Linger Lodge Lunch Cruise
Thirteen of us with 8 cars showed up for the Saturday 8-13 lunch cruise to Linger Lodge in Bradenton.
We left Bob Evans on Fletcher near I-75 at 10 a.m. and cruised down Highway 301 and who knows what back roads for about two hours. Eight Vettes lined up on the highway was really a beautiful sight. Jim and Suzi S led the way and were masters at leading the pack. A really well paced cruise.
We must have gone by way of north Miami (not really), but had a really good cruise. After all, riding along in a string of Corvettes is what these cruises are all about. That and the good time with friends. We got to Linger Lodge about noon and were plenty ready for lunch - AND A PIT STOP.
No matter how you looked at it, you'd have to say this was a unique experience. Linger Lodge is really a different type of place. Lots of stuffed critters and overflowing with red neck atmosphere. A great menu and plenty of unusual things to choose from. Frog legs, craw dads, fried green tomatoes - lotsa good stuff. Ask Frank G about the frog legs. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and when we left, we left full. We had a great time.
