Last post by NC_2013 - July 14, 2026, 11:19:12 AMGreat cruise and a great museum. It was the best collection of British cars I have ever seen. The fact that Lenny gave us a personal tour and gave us the back story on every car was an added benefit. Thanks to Jim for organizing this cruise.

JOE & LINDA ZIMLIKI
Leaders for this cruise have unfortunately have health concerns which prevent them from leading this cruise. So Joe & I will be leading it.
The original house was built in 1854 on top of hill in Clarksville by Charles Koonce. He voted to ratify the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. Lore says it was part of Underground Railroad. Two Generations later his grandson reimagined the residence, whitewashing the brick and adding a sweeping veranda with stately Ionic columns and twin sunrooms. It stood vacant for quite a number of years. In 1984 Jim & Donna Winter purchased it and started renovations of house and grounds. It opened it's doors in 1986 and Tara - A Country Inn was born. It was inspired by "Gone With the Wind with it's southern hospitality.
Join us as we cruise the back curvy roads back to era in time. We will have Sunday Brunch. Some of items include Roasted Tom Turkey, Roasted Prime Rib , Slow Roasted Raisin Glazed Ham,Pork and Sauerkraut. Also cooked to order omelets, crepes, and waffles with your favorite toppings and stuffing'. They have many homestyle side dishes and desserts. I have spoken to the chef and he very accommodating.

Cruises / Re: LENNY'S CLASSIC CAR COLLEC...
Last post by ZoomZ - July 13, 2026, 09:59:28 AMSaturday was an awesome day. Lenny's Car Collection is a private collection. Lenny's gave us the tour. He.had 20.cars on floor. All have gone to shows and won trophies and 7 of them are National winners. Nothing like a classic car, they don't make them like they use to. Each car had a story. Each car was restored to peefection. Lenny loves his cars which he convened to us. It is the best car museum we ever been to. Very glad we went I wouldn't have missed it.
Very impressive!

Cruises / LENNY'S CLASSIC CAR COLLECTION...
Last post by ZoomZ - July 12, 2026, 10:25:55 PMLenny's Classic Car Collection Cruise
On Saturday July 11th
, we will be departing from the Sheetz in Blairsville taking
Miata back roads to Altoona PA. We will have lunch at the Park Hills Golf and Grille. After
a relaxing lunch, we will continue on to Lenny's Classic Car Collection. This collection is
housed in the former Willys Overland building that produced Jeeps for many years. After
purchasing the building, Lenny converted it into a first class restoration facility. Not the
largest collection, but certainly one of the highest quality collections in the country. I got a
first class private tour by Wayne Farabaugh, who does all the restorations in the
collection. He and possibly Lenny with be giving our group a private tour. Of course we
will finish the cruise with an ICE CREAM stop.
Date: July 11, 2026
Meeting: Sheetz 610 US RT 22 Blairsville PA
Time: 8:30 Leaving at 9:00 a.m. sharp
