Drive-N-Eat MINIs to the Point......Cape May Point.

Drive-N-Eat presents the next exciting installment..."MINIS to the Point....Cape May Point.

October 21st, 2012.

Be sure and mark your calendars.

The "Director" for this episode of "Drive-N-Eat" is Mike Rudolph and Mike Logan.

We will be going to visit the Cape May Point Light House with a stop at Batsto Village. Dinner in Stone Harbor is on the itinerary as well.

Our day will start The WAWA on Rt 38 in Lumberton, NJ. (Intersection of Rt38 and Rt 541)
Meet at 9:15 with a departure at 9:45.

For those of us that would like to meet for breakfast we will be at the Diamond Diner on Rt 38 in Hainsport, NJ. (Just down the street) at 8:00

Our next stop will be Historic Batsto Village where we will take some time out to enjoy the "Country Living Fair".
www.batstovillage.org .

The next stop will be for lunch on the lake at the Atlantic County Park in Mays Landing.

After lunch we will "Motor" on down the back roads of Atlantic and Cape May Counties to our destination. The Light house at Cape May Point.

http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/capemay.html

We will take time to tour the light house, visit the bird sanctuary or just take a stroll on the beach.

Next we are off the Stone Harbor Bar and Grill, 261 96th St. for dinner. www.stoneharborbarandgrill.com




Things to remember to bring:
Money for gas (It just sucks when you run out of gas)
FRS Radio (Even if you don't talk on it it's fun to listen to those that do)
Camera (There is always something to take a picture of)
Bag Lunch (or you can get lunch at WAWA)
Sweater ( it might get chilly, or it might not.)

Anyone and everyone is invited.

I know some people are a little intimidated when it comes to these things, I am, so I don't see why anyone else wouldn't be.

But everyone is invited no matter what car they drive...

5 days to go......
If you are joining us for breakfast we will be at the Diamond Diner around 8:00am. Otherwise the starting point is the WAWA at the intersection of Rt38 and Rt541, In front of the Lowes. While at the WAWA you might want to get lunch as our lunch stop will be a "Picnic" (yea the pun was intended).
The weather forecast,(if you believe in that sort of thing ) is suppose to be a high of 65 and mostly sunny.

Other then that... see the first post for details and we will see you on the 21st.

Personally I think we all need to be committed for the way we are about our MINI s, but then again.......

Oh yea..how many people are coming?
Do you want to know how many people said they were coming but don't show, or how many people will probably just show up?

The number we are looking for is 12, 12 MINIs could equal 24 people or more depending on how many riders you stuff in your MINI. And given the amount of Countryman that are out there there could be more.

Of course if there are 12 people coming then that could mean there are only 6 MINIs........

But the truth of the matter is....Who knows.

We just plan these things and who shows up shows up... All I can say is we have a 100% "Good Time" rate... After all, it's not like we are driving Prius. (Does anyone know the plural for Prius)

I don't think my wife and I are making this one either. We have a busy weekend and week ahead of us and I really can't spare the day. Have fun and we'll catch up with you all next time around.
Thanks for the invite!
