Saturday, 10/7 - Foliage Run '06 - White Mountain, NH

A message from Shawn D. (Red Lotus Elise from the 2006 Northeast Exotic Car Show):

Date: Saturday, October 7, 2006
Event open to all cars
Meet at Hooksett rest stop off I-93 in NH at 8:30 AM for 9 AM departure:

1. Hooksett, NH to North Conway via Rt 28 and Rt16.
2. Intervale, NH to 113N via Hurricane Mt. Rd.
3. 113N to 2W to 16S to 302W to Bear Notch Rd. to Kancamagus to Lincoln, NH (I haven't been down 113 but it sounds narrow, twisty, and remote. Kancamagus to Lincoln. Shouldn't be as crowded so late in the day. Might stop at a rest area along the way for some sunset shots).
4. Dinner in Lincoln at ~17:00. (Not sure where. Gordi's, Truant's, or Common Man might have decent parking.)

The proposed route focuses more on back roads and less interstate.

Stops along the way might include:
- Wolfeboro, NH pitstop
- North Conway for 2 hour lunch and stretch
- Glen, NH pitstop
- Dinner in Lincoln 1 hour

Once again, leaving Hooksett at 9 AM, I expect to be back in Hooksett by 7:40 PM.

Looking forward to seeing everyone,
Shawn D.

Couldn't have picked a better day, weather wise, nor a better time, foliage wise.

No better way to put some more miles on the car before the snow hits.

This cat is in.

 

I'll be heading up there to meet with some Elise and Ferrari folks. Would like to caravan up there with some Boston folks as well.

Boston caravan: Meet at the Soldier's Field lot ("The Lot") at 7:45 AM for an 8 AM departure. It's a straight slingshot onto Storrow Drive from the lot onto I-93 N.

A full day of driving curvy roads - pit stops for food and foliage...perfect photo opportunity!

See you there!

Yee haa!!!

I just sent Keeper an e-mail. We will be leaving Boston at 8 AM, so with some spirited driving, we should be at the border of NH/MA at about 8:30 AM. If there's a stop there...i.e., liquor store or gas plaza at/near Exit 1, I'll be sure to lead the Boston pack that way. So please let me know...We'll then depart for Hooksett.

Hasta manana,
