I'd be in for that.

Not being able to organize drives is driving me nuts and there is a dire shortage of people organizing other drives.

I'd be up for that. I live on Lake Road (170 Lake -- at the corner of Lake and Hidden Valley). I can vouch for the comment that it is a beautiful spot -- the lake is essentially hidden -- you wouldn't know it was there unless you drove on Lake Road specifically. Stopping at the Stable would be a good idea -- always something interesting to see there.

Kirk, do you belong to the club on the Lake? What a place for a photo op! I did drive by last week after the rains, and I've never seen it so brown and high. Tons of debris in the water. You'd be the one to place the call on the date, knowing when the leaves would be most beautiful. And isn't the name offically 'Hidden Lake'?

No, I am not a member. I think you have to have been born into the right family to become a member, and that is not me. :-) It was really bad after the rains -- water was up at road level in some spots, which is unheard of. The name of the lake is Ravine Lake. As for timing, probably in late October is when the leaves will look best.

I will add, however, that as I mentioned at yesterday's event, we are planning a short drive after the Cars & Croissants on August 23 (will start C&C later, say at 10 am). While the route has not been completely mapped out, I am leaning toward including Lake Road on the route and ending up at my house, which is about 1/4 mile or so after the end of the lake, for a casual lunch. Not finalized yet, but will be soon. Just need to put the final selling points together to go to my wife. :-)
