They called NAMGAR's GT-39 "A
Capital Idea" because, well, it was held in
Canada's Capital - Ottawa! Our plan was to meet
our fellow Mid-Atlantic MGA Club members in
Sacket's Harbor, a small historic NY town close to
the Canadian border. Google Maps put it at a 10 hr
drive from Long Island (avoiding highways) so we
decided to make it a 2 day trip, staying first in
Herkimer NY, a town along the Erie/Mohawk canal.
Here's Melon checking out the waterfront on the
canal.

From Herkimer we
went northwest, driving through a huge field
of modern windmills, all along a ridge north
of Syracuse, eventually reaching Sacket's
Harbor in late afternoon.

The rest of our club members arrived shortly
after us, and we all had dinner together at a
local brew pub, then went out on the deck to
watch sunset. |

The next day we all took a Ferry to Canada. A
very small ferry, but MGAs are also small, so
they packed us in!
We spent four great days in Ottawa, taking a
riverboat cruise, visiting Parliament, doing a
car show, and even watching a "drive-in movie"
from the hotel parking lot.
OK, not a very big screen, but the movie, Blue
Hawaii, featured Elvis driving an MGA.
