The Tour was
planned by Bob and Evie O as a tour through farmlands in memory of Eleanora
Paolantonio. Although the weather
forecast said it would be sunny after 7 AM, it turned out cloudy with a few
periods of sprinkles through the day.
Still, it was clear enough to enjoy the scenery along the country roads
in Windham County, Connecticut. We
gathered at “the Dunk” at routes 6A and 102 in RI at about 10:30 AM. After a meet and greet, the group of twelve
Model A’s and three “moderns” took off along route 101 into Connecticut. At the first
stop (the unavoidable PIT Stop), we lost a couple of the members who missed a
turn. High tech cell phone contacts made
it possible to catch up with them in Pomfret!
The tour was about 43 miles all told.
Dottie Cece was amazed that we went by her childhood home, not once but
twice on the ride! The scenery was
mostly of spring-green farmland and vistas across hills and valleys. Lunch was at the Black Dog Bar and Grille at
about 1 PM – Good food! The only car problem that required a quick
stop and fix was an unstoppable horn on Bob Osborne’s ’29 Coupe!
