The MHCC is all about the people and the cars. We have only one meeting a year. BUT, we have a lot of drives and get togethers throughout the year. Now it's time for another one.

This is a little different than previous trips. This is on a Saturday afternoon, instead of Sunday morning.

Saturday, July 25, meet at the Conoco station, at the corner of Santa Fe and I-470. Depart at 1300hrs (that’s 1 o’clock PM for you civilian types).

Travel south on Santa Fe to Sedalia, then turn south on 105, through Tri-Lakes, and Monument.

At Monument, get on I-25 south. Get off at exit 146, Garden of the Gods Rd. There’s a Phillips 66 station directly on the right. We can exchange various fluids there.

That’s about 55 miles.

When ready, we'll leave the gas station, and head west on Garden of the Gods Rd. At 30th st, turn south. At Colorado Blvd, turn north. In about 0.8 miles we come to Amandas Fonda – my favorite mexican restaurant.

There we will have a delicious late lunch / early dinner. I highly recommend chicken fajitas, fish tacos, and the drunken chicken. I really love their green chile, and often have a big burrito with it. The marguritas are the best anywhere. Portions are big, bring a cool chest for the left overs.

When we’re ready, we’ll travel across town to the corner of Constition Ave, and North Powers Blvd.

Every Saturday, there’s a very informal cruise-in. Although it’s been rained out for the last 4-5 weeks. Sometimes there’s 100 cars, and sometimes 20. Could be anything from a Model T, to a new Farreri. I think 10-15 Cobras would be quite a sight. I’m usually the only Cobra there.

When ready, leave the cruise-in, and head north on Powers Blvd. In about 10 miles, it will intersect with SR-83. A right turn will take you up through Black Forest, Franktown, and Parker. A left turn will take you to I-25 (about 2.5 miles).

Sunset is about 2015 hrs (8:15 PM), so there’s plenty of time to get home before dark.

Rain date, Saturday Aug 1st.

So far, we 17 people planning to attend. You don't need to be a club member to join us. Heck, you don't even have to be driving a Cobra!
