It’s that time of year again, to get ready for some cruising through the fall colors of the Catoctin Mountains with the Capital Area Chapter of the SVTOA. If you’ve been along before, you know how nice the winding roads and brightly colored leaves are. If this is your first time, be sure to bring your camera. We hope to get cars from many different clubs.
As in years past, we plan to meet at the State Farm Insurance Company building north of Frederick, MD by 8:45 on Sunday morning, and plan on leaving at 9:15 am. The route will be similar to those in the past, with some changes to spend more time cruising and enjoying the beauty of fall in the mountains. In other words, this is not a race! But there will be plenty of winding roads, covered bridges and autumn foliage. Plus there’ll be the usual cookout at the end at Cunningham Falls State Park.
In the past, our chapter’s treasury has picked up the cost of the cookout. But since we’ve had no income since 2004, the piggy bank is empty. So we’ll have to ask if you can bring $5.00 per car, to cover the cost of hot dogs, hamburgers, rolls and soda (No alcohol before or during the cruise). Of course any side dishes you’d like to bring along are more than welcome, as long as they’ll hold up to riding along on mountain roads. The cruise usually lasts a couple hours.
WHEN: Sunday, October 28th
WHAT TIME: Arrive by 8:45 to meet and greet, leave at 9:15 am

Don’t be one of those saying “I wish I had gone to this”. Mark your calendar now, and hope for a beautiful fall day.
I heard that some got stuck with a group that wanted to race and not cruise last year.
