Barb and I found a neat place in Gettysburg you might want to consider for a fall doo. It's Applachean Brewery on Rt.30 going into town from the west. They brew some fairly good beer, and some a bit on the average side, and one or two that are really good. The big news here is the food; it's teriffic, and the place is now our favorite. I know it's a bit out of the way and something of a trip for some of you, but Gettysburg in the fall is a very special place, and I think, worth the trip. Some might want to consider an overnight, and do a tour of the battlefield. The leaves will be at their peak the first or second weekend, and I think it would be a nice outing. There's a big parking lot for a mini show. Let me know what you think, and I'll make the arrangements, if there's enough interest. :)

Gettysburg is neat, it might be good to spread the CAM meets around....
Of course, we might have trouble "If them there Virginia Marauders" cross over the Mason Dixon.... :D

We sure could use a ride in one of those fancy Mecury Marauder sir, because these boots are not made for walking.

As long as the weather is dry, I'll be there. New Trilogy + drag radials + wet weather = bad day in Gettysburg!

It was brought up to me at the Sept. Meet about another 'Dyno-Day' at Kaufman's, which is in the GettysBurg area. How many are interested in having their cars dynoed? We could do this in the morning, 9am and be out of there at noon, head to the brew-pub and then go scare some ghosts. :boo:

OK, PLAN "B". How about this. As Gordon suggests, we do Kauffman's in the morning and end up at the Brew Pub about 1:00. There's plenty of room in the parking lot so we can hang out. Those who are more interested in the battlefield than Kauffmans do the battlefield in the morning, and meet the gang arriving from Kauffman's at the Applachean Brew Pub parking lot. If Gordon can make the arrangements at Kauffman's I think Saturday, Oct 22 or the 29th are the best dates, as far as leaf peeping are concerned. Also, Saturday November 5th would work. I guess it all depends upon when Gordon can make the arrangements at Kauffman's, if you want to bundle the two events.
For those who want to do the Battlefield, the self-guided tape tour is the best way, if you've never done it that way.

I am in for the beer and food at the Brew Pub. :beer: Will most likely pass on the Dyno tune session at Kauffman's. Am open to suggestions on after lunch activities with the MM gang. :up:

How about a MM cruise/tour, using the mountain route past Camp David, for some spactacular leaf-peeping, ending at MD Rt77 and US 15 at Thurmont?:D

Joe, did you see that photo Merk published on his post? If he brings all them guys along, we're gonna have a great time, but they look a little thirsty. I hope we don't run out of beer.

:eek: OMG, Joe, I can see it now! We'll put Gman up front, and have all the Black ones first, then Blue, then DTR, then SB. We'll be going up the back way, not using the park central entrance, and the security guys are gonna *****, when that convoy shows up on the security cameras. I think they'll pick us up as soon as we cross the tracks at Lantz. They'll think the Boss is making a suprise visit. Want to bet we'll have company? :rofl:
PS. I have a great story about one of my adventures, a few years ago.

The dates are all screwed up. October 22 is merc's shootout at Mason-Dixon, and we can't do Kauffman's, Gettysburg and Mason-Dixon all in the same day. That leaves October 29th or November 5th. Any later and there won't be any leaves to see. It's like Charlie said a couple of months back, things like this should be left to professionals, so I'll just take a step back and .......:hide:

Oh no you don't!!!! It is a good idea now run with it, your not getting off the hook that easy. How about Oct 15th for the Tour/Restraunt in Gettysburg. When I get enough interest in a dyno day I will arrange it. It will be dyno runs like the last time. NO TUNNING!!

I was just about to post on the chosen date, when that darned Gorden took over. :neener: Anyway it's a good date, and reservations will be made. 1PM is a good start time, as we'll want to make the circle tour to Camp David before dark.
Anyway, we just got back from there, and had another fabulous meal. Everything on the menu, it seems, is wonderful. Barb had the shepard's pie, and I had the rabbit stew (sorry Mary) which was perfect. I had to bring Barb home & put her to bed, 'cause she washed down her dinner with two pints of their award winning Heffe weissen.
PS: thanks Gordon.:o

Are we talking October 9th? or November 9th? The title of this thread is November CAM meet....
BTW, October 9th is one of the two days for the 75-80 Dragway Ford Fall Motorsports event. I, most likely, will be there on Sunday torturing my poor OEM radials to death! :burn:

Joe, You're right, and anyway, I have to go to Snow Shoe that weekend, then off to Ohio the next weekend, then it's merc's Mason-Dixon doo the following weekend. That means the next chance is the weekend of Oct 29-30th or November 5-6th. Since I'm in charge, I select SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29th at 1PM! ....THERE! That's final! :banned:
um if that isn't OK with you guys we can select another date. :rofl:

Um, can we call this one the November meet? That's the way it started, but I was afraid the leaf peeping chances would be gone by Nov 6th. Also, we want to have the best conditions for the MM convoy past Camp David. With who else leading the pack? ....our very own g-man, of course!

Wow a week after the shootout...busy end of month! I'll have to see whats going on, my bro's bday is that weekend, hopefully we'll do that Sunday. Otherwise I'll try to make plans to attend, the convoy sounds great.
Are we doing any dyno pulls in the AM? I wouldn't mind getting 1 in to see where I'm at...

I need at least 10 cars to reserve the dyno at Kauffman's, so far no one has shown interested besides you. Anyway it might be to late now for the 29th.

Yeah I noticed the dyno talk dropped off, I'd be interested if we do it, but sounds like no one else really wants to. I'll have to take it in one day anyway. :)

Ya know.... given that Oct. 29th is like 2 days before Halloween, i wonder if there will be a Gettysburg ghost tour or something that evening (?)
I know there is an open ghost tour/investigation that night in the Kutztown area of PA ... not sure how close that is to Gettysburgh.
Hmmmmmm anyone else into that kind of crap?
