Saturday morning dawned crisp and very cool! Of course, Miz B is still in the repair shop. It is good that we have another A in the barn. So, Miz Olive came out for an early morning run! You've not met Miz Olive. We have had her for about 6 years. She is a beautiful olive green Town Sedan, has a very comfortable dark olive mohair interior, four doors, and roll up windows! Her back seat is most comfortable with its center and side arm rests and roll down window shades. She has no rumble seat or trunk, so all of our necessities go into her back seat area. All of which are easily accessible as we ride down the road. The other great thing about Miz Olive is that I get to be the passenger on our trips in her.
We had a brief meeting to attend with the Palmetto A's, then it was going to be off to Newberry. Newberry is about 50 miles from Columbia and a very nice drive. We left the meeting place and headed for the gas pumps to fuel up the cars. While there, it was a great opportunity to add a little fuel to the humans, as well. Great coffee and biscuit breakfasts!
It was quickly discovered that one in our group had lost an electronic device in the parking lot of the meeting place and went back to retrieve it. Just a short delay, but gave us time to chat and enjoy each others company.
Soon, we were off to Newberry and traveling the rolling hills of central South Carolina. The leaves were just beautiful.
It looks like the colors are just starting to pop!
We drove on into the town of Newberry to meet our friends from the Old 96 District and the Queen City Model A Clubs. We had a great showing of cars on the town square and in front of the Newberry Opera House.
We enjoyed a leisurely lunch at the Flying Pie and shopped the quaint shops and antique stores; but soon it was time to pack up and head for home. We had a wonderful day with friends, traveling the back roads of rural South Carolina and enjoying the fall colors which nature had to offer!
