Winter Wromp 2012
Saturday, Feb 25^th

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean we’re hibernating – nope; not us and not our MGs. Instead we’re getting reading for our first driving event of the year. We call it the Winter Romp and it’s simply a get-together where we partake of some scenic roads, enjoy a few interesting sites, and break bread together somewhere along the way. It’s great for you and it’s great for your MG – not good to let them sit too long. We start in the morning and we get home by late afternoon.

Over the years, we’ve headed out to virtually all points of the compass. This year we’re gona head a little north and a little west and, in the process, we’ll see a little of Maryland and a little of Virginia. We’ll meet at Carderock Park just off the Capital Beltway in Maryland at 9:45 AM on Saturday, Feb 25th. From there we’ll wind our way along scenic back roads to Boonesboro where we’ll have lunch at the Old South Mountain Inn. Following lunch we’ll head south and cross back into the Old Dominion somewhere between Point of Rocks and Harpers Ferry. We’ll get you back home safe and sound by late afternoon.

So, here’s the plan. Reserve Saturday, February 25th on your calendar. Meet up at 9:45 AM at Carderock Park. Like most of our events, it’s rain or shine unless the weather is deemed really hazardous. In short; it’s easy, it’s fun; and you don’t want to miss out! Would be helpful if you could let us know if you plan to attend but if you decide to come at the last minute, that’s just fine too. If you have any questions, feel free to give one of us a call. Jim is at 703-536-9282; Steve is at 703-207-9048.

Directions:

From Virginia, take the Beltway north towards Rockville. When you reach the Potomac at the American Legion Bridge, get in the far right-hand lane and take the exit at the end of the bridge. This is the first exit in Maryland. Once on the exit ramp bear left and head northwest of the Beltway about a half mile or so. Then take your first exit for the David Taylor Research Center and Carderock Park. At the stop sign go left towards the park. At the first T-intersection, go right and then take an immediate left into the parking area which is where we’ll meet. From Maryland, head towards Tysons Corner in Virginia and take the Carderock exit which is the last exit in Maryland immediately before the American Legion Bridge. Follow directions above to the park.
