CarlB Posted June 13, 2016 Report Posted June 13, 2016 We will go up 270 to get to Germantown but on the way home I plan to go on the ferry.
GreenCactus Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Posted June 14, 2016 I've updated the event with the mid-point stop of Rocky Point Creamery http://rockypointcreamery.com/ We'll arrive there around 11:30 (when they open), so it shouldn't be too crowded yet. I'm pushing our departure time back to 10:15 in order to get us there closer to 11:30am. The parking lot IS gravel, but it should be ok for us. I'm doing the final route check this weekend and I'll update if the lot is going to be any issue for anyone. I've been there a few times before and it was fine.

GreenCactus Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I completed the final route check this morning and we're good to go for Saturday!! :motor::motor::motor::motor::motor: This was a perfect example of why you need to actually drive the roads and not just rely on a map. Several of the roads that looked to be paved on the map were most definitely not! I lost track of how many times I turned around today. There are NO gravel/dirt/otherwise unpaved roads on the route. The parking lot at the Creamery is gravel, but it's fine, very level and no holes or drop offs. Craig - I keep reading your RSVP comment as "server ROBOTS"! Edited June 19, 2016 by GreenCactus .
SneakyBaron Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Craig - I keep reading your RSVP comment as "server ROBOTS"! I wish they were, then they could restart themselves!
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 We just found out that Mark's parents are coming to visit on Saturday and help us with stuff at the house. So we're going to come but leave from the Creamery so that we can get home in time to meet up with them. We need to prep the garage for the tint party which means build the fire pit so there's room for a MINI in the garage and the fire pit is on the deck where it belongs Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

GreenCactus Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Posted June 24, 2016 For those that are taking the Ferry (either to the run, in the middle of the run or after the run), please be aware there is a big event going on in the picnic shelter. It is the Poolesville Military Support Group’s Annual Outing to Entertain Wounded Military Personnel and Benefit Fisher House and Yellow Ribbon Campaign. They will be busing in about 100 wounded soldiers, caregivers and family members from Walter Reed and Fort Belvoir. The buses will be escorted by motorcycles that will leave from Cuginis between 10:00am and 11:30am. This is no way will interfere with our event, but there will likely be a lot more people at the ferry than usual. I expect this to be more of an issue if you are leaving the run early to head back than at any other time. :motor::motor::motor:
