Thanks to all our members and friends who came out to Classics at The Cafe Du Monde last Saturday morning in Mandeville. We had about 35 cars and some excellent weather. This is a great spot for a morning meet up and we will certainly plan a few more of these throughout this year.
Our classic car community has spoken, and effective immediately, we have changed our membership policy that allows folks with cars and trucks from model year 1989 and older to join our club. With this change, anyone eligible to register for Crusin’ the Coast can join our club. This seemed the right thing to do. If you know anyone who would be interested in joining, send them this email, where we have the membership application linked down below.
CRUSIN DA LAKE
This is a one day only rain or shine event, SATURDAY, March 7, 2026. You can start your cruise and stop wherever you want, between 8AM and 5PM! You can purchase a Stamping Card for $30 CASH only the day of the CRUISE at any location. Then get stamped at as many locations as you want. You drop your card off at your last stop. There will be prizes for cards that have at least 6 stamps and special prizes for those that get ALL EIGHT (BONUS is optional) stamps! The winners will be contacted the next day by phone. In the event of rain bring your daily driver!
Here is a link to the office Crusin' The Lake Website - https://cruisindalake.com/
Here is a link to the list and Map of all of the Stamping stops CDL MAP 2026
A suggested route is to start at the Slidell stamping stop first in the morning, between 8am-9am, then make your way counterclockwise around Lake Pontchartrain. Then taking the toll free route back across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.
Thanks again to everyone who volunteered to help us staff the stamping stop this year!
