AUTUMN CRUISE on the Cape

Oct 25th, Saturday: drive from Falmouth to Bourne along back roads.

The CCBCC has done this tour for the last 3 years driving from Bourne to Woods Hole and parking at WCAI. Unfortunately, WCAI has moved and the parking lot is no longer available.  So let’s do the tour in reverse and see the road from a different perspective.

Here’s the plan:  we all meet at Iris Cape Cod hotel in Falmouth, have an optional continental (or hot from the menu) breakfast in their dining room, then drive from Falmouth to Nobska Lighthouse, through Woods Hole, and then up back roads and the scenic shore road to the Lobster Trap, where we will stop for lunch.

Put Oct 25 on your calendar.

Registration:   Registration is NOT required if you are only going to do the cruise and/ or lunch.

NOTE: this is a RAIN or SHINE event – there is no rain date – we will hold the event regardless of weather.  

Tradition demands that tops are down/off despite the temperature – that’s why it’s the Freezing’ Run.

(You can choose what transportation to bring if it’s raining/snowing.)

NOTE: if you cannot attend, please consider sending a donation to support Independence House.

You can do this by sending a check to the CCBCC, P.O. Box 1661, Sandwich MA 02563.  Make your check payable to Independence House and we will include it in our donation package to IH.
