Quabbin Reservoir Cruise - 6/8/13 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

There's a decent restaurant half a mile south of the junction of 202 and Rt. 2 in Orange. It has a take out window facing the street and a sit-down restaurant inside. I forget the name, but it has a mini-golf place next door and is hard to miss - lots of parking. The other note is that 202 is well patrolled. Gotta keep the speed limit there and slow down for New Salem.

I messed up on one of the dates. 5/6 is a Monday... 5/4 is the Saturday.

Looking like 5/25 so far.

Again, shoot me PMs with your date preference.

I'm all for it, unless other 86's want in, so I'll gladly give my spot up if needed to.

Anyway I'll volunteer to photograph if that's okay with everyone?

sklimo · 04-08-2013, 08:56 PM

I'm in for 5/25

scionfr_s · 04-08-2013, 10:44 PM

I'm down for any date...

4/27 sounds good to me. I going to the roof top meet. For those of you going we can go as a group.

Looks like 5/25 works best for most so far.

That is a long weekend, too. The 27th is Memorial Day.

@Chewie4299

Count me in on any one of the Saturdays.

Edit: I will be gone the entire Memorial Day Weekend camping.

@Chewie4299 PMed you.

4/27 = Can't
5/04 = Unlikely
5/18 = I'm in
5/25 = I'm in

Suggestions:

If you can, get GMRS/FRS radios instead of ones that only do FRS (better range). I'll bring 4.
Wong Garden in Belchertown (tasty and reasonably priced Chinese food) is on your route with plenty of parking and a nearby gas station. Grapevine Grill would be another good option (~4 miles round trip out of your way).
@M-17, there are several scenic photo ops on 202 and in the Quabbin (that it'd be easy to line up ~10 cars for).
You can't drive across Winsor Dam. You could do this alternate Quabbin loop still stopping at the main building, or you could skip the first entrance altogether.
There are some worthwhile backroads nearby that'd add between 10 and 40 miles to your existing loop. If you're interested, I'll give you the details the morning of the meet.
