Polar Bear Run 24 January 18th 2025 "Keep It Simple Stupid"

Keep It Simple Stupid
We're keeping it simple this year - we drive to a place and see interesting stuff and then we head to a highly rated BBQ restaurant and eat - you guessed it - BBQ - but they carry other good stuff and then head home. Pretty simple except we will be driving through the wilderness of Chestefield County where we will encounter twists and turns and even a couple of roads with no signs. Miss the last turn (no road sign) and the next sign you see might say "Welcome to West Virginia". You don't want to be that guy. Sound like your kind of adventure - then click to sign up for this and take your chance.

Launch Point: We blast off at precisely 9:30 AM EST (09:30 for military people). Launch Point will be the Food Lion parking lot in exciting Ettrick, address is 20821 Woodpecker Road, Petersburg, VA 23803-2573. We will park by Woodpecker Road in front of the Food Lion. The grocery store has restrooms in the back. There is a Burger King, 20867 Woodpecker Road, Ettrick, Virginia, 23803 in the same shopping center if you need a coffee.

Please note: In case of bad weather on the 18th we will switch to the 25th and a ***NEW*** set of instructions will be posted.

The usual questions with the usual answers

1. Which direction are we going? Mostly West with some North tossed in
2. How far are we going to be from the starting point - I may need to get somewhere in a hurry? One hour from starting point and the restaurant will be one hour from the starting point along with a whole lot of other stuff one hour from the starting point
3. Will there be directions? Yes, but you need to keep up with the group as some roads will not have signs as the county is saving money to waste on something worthless
4. What happens if I break down? DON'T! The only thing that can find you is a Polar Bear
5. Where are we going to eat lunch? Highly rated BBQ place or take a chance on getting food posioning at some dump of your choice
6. Very important: make sure your vehicle can make it and bring money

De Facto President Trump has approved this run. Instead of drill baby drill it's burn carbon burn. Trump loves the smell of ozone and vehicle exhaust carbon footprint in the morning. Plus he doesn't believe in that global warming/climate change bunk. Trump says fill it up with high test and turn loose those ponys.

Governor Youngkin also approves the run. He is seen here filling up with actual gasoline instead of using electricity from solar panels or whale and bird killing wind turbines somewhere in the ocean. He wants you to be able to still buy a gas guzzler in 2035 unlike some of the idiots that managed to get elected to the General Assembly.

This is not the approved method for getting into your vehicle. If it does snow or some other "S" word falls from the sky we will make the necessary adjustments. But we will not be falling from the sky onto a vehicle.

Yes, this looks like fun but you need to get your four wheel chariot ready to go on the run. You need to have it in great working order and not break down.

Yes, the Polar Bear Run calls for a new hairdo. These weird "people" have come up with a unique way to get a unique new do.

Here is a smiling idiot. If you do this on the run you will not be smiling. And since some roads don't have signs the only help you might get will be from the Polar Bear who will eat you.

Beware - it's not only the Polar Bear you need to fear but also the Snow Dragon. I don't know why it has decided to eat Japanese food.

Now here's a guy who knows how to dress for the Polar Bear Run. This is how you could look if you drive a convertible top down in winter weather.

Wow - these women are ready for the Polar Bear Run and they know how to dress properly. Ladies take note.

Oh yes, the trill of the run is with her. I know you look forward to this every year. What else happens good in January? The meeting of those freedom haters in the General Assembly? The start of a new Congress filled with people dying to spend every taxpayer penny they can dig out of the citizens? It's the Polar Bear hands down or in her case legs up.

This is NOT the restaurant where we will be eating lunch. We will go to a BBQ place where there is no PEE nor POO on the menu.

This road is most likely better than a couple we will be on. Remember to keep up and be more careful than you usually are because someone always gets lost on the run. Just follow whichever red Mustang I drive and you'll make it there.

If you see this sign you have missed a turn and went too far.

Okay, scroll down and sign up for the run before you relax like this cat. Remember going on the run is better than trying to find something "GOOD" to watch on TV.
