FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO PRINT THE ROUTE, HERE ARE MY TURN BY TURN NOTES
Rendezvous Point to Saratoga Auto Museum (1 hour at the Museum):
I'm proposing that we meet up at the McDonalds off of Exit 8 on I-87. This McD's has a big parking lot and we should be able to group together in the parking spaces towards the back of the restaurant. The tour will start at 10:30 AM (proposed time, let me know what you guys think) and will not include a stop for lunch, so please ensure you've had something to eat before the tour or carry snacks for on the way. There is a Sunoco close by so everyone can fill up on gas.

- East on County Rd 90/Crescent Road untill we hit Riverview Road.
- County Rd 90 makes a sharp Right at a point and goes North, we need to stay straight to go on to Rvierview Rd.
- The section until Riverview Road is a transport section. Riverview Road has some nice corners that will be fun as the road follows the Mohawk River.
- Turn Right onto 146 and continue onto County Rd 110. County Rd 110 eventually ends at Rte 50.
- Right on Rte. 50 and keep going all the way through Ballston Spa and on towards Saratoga Springs.
- Turn right on Avenue of the Pines and then
- Turn Right into The Saratoga Auto Museum Parking lot.



From Saratoga Auto Museum to Olde Saratoga Brewery - 30 - 45 minutes

PLEASE NOTE. RENDEZVOUS POINT FOR DRIVE.

Google Maps shows the McDonalds at the wrong location if you searched by the address 1517 Crescent Road Clifton Park, NY 12065-7803.

Coming from SOUTH: Take Exit 8 and bear Right. Once you turn Right, the McDonalds will be on your left next to USPS.

Coming from NORTH: Take Exit 8 and turn left. Go over the Northway, and McDonalds will be on your left.

THE GREEN ARROW IN THE PIC BELOW IS WRONG. THE "A" MAP POINT IS WHERE WE ARE MEETING

Post up ideas folks on what we can do. Past suggestions include

- Beer & Breakfast
- Saratoga Auto Museum tour followed by Lunch
- Rte 2 (Taconic Trail) drive to Benington VT

catawalks

I don't have any suggestions as for what to do but I might be able to make it. Perhaps I'll just drive the Insight up to save on gas.
