DATE: Sunday, October 19

WHERE: Lake of the Ozarks, MO

Meet at the Wal-Mart in Osage Beach, MO, at 12:30. The address is 4252 Highway 54. We will roll out promptly at 1:00 for a 90-mile tour of the roads surrounding the Lake of the Ozarks. These roads are all paved, no gravel. This should be a very good time to view the fall foliage while we have fun driving our cars.

ALL vintage or modern musclecars are invited to attend.

Here is the route that we will be taking. There will be a few small towns that we will pass through. Just click on the link.

During the first 1/3 part of the cruise, there is a place called Jacobs Cave in Gravois Mills. I checked their web site and the normal price for their tours are $15. We can possibly get a group discount if we have 15 people or more. The discount would be 1/2 price. This would be a great photo op place as well. There would be several of us who can take pictures of everyones car and e-mail them to you.

I looked at the state web site to see when the best possible dates are for peak time for the leaves. They indicated the middle of the month. The date of this cruise is right in that time frame for peak season. Since this routes takes us around Lake of the Ozarks, there should also be some places to get some water shots.

Please reply to this post if you are interested in going. Once I get 15 people interested in the Jacobs Cave tour, I will call to make arrangements.

LETS CRUISE.........

I'd like to go but it's about a 4hr. drive for me.... Sounds like a great drive, the Ozarks would be very scenic this time of year for sure!!

I work in Rocky Mount and the leaves are still fairly green here, but some of the color is starting to peek through. A great photo opportunity is at the end of W-12 highway. Follow it to the end, bearing left all the way, and at the end of the road is a ferry that takes you to Atlantis Island Condos. If you get any pictures let me know and I will post them on our blog (www.atlantisislandcondosloto.blogspot.com) and on our myspace (www.myspace.com/atlantisisland). Enjoy your trip!
