This has been a great cruise these last few seasons and hope to be even better this season!

This cruise is open to anyone that wants to come hang out. We will start out in Bethel at Bethel Tate High School 3420 OH125, Bethel, OH 45106. We will be meeting up at 11 am, drivers meeting at 1145 am and leaving for the cruise at noon. From there we head out on some of the best back roads Clermont/brown county has to offer. Along the way we will see a few old covered bridges 2 of which we will pass over and lots of old iron yard art. Total trip is about 60 miles and should take about 2 hours. We will be stopping along the way for restroom break, drinks etc. Will be about half way point in Buford as usual. We will end the cruise at East Cincy Crue clubhouse in Williamsburg, OH where we can hang out and have some pizza for everyone to eat.
