“The Great Backroads' Lemonade Challenge”
Making Lemonade into Lemons, and Back Again!
We try our best to stop every time we see kids selling lemonade, and make a purchase; even if we are not thirsty.
It is a capitalistically beautiful thing to see young people working to make some extra spending cash! Good for them.
Last week, we saw that some young men down the road from Backroads Central had set up a roadside stand, and were busy doing just that – with multiple flavors of lemonade, and iced coffee. They also had ice pops and edible straws. Shira stopped the car. I stopped with the bike. They seemed to be doing a brisk business.
Then we passed by later that weekend and saw that, when they took a break, someone had thought their table, chairs, and bicycle were being left out for collection.
We don’t want to say someone stole all this – but they did take it, and that is like sucking lemons!
So, after hearing the ACME Lemonade Company will be back this weekend, we thought we’d put out “The Great Backroads' Lemonade Challenge” to you all.
Go for a ride this weekend, and help the economy.
Make your way to the ACME Lemonade Stand.
You will find them on Sussex County Road 626, where Halsey Road meets Garret Drive.
We’ll make it easy…here are the coordinates:
41°06'26.5"N 74°46'37.5"W
Heck, we’ll make it even more fun.
We have hyperlinks to two .GPX files.
One from the south, starting at Van Sant Airport, and the other from the northeast, starting at the Bear Mountain Bridge.
