To start out,we will be on an hour ride of beautiful, scenic, and curve filled roads which will take us to our very first stop at the Depot Museum and the day goes on.

Please RSVP if you think you can make it. It's a full day of great history and fantastic roads. I stopped by to check out the Depot Museum onSunday and was quite surprised as to the volume and categories of history they hold. The original train engine sets outside the depot.
 Hope to see many of you there.
