Dave;
Great job on the 2016 Fall cruise!
Cool to see the snow in Florida!
Super routes and you brought more great people together to build more friendships.
You even saved the day preventing Bobs vette from getting hit!
Super day and thanks a million!

For those inquiring minds, this is where we went;
Started in Enfield, CT and traveled north on I-91 to Greenfield, MA. Then headed west on the Mohawk Trail (Rt.2) to North Adams, MA. Found snow in Florida, MA. We started up Notch Road to the Mount Greylock summit, but were turned away because of 6 inches of snow and ice from the night before. The warden had closed the park this morning. Bummer. http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dcr...n-generic.html.
Went back to Rt. 2 and headed into NY and drove south on Rt. 22. into Richmond, MA and had some wine tastes (and purchases) at the Furnace Brook Winery. http://www.furnacebrookwinery.com/.
Then on to Bartlett's Orchard for apples, cider, jams, donuts, pies or whatever.
http://www.bartlettsorchard.com/. Getting hungry, we drove to the Barrington Brewery and Restaurant where they had set up a nice buffet for us. Picked up some brewskies to take home, too. http://barringtonbrewery.net. Still heading south on Rt. 7, we stopped at the Berkshire Mountain Distillers for a nice tour by the owner, some free tastes and, for those who wanted, purchased some awesome rums, vodkas, gins or bourbons. http://berkshiremountaindistillers.com/. Heading home we all stopped at the Barkhamsted reservoir for some pics and then headed home. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saville_Dam.
Almost 200 miles of nice, scenic roads and fun stops with friends is a good way to spend any day. The Posse rides.

Weather killed Saturday plans, had to change them to Sunday. I bought my son a Scion TC Standard, and had to teach him to drive stick. I do like that little car. Lots of fun to drive. Hard to hand over the keys.

Dave & Sue,
Many thanks for organizing and orchestrating another fine Posse ride. Always fun but you hit it out of the park this year.
Good to ride with all the Posse participants... old and new, and special thanks to those posting pics. .

Dave: We Had a great time yesterday even though my pinky did not! It got even blacker when I got home but I am still able to bend it somewhat thanks to the ice from Mickey D's right after I slammed it in the door. Still hoping not to loose the nail.
Dave: my friend Roman wanted to thank you for planning this event and he was probably the only one happy I slammed my finger cuz he got to drive more! ( not really, he did call me later to check on it).
