GREAT PIE RUN #4

WHEN: January 30, 2009 at 9:00am SHARP from our starting point: Hyattstown Volunteer Fire Department, 25801 Frederick Rd, Clarksburg, MD 20871

Note: We leave at 9am, but please plan to be there by 8:30a to sign-in, get route information, and other preparations.

Stop #1: Catoctin Mountain Orchard in Thurmont, MD (near Camp David). A few of us have been known to leave CMO w/ 12+ pies. CMO is a Mom & Pop operation specializing in homemade pies, either baked or frozen. They also have fresh fruits, preserves, jams, jellies, dressings and cider.

Note: I highly recommend ordering your pies ahead of time since we are a large group. The pies can be ordered freshly baked or frozen. Some people brought a cooler with them to keep their pies from sliding around in the trunk, especially since we have a lot more fun driving to do. When you place your order, reference the "BMW group" as the group you are with. The pies range in price from $8.95-$10.95. Check their site for the different types of pie.

IMPORTANT: The deadline for calling or emailing in orders for pies is COB, Thursday, January 28th. Pies I have eaten: Apple Walnut, Strawberry, Cherry Crumb, Peach, Peach Blueberry, Blueberry, Four Berry.

Stop #2: Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, WV for lunch. We have gone here many times in the past and they have excellent, authentic German food.

Stop #3: From the Bavarian Inn, we will travel to Loudoun County, VA for an afternoon wine tasting (winery TBD). Everyone who has attended the past pie runs had high praise for the wine selection. Afterwards, you can either go home or hit the Leesburg Outlets.

The route is full of fun, empty, twisty roads. This will be a great day for a drive with people who share your obsession.
