Go down the Right leg. The house is the third driveway on the left. You will not see the house. The second and third driveways are side by side. If you see new houses close to the street on the left you went too far. Special thanks to Carl and Faith for hosting! Parking: There is space for about 15 to 20 MINIS in the driveway.

Event Title: The Western Loop - Family and Pet Run! Event Date: 08/18/2018 08:45 AM Event Address: 1200 Wolf Rock Drive, Purcellville, Virginia, 20132, United States UPDATE: I screwed up with the pet policy at Dinosaur Land. They aren't allowed in the park or gift shop so a few of us have volunteered to puppy sit dogs in the parking lot to give everyone a chance to tour the park and gift shop. Sorry! Added Route Map and Route Sheet. With a focus on some family and pet friendly destinations! Highlights: Stop 1: Dinosaur Land - http://dinosaurland.com/ - Open for 50 years, this roadside attraction features over 50 dinosaurs, inviting visitors to step into the world of the prehistoric past, turning back the pages of time to the Mesozoic era, when dinosaurs were the only creatures that roamed the earth. PET POLICY FOR DINOSAUR LAND: Dogs aren't allowed in this park. Sorry about that, my mistake! A few of us have volunteered to puppy sit in the parking lot to give everyone a chance to tour the park and gift shop. Stop 2: Marker Miller Orchard - http://www.markermillerorchards.com/ Relax while sitting on the front porch in our rocking chairs and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. Or go on an adventure, by purchasing containers and going out to pick your very own fruits and vegetables (check for availability throughout the season). We have many picnic tables, so feel free to pack a lunch or purchase food from our food building when it is open (every weekend August-October). Inside the market there are a variety of products to choose from and don’t forget to check out our bakery and the apple cider donuts. Wrap up your visit with a stop by our “Sweets Shop” where you can select from fresh made fudge, hand dipped ice cream, or cider slushees. PET POLICY FOR MARKER MILLER ORCHARD: Dogs are not allowed inside the market, but are welcome on the rest of the property. Please make sure they are on a leash at all times and provide cleanup when needed.

DCMM F55 CLASS PHOTO!!!

Nice! Was there a special tool necessary for this? I always heard the serpentine belt was a very expensive maintenance. Glad you could knock it out yourself!

You aren't looking well.. you might be sick!

Sorry for the confusion. This event happens immediately after the Meet and Greet at MINI of Sterling. So we will be meeting and leaving from there. The drive will take us to Magnolia's for lunch with plans to stop at Dragon Hops, Otium Cellars, and Bluemont Vineyard after lunch. You are welcome to join us for as little or as much as you like! I will update the event start address to reflect the dealership. ?

Update: Our first stop is changing! We will have lunch at Magnolia's at the Mill (West End doesn't do lunch /forehead)

Please join us! It will be a great time!
