Thanks all. Great pics John. I'll post some more later. Thanks Nino. Even though you couldn't make it, you still got us some great weather.
Couldn't have been a more perfect day for a fall cruise. The colors couldn’t have been much better. 19 Corvettes, 32 awesome people, nice sites and fun stops...and no Benny Hills thanks to my incredible navigator, Sue.
Much thanks to the Enfield, CT Police for 'breaking into' a locked C-3 and to the Mass. State police for helping us get back onto a busy highway after lunch (Thanks Chris).
For those who couldn't make the trip, our agenda was Mt Tom Reservation https://www.mass.gov/locations/mount...te-reservation. From there on to Outlook Farm Barn & Eatery in Westhampton, MA (we got some of their beer, homemade cherry pie and other treats) https://www.outlookfarm.com/. Then some fun twisty roads to the Huntington Country Store https://www.huntingtoncountrystore.com/j/. After picking through their cool stuff, we took a short, scenic drive for a great lunch at the Russell Inn https://www.russellinnrestaurant.com/Home. After lunch, and more scenery, stopped at the Gran-Val Scoop for ice cream http://granvalscoop.com/. Unfortunately it was extremely busy, so we didn't stay and headed to our final destination, at Brignole Vineyards in East Granby, CT https://www.brignolevineyards.com/. What a beautiful spot.
Hope the weather holds and The Posse can squeak in some more rides.

Dave and Sue,
Another awesome cruise complete with great weather, great stops, excellent food at our lunch stop, all a product of the extensive planning needed to pull it off. Only one complaint though. I somehow missed the track stop at Palmer Race course I had so carefully prepared for by installing my Hoosier slicks. Oh well maybe next time. At least I got to experience the improved ride and handling my superlight wheels and tires provided.
Looking forward to the next Posse Cruise.
