UPDATE: 9/22/16 // PLEASE READ // ITINERARY

Not long now... and things are looking really good!
We have collected a nice sized group for this drive -so far it looks like 13 cars are coming! And we even have two new members joining us that are new to NWCC!

There is still time to join in on the fun!
Rooms are still available at Abbycreek Inn and Winthrop Inn.

Please read the following itinerary that show the places and times of our planned stops. We have a lot of ground to cover and a lot to see! We will try to be as flexible as possible. The later start time and the addition of a sit-down lunch cut into our road time, so we'll really need for everyone to try to stick to this schedule as closely as possible. I will have printed copies to give everyone before we head out from Burlington.

Please note that due to the lack of services on this mountainous route, we will be eating lunch after just the first hour of driving and then there will not be another opportunity for a full meal (other than one stop at a 7-11 type store) until we reach Winthrop in late afternoon. Please plan accordingly!

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I'll be posting a final update late Friday night and then it is....
"GO TIME!"
