Mother Nature & Marsha Z. Deliver Great Spring Cruise!
In a year when winter doesn’t want to quit and spring seems to
want to wait for summer, the HMCCC Spring Cruisers managed
to pick the best day of the year (so far) to explore the geography
between New Markets (MD and VA). Thanks to Marsha’s flawless
game plan and Mother Nature’s cooperation the trip was
great!
Folks shoulda known something was up when the Zimmerman
party (EZ, Marsha & Bob Wagner) showed up in duelling
Camaro convertibles and the Riggses and grandson Marc had
dropped the top Linda’s Olds. That and the fact the wind, snow,
rain and otherwise typical weather was absent for a change.
For the record, besides the Camaros of the Zs and Bob W.
and the Riggs’ F-85, a passel of trifivesdid make the trip: The Bakers,
Rileys and Steins in their ‘57s, the Schneiders in their ‘55, and the
Thompsons in their ‘56. The Rosenbergers were in their Chevelle. The
Smith’s Chevy was somewhat newer and the Andersons pushed their luck
leaving the city limits in a Ford.
After a welcome pit stop and catch-up at a Sheetz in Boyce, VA,
the caravan headed to Fort Jackson, VA and the Route 11 Potato Chip
Factory. Who’da thunk a potato chip factory would be that interesting.
That Marsha knows her peeps!
The next stop was The Southern Kitchen in New Market,
VA for lunch. The vittles was good and the folks friendly at the
S.K. and everyone seemed to acknowledge that Marsha, again,
had called it. Keep the place in mind next time your heading
south thru VA.
After lunch we headed over the mountain for Luray, VA and
Cooter’s Place. We all know what a huge contribution The
Dukes of Hazzard made to the fabric of American culture and
Cooter’s chain of nostalgia emporiums are making sure we
never forget it!
After enjoying Cooter’s as much as we could stand folks
kinda scattered and, as far as we know, all made it home safe
and sound. At the risk of giving Marsha the big head; thank’s,
great job! You too, Mother Nature!
