We'll meet in front of the Talbots in the Brandywine Square shopping center. You will see the MINIs lined up from the corner of Quarry Rd & Business Rt. 30. There is a Wawa across the street from The Shops @ Brandywine Square so you can gas up and get snacks for the ride prior to departure.
There will be a few stops on the way and you'll be treated to a history of the Pennsyvania Railroad as we drive some of the best backroads of Chester & Lancaster Counties. Covered bridges, Abandoned Railroad Right of Ways and even a few Amish buggies will be seen on this run!
