Yeah, Bear Mtn/Harriman roads have been devastated by the recent rains.

It’s unfortunate and hopefully they can recover from it soon. 7/30 I’m looking at route 9D on the other side of the river going down to Dolly’s restaurant. That’s looking good, but let’s see what the Mother Nature brings in coming days.

The weather is looking good for 7/30! We are confirmed for a meet & drive, but will be taking different roads (e.g. 9D) as most of the other roads marked above are closed. We have 3 GTs confirmed (Ftype, M3, Viper). If you are interested in joining, let me know and I’ll pass on the details. We are planning to meet in Oakland NJ @ 10am.

Breathtaking views, exhilarating roads, melodic exhaust symphonies, delightful gastronomic experiences, and the warm embrace of fantastic companions! 2023 summer to remember!

Delighted to share some snapshots from our amazing trip! We had an absolute blast and can't wait to do it all over again this Fall. Stay tuned for the upcoming plans, and be sure to bookmark this link for updates.

@Carbuff2 It was a pleasure meeting you :-)

JagFR complained because we brought the F and not one of our two Lotus.

Had to leave the group early in order to meet a previous commitment to join some other Jag owners at a car show, hosted by Mountain
Lake NJ Fire Company, in Belvidere NJ.

There was a Lotus drive the week prior....all the cars get turns...

I hope you all are having a great summer, which sadly will end soon. But fear not, here comes our second favorite season…Fall! I am thinking of Oct 22nd meet & drive (rain date 29th) but unclear if it will be a North, West, or South roads. I'll post the details soon. Please let me know if you would be interested.
