Vermont Scenic Drive...June 14th

Organized by Jeff Torrey (Trustee NELLI) Open to any and all Marques.

There will be two meeting spots set up. For Boston North we will be
meeting at the Hooksett, NH Rest Stop Rte 93 North at 9:00am. Looking for a 9:15
departure.

For Western, MA and CT we will be meeting at the Quechee Gorge Visitors
Center in Quechee, VT at 10:30 for a 10:45/11:00am (Bio Break)
departure on the scenic drive. Quechee Gorge is the first exit off of Rte 89 in Vermont. So Western, MA and CT folks can take Rte 91 North to Rte 89 and get off at Exit 1.

We will follow Rte 12 to Rte 107 west to Rte 100 North. There is a nice
lunch Spot on Rte 107. We should be eating around 12 noon.

The Ride along Rte 100 will end at Ben n' Jerry's Ice Cream Factory in
Waterbury, VT. The scenic Drive is approximately 2 hours from Quechee to
Waterbury. Ben and Jerry's offers Factory Tours if your interested, if
you haven't done it it's worth the 3 dollars admission. If you have
done the tour you may decide to do it again to extend your rest time
before we break up and head for home.

It's a great ride, beautiful countryside. On Rte 100 we will be
traveling along a small river with hills and/or green mountains on each
side. Twisting Roads, dairy farms, light traffic and no speed traps.

Im in

 

I got a few things I need to do saturday morning Otherwise I'd be in! I look forward to pics

 

9 Lotuses, 4 Vipers, and 2 Ferraris

According to Jeff, "The scenic drive is two hours of secondary roads...hills, valleys, rivers, mountains, and cows. There is a challenging diversion called the Dragons Tail which we can decide to add on Saturday."

 

Were up to 17 cars for the day. That's a good number, I'm excited about tomorrow.

A few CS Cobra Cars and a GT40 Replica are meeting us in Hooksett and will follow for the first 30 miles toward Vermont.

 

sounds like we'll have a fun day. excited for tomorrow

 

I just got in, what a day.

9 Lotus
8 Vipers
2 Ferraris

I led the pack... those Ferraris were on my back bumper all day. Kept me smiling and I kept the Lotus in the power band as much as possible. Hope you guys had as much fun as me.

The NH State Police had us pulled over for 30 minutes (Rte 89 North) taking
pictures, calling their buddies to come see. When all was said and done no tickets were written.
They even shut the Highway down so we could pull away.
Our pictures are going to be all over the State Police barrack walls.


Vermont road are cool because there are no cops anywhere once you get off
the freeway. People ahead of us had little choice, either pull over or go
like hell cause I'm coming...

You should see some pictures and maybe a video in a few days.

Thanks Will for calling out the Ferraris. They go real good. added another dimension to the trip.
