New Year’s Day Relic Run - Jan 1,2026

[fj40alex]

2025 was a blast. Let’s do again - a New Year’s Day Relic Run. So, charge the battery in your relic, top off the oil, and pack some snacks. The plan is an easy 1 hour back road drive south to 40 Acre Rock. Once there, we can walk around the unique geological feature before heading back on a similar, but a different route. Last year we had a quick photo ops on a bridge (@roadstr6 knows the way) and then gorged on milkshakes and other treats at Dairy O’s. We broke off from there and everyone headed home. Little driving, little walking, little dessert.

Plan on a 4 hour round trip. Longer depending upon how long it takes you to eat the banana split.

Meet at the Waverly Chick-Fil-A (11530 Waverly Center) by noon. Depart by 12:15pm.

Destination is 40 Acre Park Heritage Preserve. Pretty cool area for a little day hike. Forty Acre Rock - https://www.sctrails.net/trails/trail/forty-acre-rock

Food stop at Dairy-O in Pageland. Cool place if you haven’t been. Dairy-O | Pageland SC - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087565267337

Yes to pets, kids, new drivers, family members, etc. No to excuses on why your relic is parked and you made a “last minute” change to drive your comfy LX470 with heated seats. Consider it a 2026 Relic Run shakedown before the real event in the Spring.

What time do you think you will be at 40 acre rock Park? I will be heading in from calabash.

We will drive straight there. Little under an hour so I’d guess 1-1:30. There for about 1.5 hours to hike the loop.

 

[lowtops]

I'm in.

 

[JohnVee]

Probably in.

Checking but likely in. Excuse to sort out charging issues with the 40 (new alternator on the way).

Luke is hustling to get the Faux40 back on the road.

I'm in as long as my 200 series counts as a relic, it was manufactured in the bush administration so that counts for a 200 right? I suppose I could also ride in a relic if someone is rolling solo to get the full relic experience.

All cruisers welcome!

On Google Maps, we will park at the “Upper Parking” lot - small gravel lot at the dead end of a county road. There is also a “Lower” lot.

Ok just got my sixty on the road after collecting hornets nests… so I’m in! With my 9 yr old broski

Sorry to bail, but out on tomorrow. One too many gremlins with the new rig to flirt with my roadside assistance coverage.

In late breaking news I may have 3 more passengers, my gal(Tiffany) and her two daughters (8 and 6).

Gosh I hope my truck doesn’t leave me stranded or I’ll be single again
