Cruise: Sunday, March 22 - "Maple Festival Cruise" (from Staunton to Highland County, VA)

Some of you may choose to get hotel reservations in Staunton, VA on Saturday, March 21, and join us Sunday morning for a second day of cruising! If you would like to join us, make reservations at a hotel in Staunton ASAP. A few of us have made reservations at:

  •  TRU BY HILTON
    120 Crossing Way
    Staunton, VA 24401
    540-213-4000

On Sunday, we will drive over 100 miles back roads from Staunton through the mountains and valleys (over hill, over dale) of Highland County with a few stops along the way… including a Trout Farm and a Sugar Camp or two. Sometime later Sunday afternoon, we will end up in Monterey, VA – The center of the activity for their 66th Annual Highland County Maple Festival. (But Sunday will focus more on driving through the beautiful Highland County countryside!)

This will be the LAST day of the Maple Festival. Most of the Craft/Food vendors will be open on Sunday from 9 am – 4 pm.

Please note: Once we arrive in Monterey will be very busy during the maple festival so, once we arrive, parking and exploring will probably be "on-our-own."
