Quabbin Reservoir Cruise
 

Meetup spot:
Big Y supermarket
1180 Thorndike Street (RT 32)
Palmer, MA
12:00 pm

The idea is to do a cruise that goes around the Quabbin Reservoir via some nice scenic back roads. We would start by meeting at Big Y supermarket in Palmer, MA, right off Exit 8 on the Mass Pike, ideally at noon. From there we would take RT 32 north to the town of Ware and pick up RT 32A and follow that up the east side of the Quabbin to Petersham. Then pick up RT 122 to Orange, then a little ways up RT 202 north to hit up some go karts. Then RT 202 south down the west side of the Quabbin to Belchertown, where we pick up RT 9 east heading back towards Ware. About half way back to Ware we will stop to head up to a lookout tower with a great view of the Reservoir. There is also a nice big parking lot where we could take some pictures. Total length of the cruise is ~77 miles round trip.

Id b down for a cruise!

depending on the day chosen...

Great cruise idea. Me thinks the should be the first meet after everything thaws.
That way everyone is itching for a drive, therefore a better turnout!

yea i think this would be a good way to start off the season

I agree!!! Let's just figure out a day so that I can def have the day off and not miss this!!

thinking early-mid april or may let them get the sand off the roads up there.

God Damn YOU ALLL that early in the season shit was MY IDEA!!!! BAAAHHHHHH!!!!! ok but really Great work Alex!!! Love you like always and like i sed This is our first official meet and i say early May. april is always hit or miss and id hate to keep posponing it for rain and shit. Plus asking for time off at work has to be a Set thing i dont have too many chances in a row for a sat. off If thats wen we do it.

It's better when it's green & not barren out there.
Leaves are past peak right now.

I'm down for it, plus I should have my new engine all done and in the car by then :-)
