The TYP356ne Fall Tour
The Fall Tour was planned as a casual and relaxed three day run through the White Mountains of New Hampshire with the company of good friends in vintage 356’s. And that was exactly what this year’s fall tour turned out to be.
Friday morning Tour Masters, Bill and Connie Collins, handed out driving directions and the always popular “Wild Moose Chase” paper work and plastic bag which marked the start of a challenging two day scavenger hunt. Participants took their time exploring the by-ways and back roads of New Hampshire, stopping at points of interest along the way gathering answers to the Moose Chase questions or to collect the allusive 100 point moose sample.
We all met for lunch at Harts Turkey Farm Restaurant in Meredith, NH and continued driving through the fall foliage to the White Mountain Hotel, for cocktails in the Presidents Suite and a fine sea food buffet in the main dining room.
Saturday opened with breakfast, followed with a drivers meeting outlining the days options. A good number opted to drive their 356's along the mountain road to the top of Mt Washington (6288.175 FT), while others drove to the top of Cathedral Ledge to watch climbers scaling its face. Still others took in Art Galleries in North Conway, hiked to Diana’s Bath water falls, or drove along the many colorful tree lined back roads.
We all re-grouped at the White Mountain Hotel for dinner, and a spirited grading of individual Wild Moose Chase results. Highest score went to Jim and Jane Hannum (over 300+ points out of 550).
Sunday was the only wet day with dark clouds and rain following us home, but all in all everyone agreed this year was outstanding, with all planning to participate next year.
