From the desk of your president... Gentlemen and ladies of the ODSS, Never too early to fill our calendars with fun-filled activities for the new year. Sergeant-at-arms Sweet and I recently performed an exhaustive search of a favorite route of mine (from this day forward to be named 'THE 151 RUN') only to be met at every establishment with good food, friendly barmaids, local beers, wines and the odd hard cider. Let us use our collective brainstorming to pencil in dates for our tried and true 'MUST-GO-TO' events as well as a 'WISH-LIST' for events and get-togethers. John, any way to make a calendar that could be locked out at the top of the ODSS Forum? I would like to make a trip down to visit the Southern Bolters. They look to have an active and fun-filled group and I would enjoy putting a face to the names I've been reading of for the last eleven years. Another idea I had that I broached with my own Central VA Old Truck Club was a trip down to Floyd, Va and the moonshine capital down there. A stay over in Floyd on a Friday night was what I had in mind with a run down part of The Crooked Road Music Trail . Highest regards, Cosmo

The 151 run has really got my attention. Cold beer, friendly barmaids and good food. And old trucks. Love it!

Is the the 151 run route? If it is, I had friends in that area - one of my old stomping grounds (before vineyards/wineries and breweries). However, we used to pick apples for cider, apple wine, and applejack. Have a good run. One day/year I'll be joining you.

Brother Tim
That is exactly it!!
I too would enjoy both runs Cosmo posted. Others I'd like to try if possible are Kansas City, Macungie, the Southern Md poker run, a cruise down the Blue Ridge Parkway, Tri-State, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
I doubt I make all them this year, but it's fun to dream!!
