[Sun, May 20th 9:00-10:00 meet] - Scenic Maryland Tour

Please join us for this incredible run!!!

When: Sunday, May 20th. We will meet between 9:00–10:00AM for a prompt 10:15AM departure time.

Where: We will gather at the Starbucks at Milestone Shopping Center in Germantown , MD. Directions below.

Bring: A full tank of gas, an appetite, money for food ($20 should more than cover the meal), and a FRS or GMRS handheld radio (tuned to channel 7, subchannel 21) if you own one or a navigator that doesn't mind the twisties!!! If you plan to attend these drives regularly, I recommend getting a FRS or GMRS handheld radio… They are inexpensive and available at Costco, Best Buy, Circuit City and more… It's not a necessity but it does make it easier for all of us to keep in touch… Gina and I bought ours at Costco for $75.00 which included 3 radios, charging unit and earbuds…

RSVP: PM me or respond on this thread if you are attending so I can alert the restaurant… Also, let me know if you are bringing someone with you so I can get an accurate head count...

Event Fee: Believe it or not – FREE… What a bargain…

Route: This route will take us through 2 little known tunnels following the Civil War Trail through very historic and scenic areas of Maryland … The scenery on this tour is breathtaking and the roads are VERY challenging… A break will be planned on the route ending at the VERY scenic PB Dye Golf Club for lunch and our meet… There will be some tremendous photo opportunities on this run so bring the cameras and/or video equipment…

The Dine & Meet: This time the Meet is just before, during and after the Dine at the golf club... We will have a lot of private parking at a VERY scenic spot for nice pictures... We will be able to stand around and chat without having to worry about being run over or being pressured to leave for the drive...

Questions? PM me or this thread! Everyone will get detailed directions the day of the event…
