10:00 was the meeting time at the Wal-Mart in Saint Cloud, Linda and I rolled in with "Elvira" our '60 Falcon Ranchero, at about 9:45, Ed and Evelyn Booher were already there with their '63 Corvair Convertible. in fact Eve was shopping. Just a few minutes later Don & Judi Meyer pulled in with their '02 Corvette roadster. We all chatted about the run and Don mentioned his '48 Chevy Pickup that he is currently "Street Rodding", we all can't wait to see that.

Just before 10:00 Tom and Edna Adams arrived with their tan over Gold '65 Corvair 4 Door, this is one of their many "Cruisers". As we were waiting on the rest of the "Cruisers" Jack and Betty called to say they would not be joining us. Just after 10:00 Jeff and Tara Kough pulled up with their '66 Corvair Corsa convertible. We all talked for a while about a side trip to this "Scratch and Dent" place just south of Kenansville that we thought we might stop by on the way back. 10:15 came about so we started up the cars and headed for Canoe Creek Road to take us "the back way" to Kenansville.

The next 32 miles we cruised at about 50 MPH enjoying the "Natural Florida" scenery that was surrounding us on this old road. We were in 'formation" with Ed the "Corvair Tour Guide" and Evelyn in the lead car, followed by our Ranchero then '65 4 door, Don and Judi in the 'Vette and bringing up the rear was Jeff and Tara in their '66 Corsa. It was a very nice ride with light traffic, of course there was that Manure Truck that had to get by us in a big hurry to turn at the next side road. Always one of those on the roads.

We arrived at the "Lake Marian Restaurant and Grocery Store" just a little past 11:00. It was quite busy but just as we walked in a few tables "Cleared" and we pushed them together. We all dined on their famous "Swamp Cabbage" and a Turtle platter along with some 'gator. Actually we did not try any of those delicacies but we all had a good meal.

The topic for lunch was "where are we going next month?" well we are going to Chisholm Park near Narcoose on the 22nd of May for a PicNic. This will be a BYOB (as in beverage) your own meat and a dish to pass. Ed is bringing his Chili and a fire will be provided. Tara is coordinating this event and she can be contacted for details. This should be a good outing. Check the Cruise-In News for further details.

After the meal we headed for the 3M Ranches "Tool Store" as we parked our cars Judi asked if we had seen the Zebra in the field next to the store, yes a Zebra grassing with other horses at the 3M ranch We all spent a bit of time poking around the the store before we decided that we would all stop by Ed and Evelyn's in Hollowpaw to see his their and check out Lind's Corvair that Ed is working on.

The day ended after the "Tour" of Ed and Evelyn's half acre, we all headed home.

Please join us on our next outing. It is always good to actually use these "Cruisers" to tour.
