Hello Friends of the Road,
Are any of you planning on dressing up as a revolutionary war soldier for Halloween? I know it is is traditional to dress up as something scary, but why not something educational? As the leaves fall off the trees, things are changing fast and soon we’ll be in “stick season”. That is one of my least favorite times of the year. I’ll try to focus on enjoying the outdoors as much as I can before it gets too cold and too dark.
I have a special offering for you all today. Thanks to a very generous CPRA member, there is a limited time only opportunity to visit a local memorial. it is located in Mount Holly and is on private land, thus the reason why it is a limited time only offer. On the site, there is a plaque placed by parents of a young soldier that was killed in WW1 while in France. Dennis will lead a couple hikes to see the plaque this coming week. The weather looks good for some of the days. If you cannot make one this week, he plans to offer several more over the next 3 weeks. He will not finalize the days and times until he sees some responses from interested people. The hikes will be offered sometime between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The hike would be rather short. For more details or to report your interest, please let us know!
I have one more topic for you all today. It is about an outing that is expected to be part of our 2020 outing schedule. Jim Rowe will likely lead another car tour to cover the next segment of the Taverns, Homesteads, and Other Points of Interest Tour. It will continue from where this year’s tour ended, in the Cavendish/Ludlow area. If any of you would like to contribute or help in anyway, please contact us. Perhaps you have a story to tell, a site to invite the tour to, or a site to recommend. Any help is welcome. Thanks!
That is all I have for now. I hope you all are doing well. Soon we’ll be “stuck” inside more, so be sure to enjoy the opportunities we have left for the year.
Cheers!
-Dale Christie, Secretary
