				| 
 |  
				| Join C3Vs for our third annual Spring Cruise on Saturday April 14th, 2012. Here are the details: 
 Spring Cruise to Jamestown/Surry and back! Meet at McDonald's on 13131 Kingston Avenue, Chester, VA 23836 by 10am. Once we are all ready to go we will proceed East on Route 10 through Hopewell. Make a left onto Route 156 crossing over the James River until we arrive at Route 5. Turn right (east) on Route 5 until we come to Greensprings Rd (Route 614) and turn right there. Of course, while we are on Route 5 we can stop at any of the plantations to sight see and takes some pictures of our rides.
 
 Once we are on Route 614 take that until it dead-ends at Jamestown Rd (Rt 31) and turn right towards the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry. Then take the ferry across the James. Once in Surry we can grab lunch at the Surry House Restaurant & Country Inn. Afterwards we cross back over the James on the ferry and pull off for some pictures in Old Jamestown. Last year some members of the Peninsula VW Club in Hampton Roads took us on a short drive to some very cool spots to take some neat pictures.
 
 Here is a website for the restaurant in Surry:

 ...and for the ferry in Jamestown:

 Attention Low Riders:  If you can stick your fist under your car, you are high enough off the ground to drive on and off the ferry!!!

 The last two years not a single low-rider VW owner had any issues...and we've had several attend!  Just take it really slow getting on and off the ferry.  Seeing 25-30 VWs on the deck of a ferry when your standing above on the observation deck is truly a wonderful sight!

				| I'm planning on coming down. I have quite a few members of the vwcruisers who would like to attend as well. 
 I came down the year before last and had a blast. Looking forward to it!

 I contacted Robert from the Peninsula VW Club and asked if he'll be joining.  I hope so...they really led us on a very scenic ride after we crossed back over the James.

				| I just heard from Robert that there should be 5 or 6 cars joining you guys at the Jamestown settlement parking lot.  Last year we pulled off in the parking lot there, regrouped and headed for the ferry.  It was sweet! _________________

				| Do to my 10-20, it would be better for me to meet up with the caravan at the corner of 156 and 5 on the North side after the bridge. Wondering what time the line would get there.  _________________
