About this event
Welcome to the Peachtree Section, Mercedes Benz Club of America January Winter Mountain Drive! We have had to update our destination as the Frogtown Cellars are under renovation. Our drive will not change much, but our stopping point will be the School Bus Graveyard in Alto GA.
Please note, while the cost to come on the drive is free, there is an entry fee for the Graveyard of $10 per person.
This event is free and open to members and non-members alike. Mercedes cars are preferred but all are welcome. If you are a non-member you will have an opportunity to join the club.
Bundle up and check your heaters! Let's hit the road for a crisp January mountain run! Our destination is the amazing art installation School Bus Graveyard, where we will enjoy some camaraderie and snacks for sale on site.
Our drive will begin in front of Wild Wing Cafe near the outlets on 400 (796 GA-400, Dawsonville, GA 30534)at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 13, 2024. This drive will start a bit differently as we will head southeast on 53 making our way through Gainesville up north to a stop at the School Bus Graveyard. From there we will head north and west past Buck Shoals Wildlife Management, and mossy creek, past Cleveland to Frogtown Cellars. From here we have options and will leave it to the group to decide. One is to head home via Neels Gap for some twists and turns. Here is the drive in Google Maps:
