So franchise and I were talking about having a fall foliage cruise sometime in Oct. Just seeing who's interested and if anyone has any good ideas? We were thinking either cruising up to NH or western mass. to snap some nice pictures. So if anyone knows of any cool spots, lets brainstorm

 

i cant really do weekends cause of work...usually in the morning to afternoon.

sadface.

 

I'd be down! Nice end of the year/fawk here's winter sort of cruise? lol

 

Here are some ideas:

I've heard good things about the Mohawk Trail, the first one listed there. Great scenery and better roads. But it's quite a hike west

 

I'd be down, save for not being in an acura, it'd be good to meet up with some aziners again

 

The Mohawk trail sounds decent. I don't venture out west much so I'm sure it would be a nice "spirited" cruise.

 

I'm up for a drive if we can keep it to a half a day, low traffic times, and in decent weather. Not sure how far the mohawk trail is from Boston... the other drives look good too. I know going west on RT.2 is pretty good.

Mohawk Trail looks like quite a drive out there lol

 

I can't believe how many people are afraid to drive their cars a decent distance, lol.

 

For me its a matter of time not distance. If it was up to me I would drive my car 24/7.

 

Exactly.

I'd drive my car to the moon and back...but the weekends are few and far between.

 

HOLY COW that is far. thats like a all day trip ++ pushing on me whip for extra miles lol. i say somewhere localish around boston area...hampton beach?

-oh we need to let everyone know what a 'cruise' is.

 

If we do a cruise...we should def all have walkie talkies!!!

 

OK, cool. That's completely understandable.

Not to pick on anyone, lol, but this is exactly what I was talking about! Don't be afraid of putting mileage on your car or anything like that.... go enjoy!

The whole point of a cruise is to just get out and go drive somewhere out of the ordinary. Go find some twisty fun backroads. Leave everything behind, it's just you and the car, interacting. For me, it's complete peace. Driving somewhere far and driving a long time is what makes it fun, no? Instead of taking the interstate, take the roundabout way and avoid all interstates. That's what it's all about.

 

Kevin - very nicely said!! i agree with u 100%!

 

Im in western mass now, rt 2 or 202 isnt bad. lost of random small roads out here to check out.

 

A couple NH options...

Merrimack Valley

Seacost Region

After a quick Google maps search, those look pretty weak lol.

 

Well said, Kevin. I agree completely.

Any ideas on a date? Saturdays work best for me personally.

 

yeah, I personally prefer Saturdays as well

 

How does Sat. Oct 16th sound to ppl?

 

Oct. 16 works for me.

 

16th is good.

 

Looks OK for me as of now

Looks like S2Ki, specifically the NES2KOC, is having a group drive out to Mohawk Trail the 16th, as well. Maybe we can coordinate some giant group shot lol.

 

im down add me also were are we meeting up any clue yet if we start early we could all go grab breakfast and roll

 

yeah i rather keep it within Azine...then attract too much attention ya know?

Sounds good.

 

Not me. I'd rather have more guys and more cars, I think it would be more fun. I like some of the S2K guys. But it's you guys' call...

 

Hmm..now that I think about it...might be fun to join the S2k people....i was reading their forums and they are doing the mohawk trail. This cruise will take the whole day...prob from 10am - 5pm.

 

crapp..i just found out i have to be in Chicago that weekend of the 15th...

You guys can still plan this event for the 16th. I'll have to take myself off the list.

 

Can you give me the link to the S2K thread?

If that's the case, we'd need to meet up early that morning to cruise out to Deerfield. It ooks like a 2 hour ride from Boston so a 7:30 meeting time somewhere? Or maybe somewhere along the pike after 8?

Mike you've got to stop traveling when you have more important things to do such as this cruise

 

is this still going on ?

 

I believe so. Feel free to add your name to the list if you'd like to join.

 

so 10th or 16th ?
