FRIDAY, September 7: We will depart from Atlanta at 9:30 AM, sharp. Our rally spot is the Waffle House on Flat Shoals Road west of Atlanta off I-20. We want 15 cars! (Remember, you have to be in good standing with the national CLC to join us for this tour.) We will stop in Alabama’s lake country. Roger Williams and Lewis Kelly, our resident experts, will lead the way. We will arrive at Alexander City to visit the Wellborn Museum. http://www.wellbornmusclecarmuseum.com/ We'll have a late lunch at Lake Martin’s lovely Kowaligah.
We will drive south an hour to Tuskegee and visit the Air Museum there, which features the WWII Air Squadron, The Red Tails. https://www.nps.gov/tuai/index.htm Then on down to the loveliest city on the river, Eufaula. We have reserved rooms at the Lodge at Lakepoint Resort State Park in Eufaula, AL. After dinner we are contemplating a restful evening lakeside, maybe a walk around the park, and plenty of time to catch up with old friends.
SATURDAY, September 8: A relaxing weekend with Nature: After breakfast drop a line into the lake, take a leisurely walk. We will provide a couple of canopy tents, coolers with cold drinks, and snacks to get you through the day. The lake is gorgeous, and we’ve been told that one can rent a pontoon boat from the marina. A driving tour of Eufaula Historic Homes is said to be awesome, so we may organize that if we get enough volunteers. We will scout the area for restaurants, but if all else fails, we will have a group dinner at the lodge. Evening again by the fire, feet up with an adult beverage. Or two.
SUNDAY, September 9: We will return to Atlanta on Sunday morning. It figures to be a more direct route home, around three hours if you choose the freeway. We should arrive home before late afternoon. Details are laid out in the registration form. Get that Cadillac tuned up! Bring your fishing gear, boots, hiking attire, chairs, a tent if you wish, a cooler, and your evening beverages!
