C7 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist 2021
I attended last year but had conflict that was preventing me from attending this year. However, a last minute change in my schedule is allowing me to at least cruise with the group but unsure if I can attend lunch.
That said, I see that the starting point is at Michigan Memorial Park Cemetery 32163 W. Huron Dr, Flat Rock, Michigan. What time is the round up at the cemetery? BTW, one car, one person!

Yes boys and girls, I'm sorry to say but it's getting to be that time of year again so....get ready to shine your Vettes and CTS-V's, and rev your engines for the-end-of-the-driving-season world-famous Dexter Cider Mill Cruise which is set for Saturday, October 21st!
Please pass this invitation on to any friends who may be interested in attending.
We will gather together for an afternoon of cruising with Mother Nature’s cooperation. This cruise will be an all back roads ride through the scenic Michigan countryside. And as always, the caravan will travel in packs, and no one is left behind to fend for themselves.
I'm looking for volunteers to be a "pack leader." Maps and driving directions will be provided.
Lunch will be at the Common Grille in Chelsea, MI
After lunch, it's on to the Dexter Cider mill!!!
Here’s the link to the Dexter Cider Mill website: http://www.dextercidermill.com/
Dexter is a very quaint town that resembles Mayberry RFD. During the fall season, there are several festivals going on in the main Town Square.
The Dexter Cider Mill has been in existence for over 100 years, and has the great unfiltered cider we all enjoyed as a kid. The cinnamon doughnuts are greasy and sugary, and they also sell the usual wide fare of apple related items in the store.
Don't forget to bring your fly swatters so you can whack away at the bees that will be circling your cider cup! (seriously, I'm bringing one!)
When we arrive Dexter, we will drive and park as close to or on the property of the cider mill as we can.
Here’s the itinerary:
Cruise In Date: Saturday, October 21st.
If it rains, the event will be cancelled. I will post the cancellation on the forum and my Facebook page.
Cruise Location Starting Point: Huron High School parking lot. Address: 32044 Huron River Drive, New Boston. (Across the street from Michigan Memorial Park Cemetery. If you need assistance confirming the location, just email me at luvmyc6@comcast.net)
Mingle Time/Assembly of Caravan/Line Up of Cars: 10:00 am.
Depart for Cruise: 10:30 am. If we have stragglers, and someone is running late because of traffic problems, or you are lost, please call me or text me on my cell at 313-220-4949, and we’ll accommodate you if the wait isn’t too long!
Arrive Common Grill: 11:30 am.
Address: 112 South Main Street Chelsea, MI 48118
http://www.commongrill.com/
We will depart Common Grille between 2:00 and 2:30 since there have been requests in the past to linger and shop in some of the very quaint stores in town for the ladies.
End Rally Point: The Dexter Cider Mill.
3685 Central Street Dexter, MI
When you RSVP, don't forget to mention how many in your party so I can give The Common Grille a final head count.

Thanks for the updates everyone.
George/Gloria: so sorry to hear that you can't come this year. We will miss you so much, and thank you again for getting the word out to the CTS-V group.

Thanks for the route update reminder Kev! I will have printed copies of Kevin's updated directions if anyone needs one.
Also, as another reminder, the parking lot at the Dexter Cider Mill is not that big and can be very crowded. It's parking there at your own risk.
To avoid all of this, there is a parking lot located at 3515 Broad Street which has about 30 parking spaces. I highly recommend that you park your Vettes there.
Kev: make a mental note to take us to the parking lot when you are escorting us to the cider mill.
See all of you soon! Enjoy the warm weather this weekend, the high on Wednesday will go no higher than 49!

Great tour - Great colors
Thanks to everyone that helped organize this ride. We had a great time on the revised route as it took us through some great roads with minimal traffic lights. Another set of thanks go out to all the group leaders that got us through the round-abouts and traffic.
Certain parts were like driving through a multi-huge tunnel as the tree branches from both sides of the road converged to the center.
Great food at the restaurant in Chelsea and nice cold cider and donuts in Dexter. A great way to close out the season. Looking forward to next year!!

Thank you so much everyone for coming and making this last cruise one of the best ever! The weather was beyond spectacular. Can’t get any better that this!
For most of us this was our last cruising hurrah for the year as it is supposed to get down into the 50s and 40s by Wednesday. Going to take the C7 In for an oil change and detailing, then it’s under wraps until May 2018.
See all of you next year!

I had a GREAT time once again and the New Routes were AWESOME especially the Territorial Road stretch which had some nice curves, hills and tree-lined with Beautiful Fall Color. Thought I would put a name with the car so you know who's writing!
