Rain, Apples, and Sundaes
Today was wet - but it didn’t stop 10 MINIs getting together to drive, pick apples and eat ice cream 
Meeting on Route 2 before the drive:
Brian, recently from Indianapolis, joined us, showing off stripes from Todd Pearson:
The wet roads and sometimes heavy rain slowed down the drive, but with the trees starting to turn it was still pretty!
At George’s Hill Orchard - where we met Peter up from New York!
Apples!
Or if you prefer to pick your own …
We relocated all the MINIs to the top of the hill where lunch was available (and it was at this time that we lost Peter again):
Lunch:
More driving, partly through roads with no surface(!) and our final destination of the day, to Colonial Candies:
Inside, lots of candies - guarded by penguins!
Many thanks to Sheena for organizing this event (see this MINI2 thread) - also thanks to Ivan for putting together a great music selection (and he asked me to say “I didn’t skip any tracks!”)

How about track 16? You didn’t skip that one either?
Josh Wardell (2006/10/02 @ 8:50 am)
I definitely skipped some tracks! :p
Thanks for the pictures, Ian…With the rain and my hands full, I hardly got any.

I definitely didn’t skip any tracks, but there weren’t too many that were my cuppa. Maybe I’ll do the next compilation.

I don’t think I skipped any, but it did have a 70’s/80’s theme… to my recollection of songs anyway.

You’re not old enough to remember 80’s music, are you?
I’ve been brewing up something to contribute to the next gathering…
