  • Through the Hudson River Valley August 15 - 19, 2021
    L3 Road Rally Through the Hudson River Valley August 15 - 19, 2021 History lessons, sightseeing, and a little bit of competition are what L3’s Road Rally is all about. We’ll travel in our team cars through this historic valley with clues leading us to beautiful locations and ending with celebratory libations. Remember, it’s not a race, it’s a quest. Those who have attended one of our previous road rallies can confirm - this is not a typical scenic drive! Here’s how it works: • On arrival day, members will be teamed up - two people per car, one driver, one navigator. Additionally, each car will be drafted to a team of three or four cars. There will be individual prizes for winning cars as well as prizes for the team with the highest combined score. • Each morning, you will get a clue sheet before you hit the road. This is not a race, and no speeding is allowed! Teams will be judged by the number of correct answers to the clues. • You’ll be asked to puzzle out answers from signs and sites along the road, plus participate in a few challenges at road stops. You might have to look for a place “where a veterinarian might live” or take a selfie with a hidden treasure. • The competitive types among you (you know who you are!) can flex over the daily leaderboards and we promise plenty of laughter and excitement for all. 2021 Road Rally Committee: Rob & Mim Caslow | Nan Guslander | Missy Knebel AGENDA SUNDAY, AUGUST 15 | ARRIVAL DAY Flying - Fly into New York Stewart International Airport (SWF) in Newburgh, N.Y.
