Throwing this out in Covid times
Good weather is still about 6weeks away, but I’m trying to regain normalcy
How about a MVS get together mid March on a Saturday or Sunday morning at the:
Taste NY Rest stop off the TaconicParkway? It’s about 5 miles North of I84 in LeGrangeville according to Maps
Social distancing rules apply, and we would have have a rain date
Bring your own hot coffee, bagels, and Iowa potatoes
We will even invite those from CT....maybe
