Blakes Apple Orchard & Cider Mill Run-October 2009

HotRodGirl · 09-03-2009, 09:38 PM

Hey Michigan I am planning on going to a few apple/cider mills this October on my side of town

Looking to see if anyone is interested in doing a little fall color run mid/late October??? Come and join me to.............

Blakes Orchard and Cider Mill Armada Michigan (there are two locations....I like to go to both of them)

There is also another one called Coon Creek Cider Mill in Armada

I know Judy and Carl are planning a fall run so I will be sure these dates aren't the same

This is my favorite time in Michigan and my favorite time to take the

out just prior to storage....I'll pick a nice day so we can pick some apples

Nothing fancy...no plans....just pick a day and go

Let me know if you would like to come along????

Sunday Oct 25th
Meet time:
11:00 A.M.
Blake's Big Apple Orchard
71485 North Avenue Armada, MI 48005
586-784-9710
Blakes Orchard and Cider Mill Armada Michigan | Hours

After this we will visit
Achatz Pies
75700 North Ave.
Armada MI 48005
(586) 784-4743
Achatz Handmade Pie Company - Locations

Then on to
Blake's Orchard & Cider Mill
586-784-5343
17985 Armada Center Road
Armada, MI 48005
Blake Farms | Directions | Cidermill

We can make a stop by my son's new home and chiefbobs from there along with an unplanned road trip to see the fall colors and stop at what ever we see along the way. Lunch will be at the Blakes on Armada Center Road (our third posted stop). The weather will be cool with highs of 50 so dress warm with gloves and winter coats as when I made a visit two weekends ago is was 10 degrees colder out that way.

See ya all soon!!

Deb,

Sounds like FUN. Let us know the dates. Pat & I will try to make it if we can.

Charlie® · 09-06-2009, 08:29 PM

BTW, Franklin Cider Mill (in Franklin, MI) is REALLY cool because you get to watch them make the cider on machinery that is over 150 years old. However, parking is horrible!

Charlie®

REBEL · 09-06-2009, 09:51 PM

I will dump work on sat and suday to come.

Quest · 09-07-2009, 07:46 AM

We would love to attend, but we are locked into the Chocolate/Covered Bridge Run dates.

Best time for color in this area is after this time......I'll do my best to be sure you can attend. I miss you two and of course will want to see you!

OLDYELR · 09-07-2009, 02:12 PM

Deb,

Missed seeing evryone this summer.

Judy & I have a commitment the same weekend Ralph & Ruth (Quest) are going on the Chocolate Tour, but looks like we could probably make any of the last three weekends in Oct or possibly early Nov. A Saturday would be best for us.

This sounds like a great idea, I wouldn't mind enjoy some cider donuts! Let me know the dates, I'll make sure to be riding next to you HRG!!

Well it won't be next weekend.....we are helping the kids move in to their new home. So maybe the weekend after or the last weekend of the month

REBEL · 10-05-2009, 10:37 AM

I’m on antibiotics for the past week and this cold is not going away. The doctor has given me a shot for Pneumonia also. I’m missing work and coughing my head into exploding. The good thing, I lost 12lb's last week

I missed the color run; I hope to be well for this little trip.

OMGosh where have you been????? You have come across my mind several times!

No dates yet..........watching the weather

My

has been washed and detailed and is in storage mode right now...she's wearing her winter coat already

Not bringing her out unless the weather co-operates

Hoping for one dry decent weekend sometime this month...will post a notice as soon as I can giving you all ample time to prepare

downshifter · 10-07-2009, 11:37 AM

Hi Deb,
you can put Marv and I down as hopeful. That way we can get in just one more before the snow drives us out of Michigan.

Maybe we could make it an HHR run if the weather is bad. I can haul one in mine, Pat can haul three more in hers, and you could carry two more in yours. Our colors even match!

My
