Fall Foliage Tour

Time: We will meet between 8:30–9:30am for a prompt 9:45am departure time.

Where: The meeting place is right off I-70. We will gather in the parking lot of the Weis Market in Frederick, MD. A McDonalds and gas stations are nearby. [google map]

Bring: A full tank of gas, an appetite, money for food ($20 per person should more than cover the meal), and a FRS or GMRS handheld radio (tuned to channel 7, subchannel 21) if you own one! It’s not a necessity to own a radio but it makes it easier for us to keep in contact. Gina and I picked up our radios at Costco for $75.00 which included 3 radios, charger base, and earbuds.

Info: This route will take us through the Frederick, Catoctin, and Emmitsburg Watersheds and over the 3 covered bridges in Frederick County. The scenery on this tour is breathtaking and the roads are demanding and exciting. We will stop and enjoy lunch at the historic Cozy Inn in Thurmont, MD. The unique Cozy, EST. 1929, is the oldest established restaurant in the state of Maryland still operated by the founding family. The restaurant is excellent and the prices extremely reasonable. After lunch, we will continue the tour ending at Starbucks in Mt. Airy near I-70. There will be some tremendous photo opportunities on this run, so bring the cameras and/or video equipment. The route is different than the Covered Bridge Tour in June. If you attended or missed the Covered Bridge Tour in June, you are in for a real treat.

Cost: FREE and open to all.
