6th Annual Bucks County Covered Bridge Cruise 10/16/16 - Sign Up & Information Thread
CRUISE UPDATE!!! 10/9/16 - 5AM
Due to the weather, and Matthew not turning out to sea as expected, we are rescheduling the cruise for next Sunday, 10/16/16. Please advise if you will be attending or not, so we know how many cars we can expect. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation! Well folks, it's official... the 6th Annual Bucks County Covered Bridge Cruise, sponsored by SEPA5, is on again this year!!! Like past years, we are asking everyone to sign up (along with your club affiliation) in this thread so we can get an accurate count on the number of cars attending. On the day of the cruise, everyone will be assigned a group number and a team leader who knows the route we are taking. If anyone is interested in volunteering to be a lead, please contact me, Kevin McGowan (kmm1412). Also, due to the number of participants expected, we must limit this cruise to CAMAROS ONLY!!! We do not have the resources to allow any other vehicles to participate. Sorry, but we will be strictly enforcing this rule on the day of the cruise, and don't want anybody driving something other than a Camaro to waste their time showing up on the morning of the cruise expecting to tag along. Last year we had 60 cars attend this cruise, and we expect more than that this year. Now that Camaro5 has seemed to resolve their issues with pushing out email notifications for PM's and Thread Subscriptions, please subscribe to this thread: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=466337 and check back regularly for updates. We will be crossing 5 covered bridges this year. The route is subject to change, like last year, when the last bridge was damaged by a truck the day before our cruise. As a reminder, some of the roads we will use are definitely roads less traveled...they are narrow, twisty, and run right through people's back yards. Please be safe and keep an eye out for pedestrians/bicyclists as well as oncoming traffic. Things to remember bringing if you have them: 1) Walkie-talkies...or a cell phone with at least one other person's number in the cruise 2) GPS...not necessarily for directions, but so you can see what road you're on and look for the next turn 3) Money for concessions at the airport...or pack a lunch for when we get there. 4) Cameras and/or GoPro's...since we can never have too many pictures or videos of our cars!

Ralph & John coming in from Lancaster County Jack, from Berks (Reading Area) Me, coming on at the Great Valley Slip Ramp (EZ Pass only) Goodheart & Big A. Please pull into a parking space in case we need to wait a few minutes for everyone to arrive. I think you all have my cell. Would anyone else like to join our caravan to Washington's Crossing?
