4th Annual Fall Leaf Cruise October 13th in NJ (archive)

The complete automotive resource for buyers, sellers, and owners like you.

Time: 10 AM, Saturday, October 13th � rain date: Sunday, October 14th (Try to arrive a few minutes early, say 9:45, with a full tank of gas so we can get off to a prompt start)

Place: Frenchtown, New Jersey, in the River Road parking lot just south of the Frenchtown Inn and the bridge to Uhlerstown.

Highlights: Cruise along the Delaware River and inland along streams, across rolling hills and amid farms. Then head back to the Delaware River for a picnic lunch at a breathtaking mountain lake in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. After lunch take a spin up to Sunrise Mountain and on to Space Farms Museum in Beemerville, an amazing collection with antique cars and motorcycles plus more than 100,000 other unique items and a 500 animal zoo. We'll end up at the Walpack Inn in Walpack Center, New Jersey, for dinner.

Lunch: Pack a picnic basket or arrive early and grab something to go at The Bridge Caf� adjacent to the River Road parking lot in Frenchtown (908) 996-6040.

Space Farms Museum: We plan on spending a couple of hours here before heading to dinner. Admission: $8.95 per person plus tax.

Dinner: Important!! Call the Walpack Inn at (973) 948-3890 for reservations by Friday, October 12th, and mention BMW Z3.

Lodging: If you need a place to stay Friday or Saturday night, let me know (E-Mail).

Restroom Facilities: Unlike our other cruises cruises, we are starting out from a small village and heading into the wilderness. Toilet facilities in Frenchtown are available at the two gas stations (one each), and the Bridge Caf� (one). The Watergate Picnic Area (our lunch stop) should have three or more chemical toilets. There is a single plumbed toilet open to the public in Milbrook, � mile north of the picnic area. Sunrise Mountain has two chemical toilets (but very nice ones � my wife even used one). Once we reach Beemerville, we�re home free. Plenty of toilets at Space Farms and the Walpack Inn. You may want to bring a roll of toilet paper and some towels just in case. That�s probably more than you wanted to hear about toilets, but forewarned is forearmed.

We hope anyone within reasonable driving distance and able to commandeer a Z3 will join us. E-Mail Tom Storer at z3ne@home.com to sign up or get questions answered. For more information, check out the Delaware Water Gap web page.
