The
weatherguessers were saying the rain would hold off till late at night….they
lied! Surprise? The impending forecast kept many home Friday
August 7th but some still came out….like David and his gnarly blue
Mustang from Culpeper, about 40 miles away!
And Warren just brought his blue/black ’47 Chebbie from NY to visit. But around 8PM it started to sprinkle and the
cruise folded up.
Saturday
we had planned a cruise to Wardensville, WV to attend the monthly cruise at the
Quarter Mile Diner. The day was gorgeous
so we left Stafford and began our 74 mile leg to Luray and the first pit stop. Along the way we checked out Cooters place in
Sperryville, VA….yup, the same Cooter that was in Dukes of Hazzard.
After
we emptied our bladders and filled the tanks we continued on the next 58 mile
leg of the cruise to Wardensville, WV. As
cruised through Front Royal, VA we drove past a show at the local Chevy dealer….looked
like a lot of nice cars. When we arrived
at the diner there was one other car, Scott’s black Mustang! We parked and checked out the memorabilia the
owner of the diner displays then sat down to check out the food. Coincidently three of us ordered the Nitro
Burger….it was very good and could defiantly put a little pop in your
step! We visited with Scott for a while
then decided it was time to start our 98 mile return by a different route that
included a stint on the Mother Road, Rt. 66.
Going out we used back roads exclusively but on the return trip we used
Interstates as much as we could. It was
a great day driving the scenic Virginia highways….you should go with us some day….you
really are missing an enjoyable part of our hobby if you don’t get out once in
a while. Shows are cool, cruises are
enjoyable too….but out on the road is where it’s at….
