Queen City Cooper Events / Re: QCC/GCMC drive for April 12
« Last post by Bobbi Ross about April 11, 2025, 04:34:05 PM »Today is April 11. We drove much of the route today and had to revise part due to a road closure - a landslide washed away a stretch of a road we were going to use. Route instructions will be handed out at the driver's meeting at 9:30 on April 12. See you all there!

« Last post by Bobbi Ross about February 08, 2025, 10:12:52 AM »We'll start at the parking lot of the now-closed Frisch's at the Ward's Corner exit of I-275.
Lunch will be at Miller's Furniture, Bulk Foods, Bakery in Wheat Ridge.
If you can only join us for the morning, we'll give you directions from Miller's to SR 32 and back to I-275.
The last bridge is just off US 68 south of Mt. Orab. Again, when we cross SR 32, you may go west and back to I-275. Or we can all stop at Butterbee's for supper!
