Our tour leads, Harold and Amber Singh, dedicated this drive to their daughter, Hadley. Our drive began in Goochland Courthouse and traveled into Louisa, Hanover, Goochland, Henrico, Chesterfield and Powhatan Counties. We even dipped into the City of Richmond when we crossed the James River on the Huguenot Bridge. The roads and the sites were spectacular. Many local members commented that they had never experienced a number of the roads we traveled on. Points of interest were noted on this drive as there is so much history surrounding the Richmond area.
We had 34 cars participating which were divided into six groups. Our destination was Fine Creek Brewing Company in Powhatan. We had several members and spouses who were not on the drive join us at Fine Creek Brewing for a total of 60 people. Those that took the time to walk the grounds of Fine Creek saw the remains of the original water driven grist mill and the breathtaking stream flowing over solid rock. The adjacent Fine Creek Mill is a wedding venue. Speaking to one of the owners, they have bookings two years out.
The food Fine Creek served and the beer they brewed were both outstanding. We had a memorable drive and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with fellow members we have not seen due to the pandemic.
Many thanks to the Singh’s for their efforts putting together this very enjoyable drive and social gathering.
