Fall Adirondack Drive 2017

Fair Haven Inn

About this event

NEQ Autumn in the Adirondacks 2017
Great cars, great roads, great fun and all with great people!

Please join us on Saturday, September 30, 2017, for the NEQ Autumn in the Adirondacks Event, where we'll drive through some of the best twisty and scenic country roads the Adirondacks has to offer.

This all day trip was planned with all drivers in mind. If the “curvy road ahead” sign gets you excited, roads like the ones through Ilion & Frankfort Gorge, Blue Ridge Road, Ensign Pond Road, and Tracy Road are sure to please. Even if the twisties aren't at the top of your list, the scenery will be just as impressive as the roads. Fall in the Adirondacks is a feast for the eyes. The views of the red, orange, and gold backdrop contrasting the mountain lakes and rivers, bring travelers from thousands of miles away to observe nature’s beauty. The stunning panorama of Lake Champlain at the Crown Point State Historic Site is a sight you won't soon forget.

Families are welcome! This trip is a great opportunity to bring your family for a day of fun in your Audi—great driving doesn't only happen at the track. (We encourage you to obey all traffic laws.)

For logistical reasons, registration is limited to 30 cars.  We had an incredible response to the 2016 event, register early so you don't miss out.



Details:
The drive will depart at 10:00 AM from the Iroquois Travel Plaza on I-90W which is just before exit 29A in Little Falls, NY. There will be a short drivers briefing before departure. Maps & directions will be distributed at check-in. Although not required, all participants are encouraged to use a 2-way (FRS) radio, which will be provided.

After the first leg of the drive we will stop in Speculator, NY for a picnic lunch overlooking Lake Pleasant. In case of rain, there is a fully enclosed picnic shelter. You are welcome to bring lunch, or choose our lunch option, which will be provided by Timberline Café & Bakery in Speculator. For those who choose the lunch option, menu options will be sent for your selection via email about a month before the event.


 

The drive will conclude in Fair Haven, VT with an optional banquet at the Fair Haven Inn. The banquet is available to all club members and non-members even if you do not wish to attend the drive.  Dinner will begin at 6:15, a cash bar will be available. Casual attire is acceptable
