PA 5th Mid-PA Mini-Dragon Meet!

Fifth time hosting this meet up same as last time.

Saturday May 8th 2021 (rain date would be the 15th)


7:45am meet up at Arbys

9am at Buddys

Arby's, (7720 Main St, Fogelsville, PA 18051)
Buddy's Log Cabin Family Restaurant, (97 Tremont Rd, Pine Grove, PA 17963)


Same as last time
Meet up will be at Buddy's Log Cabin Family Restaurant, (97 Tremont Rd, Pine Grove, PA 17963) around 9am for brunch.
There is a gas station a few miles north of Buddy's on 125


Then drive the mini-dragon on this path(or one close to it)

(replace xxx with www)
https://xxx.google.com/maps/dir/Budd...2541!3e0?hl=en


about route 125(drive at your own limits)
Rt 125 is equal parts scenic and challenging. Coming down the mountain on the Shamokin side there are some serious downhill hairpins that you need to pay attention to, so stay within your limits and pay attention to the road! On a nice day there may be some amount of sport bike traffic, so watch out for our two wheeled friends and be aware that they will be looking to pass (no matter how quick you may be going :-)). Bottom line, pay attention to the road and your surroundings and everyone will have a great day!

Extremely tempting! Would this just be Saturday only? Buddy's is a 5 hour drive for me from MA so I'd most likely have to make a weekend trip out of it. Head out Friday night, leave Sunday...

My issue is how do I get my other toy (2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon (LJR)) down there as well since this loop takes you around Rausch Creek Off Road park haha!

1: rent a uhal flat trailer
2: tow the 8 with the jeep
3: ???
4: profit

Its normally only a single day affair. One year we made 3 or 4 passes in the day.

A few years ago a member up in Niagara falls ny came down with his wife. They stayed Fri and Saturday night at a local hotel.

Also I think keck would freak out if he's not the only LY there

Yup, it was me, 6 hour drive from the Falls, was a lot of fun, want to do it again, not sure if the wife can make the trip, keeping my eyes on the thread will try to make it, but you know, life happens.
FYI, make sure your brakes are up for the task, specially if you start boiling the fluid, just saying.

If you guys are rolling through the area (sunbury/shamokin) after 3P I'll make sure I meet up with yas somewhere. (Yes, in the 8) otherwise I'll still be at work.

Saw Dragon, said "all in!" until I realized it's PA, not VA. Have fun -- the google map shows this should be a great ride!

Less than a week to go bump, current weather prediction is partly cloudy and a high of 60.

Also just a reminder that we are meeting up at buddys log cabin at 9am, however some of us local guys east of buddys meet up at an arbys and cruise there together.

7:45am meet up at Arbys (7720 Main St, Fogelsville, PA 18051)
9am at Buddys (97 Tremont Rd, Pine Grove, PA 17963)

If anyone would like my cell number for the day of, shoot me a PM.
