Let's allow Bruce to work through this and we'll get an update listed here by Thursday or Friday. I reached out to the MetroParks for oficial confirmation of the closure dates last week, but have not received anything to date. For now, let's continue to plan to met at the marina lot unless and until Brue posts a change.

I cruised the entire route this afternoon with no detours and no issues.

See you Saturday!

I heard that the Vanarchy (domestic van club) is meeting at that marina same time for their van poker run. Should be a cool sight with all the vintage vans. We unfortunately can't make it, but take lots of pictures please!

Last year there were several 70s type vans there, that must have been them.

Yes, we are on for tomorrow! Rain or shine! Should be a great time as always!

People start gathering around 10am then Bruce gets us rolling around 11am or so.

Here's part of Bruce's original post conatining details:

We’ll meet at Cleveland Metroparks Emerald Necklace Marina parking lot (set your GPS for 1500 Cleveland Metro Park Dr, Lakewood, OH 44107, or an alternate address is 18900 Detroit Ave, Lakewood, Ohio 44107, GPS Coordinates 41.478151, -81.831374) at 10 AM on Saturday. For those who are not familiar with the area, there's a big parking lot adjacent to the boat docks. If you're in the vicinity it's hard to miss, right at the bottom of the big hill where Valley Parkway meets Detroit Rd. We will wait here while everyone arrives.

The 20 mile (approx.) cruise will end in Strongsville at Slim & Chubby's for lunch, 12492 Prospect Rd. Strongsville, 44149.

Really nice turnout considering the weather we've been having. LEAKOILERS are a hardy bunch! :D

Thanks to Bruce and Mike Roker for keeping this going! :D

Well, we all know we live in the age of "diversity" and "cant we all get along" and it was interesting that today proved we can get along! :D

Like Josh said, the Vanarchy club ('60's to 90's American Vans) was out getting ready for a poker run adjactent to where were assembling. Bruce came up with the idea of cruising over for some pics before both groups headed out. Really nice Van members who really dug our VW's. We all got along and the buses and vans looked cool together.

Not a lot of spectators this year on the cruise becaue of the weather, but still a nice run out to Slim and Chubbies.

Nice to see West SIde Danny and he and Fernando brought three new members: Hendrick, Angel and Tito. They had some cool lowered bays. Aaron really missed out! :lol:

The parade Grand-Marshall Chuck was a no show! :cry:

Anyway here are the pics. Enter your own commentary! :lol:

Slim and Chubbies even saved the front lot for us. Seeing the 70's van club was cool, too!
