Had a great turnout at Cooter's Place in Sperryville, VA on 29 October 2016. Weather was beautiful. Ben Johnson and Catherine Bach were on hand to sign autographs. Lots of photo ops available for "Dukes of Hazzard" memorabilia. The Marauder Gang rolled in together and turned heads as we made our way to parking in the grass lot behind Cooters. About 20 people with 7 MMs (3 Black, 2 Blue, 2 Silver) with 1 Silver Birch CVLX Sport and 1 Magnetic Gray Ford Edge. Was surprised to see that Pantheroc & Diane made the trip from Ohio. Was even more surprised to see the great turnout of people for Cooter's last day in Sperryville, VA before he moves his place to Luray, VA. Must have been over 100 cars, 25 Motorcycles, and 250 people at the Saturday event.

We split from the group at mid-afternoon and headed up to the Shenandoah National Park for a cruise along Skyline Drive. If you recall, 20 MMs did this trip during MV5 back in August 2007 nearly 10 years ago. We wrapped up the day with cider at Cobbler Mountain Cellars on the east side of the mountain and then dinner a little closer to home.

It was truly a great day with friends and family and the weather couldn't have been better for a "Leaf Peepin' " tour.

Must have been the "zoom" effect on my camera and lighting. Taken from a distance away. I have no idea who those people were with Catherine Bach/Daisy Dukes. The line to get her autograph was very long. Haggis and YIMMA waited in line for well over an hour .... maybe closer to 2 hours and probably got much better pics with her. Ben Johnson came out a little later.
