Drive-N-Eat "Welcome Spring" River country Rally

Attention Cast And Crew, Casting Call for Sunday, March 24th, 2013.

"Drive-N-Eat" ‘Welcome Spring’ River Country Rally

The "Director" for today's episode is John Weigele "Gizmo"



Starting Location: 300 Corporate Dr, Lebanon, NJ 08833 (Address for Courtyard Marriott of Lebanon)
Hotel will be on the left, look in the parking lot to the right to see me (There will be trees on the right but drive up a bit further to see the parking lot). We will park there in as it is hard to park at the hotel lot.

Please arrive promptly at 10:00AM - we will depart at 10:15AM. ETA at Dilly's Corner is 11:45AM.

This will be a scenic drive through "river country" back roads and along the Delaware River to Dilly's Corner (CASH ONLY restaurant) for a delicious lunch and ice cream.

2998 River Rd New Hope, PA 18938


Drive-N-Eat "Welcome Spring" River country Rally-223896_10150243457609565_2257330_n.jpg


After lunch we will follow some more nice roads down to the beautiful river town of New Hope, PA to walk around and shop. Please bring change for the metered parking.



Again, remember to bring CASH for lunch, change for the metered parking in New Hope and remember to bring your two-way radios if you have them.

Post up if you can make it or think you can make it.

My MINI is still in production and I don't think it will arrive in time. In the future, I am in.

Thanks

I may give this a try

Grew up outside of New Hope, a lot of nice roads. I have a 2008 Clubman S and a 2008 Hardtop S. Sounds like fun.

The car number is hovering around 30, head count is at about 40 now.

I will be in a Camden Edition R56 tomorrow, not my blue R53 as I am having serious issues with it (Gizmo is having a month long vacation lol).

I will have an easter egg basket and a note pad so look for me when you arrive.

Thanks for a great run John! I loved the airport, the covered bridges, the twisties and the air I got coming off something somewhere along the line! Had fun with a nice group of folks!

Thank you all for coming! I'm glad I was able to show some unique parts of my area and my favorite place, the airport :-) Maybe next time I'll have a friend of mine who a fly by in his aerobatic plane.
