[WPTA] George Yonker Memorial Tour & Car Show @ Krepps Covered Bridge......update

[abcoz at hky.com]

The Iron Butt version takes 2 hours and 40 minutes to run, so I’d say between 9 and 10 would be fine.  Probably closer to 9 would be best.  Earlier, if you like.

Bud,

For the iron but, what time do you suggest leaving your place?

For those of you not wanting to do the driving tour, but still wanting to show your appreciation of George, You can just go to Krepps Covered Bridge, in Mt. Pleasant Township, on Covered Bridge Road.  Google Maps will take you there.  You can arrive & register for the car show (no charge, BTW) anytime after 9:30, Sunday morning.  I don’t know when registration closes, but I’m sure you will be welcomed with open arms, whenever you arrive.

 

For those hardy souls planning to do some DRIVING, tomorrow morning, here is the latest:

 

1.	PADOT has been VERY busy, in Washington County, for the past many weeks and, in particular, in Mt. Pleasant Twp.  So, although most roads that have been oiled & chipped are just fine to drive our cars on, by now, be advised that the road I live on (and which you will have to drive on, to get to registration) was just done this past Thursday.  It’s really not a problem, provided you are not in a hurry.
2.	To avoid most of the oil & chips, if you are coming from Bridgeville (via route 50), or Canonsburg (via 980, to 50), drive past the first turn onto Southview Road and go to the next turn, onto Southview Road, about 2.5 mile farther west, on route 50.  Then, you will only have a ½ mile of slow running, to get over the oil & chips.
3.	Leaving the start of the tour, the 92 mile tour route turns left, leaving my driveway and goes 1/3 of a mile, before turning onto freshly PAVED (zero gravel/oil & chips!) Baker Road.
4.	The 64 mile route turns left, out of my driveway and goes back to route 50, into Hickory.  If you’d rather avoid the oil & chips, on Southview Road and a short stretch of them, on Wabash Ave. (total distance of well under one mile), in Hickory, we can easily do that.  Just ask me, when you get here and I’ll hook you up.

 

This morning, I finally finished the odometer check, on the 92 mile route and the roads are in great shape.  Both routes use some of the same roads and I promise you that you will not be disappointed with the roads, or the great scenery, particularly on a sunny day and viewed from the many ridges you’ll be travelling along.

 

Let’s have a STRONG showing for George!
