Let's do it again. JUNE 12, 2005 - ROADSTER MEET AND DRIVE (NY/NJ/CT/PA)
Let's meet at the Bear Moutain Inn at 10:30AM, Sunday June 12th, 2005. We will wait till 11:00am and then drive over to Greenwich CT for a 1PM lunch.
I suggest we take a scenic drive from Bear Mountain to the Taconic Parkway. Then we take the Taconic south and onward to Greenwich CT's windy estate filled roads. Our final destination: GAIA for lunch.
We can then head on over to Westport CT for late afternoon drinks and dinner for those who wish to stay, or to NYC to my favorite place (Baraonda on 75th and 2nd).
We will meet in the 20 minute parking area (just east of the Bear Mountain Inn) same spot as the last time.
PS. Bring your significant other this time, and let's make a day of it.
