To all, we are going to cruise from Harrisburg Pa to the Horseshoe Curve in Altoona Pa on May 15th. We plan to be on the road by 09:00 because of the length of the run. We will be leaving from the Best Western Hotel again. Hotel rooms are available for both Friday and Saturday nights for a Viper Club discount rate of $69.00, just mention that it is for the Viper Club when you call. I have 10 rooms set aside for those that may be interested in staying Friday, Saturday or both. We also have a hospitality room available for us at no charge to the club (provided we have a few rooms booked). They have continental breakfast and full service restaurant as well. For those of you that stayed there this past weekend, please let me know how the accomodations were so I know whether or not to continue using them.

We will be including a poker run for this event with half the proceeds benefitting the Childrens Miracle Network. The poker run portion is not mandatory as we know some people may not be able to stay with us the entire day or just may not wish to play (I saw some folks luck or lack of at the horse track
), no problem, please feel free to join in for the cruise. We will be stopping for lunch shortly after our visit at the Curve (location to be determined), but I promise NO stone parking lots
. I will be finalizing the route in the next week to check for changes (construction etc) but the current route has all types of roads included from Highway to curvy mountain roads. After returning to Harrisburg, based on the number of people, we will plan on gathering for dinner in the evening.
The Horseshoe Curve for those that are not familiar with it's history was a high profile site during WWII when it was on ******'s top 10 target list to be destroyed due to it's crucial role in rail traffic to the East Coast. Many families of German and Japanese descent from the surrounding areas were questioned and detained by the FBI during that period.

So, I'll take care of that tomorrow. Anyone else joining us? Be really nice to get 10-12 cars for this one.
