Dear Members,

Welcome to summer and a chance to use our Miata's the way they were meant to be used.  Three of us made the trip to Winter Clove Inn for a great weekend of relaxation up in the mountains.  The weather was just perfect and we took a ride over to Olana for a tour of the Hudson River artist Frederick Church's residence.

After having 3 full meals a day we needed help to get in and out of the Miata's.  Another route took us to the town of Windham for some shopping and site seeing.  The views along Route 23 in the mountains are spectacular.  These roads are just made for Miata's with plenty of "S" curves and dips.

This past weekend we wrapped our trip to Cape Ann MA.  As per Big Apple tradition we left in a storm, tropical storm Andrea no less.   We had six cars and took the Port Jeff Ferry over to Bridgeport so we could stop at Cabela's on the way up.  Most members ate some of the wild game offerings on their lunch menu such as Bison Brat, Elk Burger, Trout Burger, and Duck Wings.  Of course we all purchased sporting goods at this huge store.

Continuing up to Cape Ann we all became separated due to the heavy rain on the highway and since we all had our own GPS we followed our own unique routes and arrived within minutes of each other from different directions.  The weather cleared out on Saturday and Paul took us around for site seeing and shopping.  The food was great and everyone had their fill of Lobster and sea food.

Our next events are the Strawberry Pickin' ride and then the Picnic.  Let's have a good turn-out.  Bob.
