Spring
Dust
Off
Mystery
Run Sunday April 25th 2010 Kingston and Wickford Rhode Island Area |
Twelve
cars
from
around New England representing members of CAMO and 4 Seasons
participated in the 14th annual Spring Dust Off Mystery
Run. The weather was cloudy with rain showers but it did not keep us
from enjoying the event. This year's Mystery Run was planned
by Frank and Corinne Craveiro and George and Donna Berube. Additional
help was provided by John and Carolyn Lynch and family who live in the
area. We departed the
Holiday Inn starting at 9:30 am at 4 minute intervals following printed
directions with "clues" for when to turn
and which street to take. The clues took us to several historic sites
including the Gilbert Stuart Museum (America's Portrait Artist who
painted George Washington);
Smith's Castle (built in 1678) where 40 soldiers from the 1666 King
Phillip's War are buried; the SeaBee
Museum and Memorial Park (the original home of the Navy SeaBees); plus
many local spots where we needed to get information for the trivia
questions. Everyone finished at the Tavern by the Sea in North Kingston
for lunch and to compare stories. There were
prizes for worst and best time and mileage and correct trivia answers.
The Grand prize for best overall score went to Bill and
Matt Thomas of Chelmsford, MA. All had a great time and are ready to do
it again next year. Thanks to the Berubes' and Craverios'
for a great start to the 2010 AMC car season. |
