature!

For the full experience, there are many great Bed and Breakfasts in the area.. You can find them by going here..Bucks County B&B Association

Please see details below. If you are able to make it or have any questions, please email miniguys@comcast.net or
click here to RSVP!


When: Oct 16th: 9:30 AM
Where: Frenchtown Inn rear parking lot. Click here for directions..

Departure: After a 9:45am drivers meeting we will take off at 10:00 AM SHARP!

I ran these roads the weekend before last and the pictures below reflect what you will see.

The group heads north on country roads for a picnic lunch by the lake just off of one of the old mine roads. Next we head off on our way to where the MINIs will climb Sunrise Mountain for a scenic overlook.


Next we continue on more tree covered country roads on our way to Bushkill, PA where we will explore the falls! Bushkill Falls (The Niagara of Pennsylvania). Plan on spending about an hour and a half here..



Finally, for those who are game, there are dinner plans in the works but have not been confirmed so check back on this post and you will get all the latest!

Great! Glad you are coming.. Sorry you were having trouble with the links.. I added my email address in front of each link now for copy and paste. Sometimes if you are using yahoo or hotmail the direct email links do not work.

BTW you have a PM..

Craig

It's a little too early for me to be 100% sure, but this sounds like a great run and I am planning to be there.

[AprilWhine]

My bust on the link. I'm using a new computer and had not set the email option in IE yet. Sorry.

Looks like great fun, Craig! I'll definitely see what I can do about attending this saturday morning event. ( )

[pocket_rocket]

Thanks and spread the word about the drive please!

I figured it would work better on Sat since most people do not have to go to work on Sunday.. at least more don't then do.. Hope you can make it. and hope the MINI Doctor does well with your car.

Excellent! Would not be the same without you two!!

Well - you can count both Matt & I in (aka 2 Minis) - local = two!

I'll need to de-stress a bit that weekend - just 5 days before the big annual awards dinner I put on!

Have a great weekend btw!
