Since this is going to be less about cars and more about hanging out, you may think about joining us even if you don't think your car can make the drive. If you have a camper or van or vehicle you'd like to bring instead, you're welcome to.

Remember all gatherings are held the second Saturday of each month, so keep your calendar, day-runner, palm pilot or whatever open!
