Come and enjoy great food, relaxed driving over hilly,
narrow, crooked roads and investigate interesting stuff you cannot find
anyplace else. By the way, the term "back roads" includes roads
(paved) that you will not believe.
Our motel is the Greensburg Quality Inn & Suites
$60/night plus tax. As the manager put it "It isn't the Marriot, then
again, its not the Marriot price". A block of rooms is being held under
the name "Sunbeam".

TRUTH IN ADVERTISING
This event was designed to accommodate a maximum of 12 cars.
At this time, there are only two cars enrolled. In order to minimize
participant disappointment due to low turnout, one week prior to the event, we
will notify everyone of the number of participants and everyone should feel
free to cancel. While we are willing to continue with only one other car, it is
possible the event will disappear due to "popular demand". Or lack
there of.
