On Sunday, October 25 a number of Peoples people headed out on a Mystery Ride that saw automobiles reaching their 
destination anywhere from 40 
minutes to over an hour. These same riders and 
drivers found that their odometers read anything from 14.3 miles to over 22! And we have to say that everyone had the same directions which took us from the 
church on a beautiful ride through South 
Portland and Cape Elizabeth only to find that our destination was Bug Light Park. It was a fun time together for most as we gathered by the Liberty Ship Memorial overlooking Portland Harbor, two tankers and the beautiful tree colors of the islands beyond.
We thank Dan and Ruth Doughty for setting up the event and the route. I'm sure we missed some of the beautiful scenery as we were concentrating on how many no parking signs there were near Crescent Beach State Park or what day The Good Table is closed each week or trying to find a Mobil Station when it was in fact an Irving station. Prizes were awarded with Sally Seidl and company winning one of the first place prizes while the Tordoffs matched them. The Gays and Wades also received prizes. I'm sure the youth including the Mullens and Isaac Dunn as well as Pastor Johanne Dame of Clark and Sophie Vanderburg hoped the people responsible for their food would have shown up, but alas they didn't. If I had only known earlier I might have been able to share our prize of apples with someone other than Isaac.
