AONE'S final drive of 2016 will occur on Saturday, October 22, as we celebrate the sixth running of the Cape Crusade. Since the peripheral weather from Hurricane Matthew soaked us over the Columbus Day weekend as it did its U-Turn on the Florida east coast, we are hoping for a beautiful fall day on Olde Cape Cod for our drive. The event will go if it is overcast or a little damp at the start with a forecast for clearing. A forecast for heavy rain will cancel the drive, as there will be no rain date. The Webmaster will send a "GO/NO GO" message to all hands by no later than noon on Friday, October 21.
Directions to the Crusade Start After getting on the Cape, take Route 6 (the Mid-Cape Highway) to Exit 9A (the exit sign says "134 South, Dennisport"). Go south to the second stop light and turn left on T.F. Smith Road. Take the first left (Enterprise Road) into the parking lot. The Dunkin' Donuts store is on the corner just past the Cinema. There are several gas stations on Route 134 after you get off the Mid-Cape at Exit 9A for those who need to refuel or use restrooms. There is also a restroom in the Dunkin' Donuts. If you get lost, call my cell phone for a Ground Controlled Approach. |

This year the Wellfleet Oyster Festival will occur the weekend before our drive so the back roads of the Lower Cape (Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown) are available for us to negotiate. These curvy roads allow a slightly quicker event than is permitted on Route 6A. As before, we will meet at the Dunkin' Donuts store in Patriots Square at 9:30 a.m. for coffee, donuts, car talk and photo op. After a driver's meeting at 10 a.m. and the distribution of high tech maps of the route we will depart. Anyone who is still en route at 10 should call my cell phone 617-927-0057 and we will wait for you or tell you where to rendezvous with us. At the end of the drive we will have lunch at the
