WHEN: Sunday, November 1, 2009
WHERE: CDOC at 1 Cleveland St., Gordonsville, VA 22942 (map).
CDOC is located a half-mile south of the Gordonsville traffic circle, off of Rt. 231, behind the Food Lion. While we wait for everyone to arrive, CDOC will open its doors and take us on a tour of this, the ultimate goody store. Also, we hope Paul Overstreet can show us around his shop, Overstreet European Motors, which is located within the CDOC facility. We will have an anniversary cake and coffee, too! WHAT TIME: Arrive at 10:00 AM for the CDOC tour. Depart the CDOC parking lot at 11:00 AM SHARP to start the driving tour.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
A fabulously fun day following the Green Bean (photo on left) on a circuitous route, including a hill climb into the Blue Ridge Mountains, a possible paralleling of the Shenandoah River, perhaps a cresting of Thornton Gap, with maybe a gamboling along the Blue Ridge Turnpike and a moderate chance of plunging down last year's beloved "Corkscrew." Lunch, if your tummy can take it, at Graves Mountain Lodge, will be followed by a you're-on-your-own tour down one of Virginia's most scenic byways back to Gordonsville, with optional stops at the Apple Shed and historic Main Street Madison.
HOW MUCH?
$21.00 for the Full Fried Chicken buffet with all the fixin's. Price includes all taxes and gratuities. Remember what Mr. Graves says, "Take all you want, but eat all you take." CANCEL? Sleet, snow, and/or ice cancels, otherwise we go rain or shine. SEE YOU THERE!WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO DO AND WHEN?
Tell Phil or Susie NO LATER THAN Saturday, Oct. 24 if you are coming and how many of you there will be. Call 540-832-3509 or email phlodbear@aol.com.
