Georgia Plantation Cruise - May 1

[tuband]

Announcing Tuband's Plantation Cruise This will be a one day cruise with an option to stay over Sat. night (highly recommended). Covered Bridge at Watson Mill State Park Entrance to Di-Lane Plantation I should have some packets of information on the areas we're visiting but here are some interesting links to whet your appetite for this cruise. http://www.milledgevillecvb.com/ http://www.madisonga.org/ http://www.gastateparks.org/info/watson/ http://www.washingtonwilkes.com/site/ http://sherpaguides.com/georgia/wild..._south/33.html UPDATED INFO - Please read If you are planning to stay at the Steadman House, make your reservation now. They will not hold the rooms much longer after 4/15. If you are planning to eat BBQ at the Di-Lane Plantation (final stop) I need a head count ASAP for the caterers. The cost will be $15.00 per couple and this needs to mailed to me so that I receive it no later than Saturday, April 24 (one week before the cruise). Send a check to: George Jones 723 Wood Valley Road Waynesboro, GA 30830 My email address is below. Please email me so that I can more quickly update the participant's list as well as send group emails with the final instructions, itinerary, etc. The cruise will begin at approx. 9:00 am in Milledgeville, GA and continue north to Madison and points beyond. Following lunch in Madison the cruise will continue to the Watson Mill Covered Bridge, then east to the Augusta area, then south to Waynesboro where we will have a BBQ at Di-Lane Plantation. The route will follow a portion of the Antebellum Trail as well as other scenic roads through this area of Georgia. Several stops are planned along the way and, if all arrangements can be made, we will be able to visit a late 1700s mansion that was not burned by Sherman. Guys will enjoy the roads and the wives will love the scenery. HOTEL INFO Steadman House Bed & Breakfast 828 North Liberty Street Waynesboro, GA 30830 877-853-9439 Highly recommended ... They are holding 4 rooms for Saturday night. Be sure to tell them that you’re with the Corvette group. The rate is $75.00 which is only a few $$ more than the other motels. http://www.steadmanhouse.com/ Other motels .... both are close to each other and have similar rates/amenities. Best Western Executive Inn 1224 North Liberty Street Waynesboro, GA 30830 (706) 554-0806 Jameson Inn Waynesboro 1436 Liberty St Waynesboro, GA 30830 (706) 437-0500 There is another motel in town but I cannot recommend it.
