    I am trying to get together a meet Sometime in July for Legacy members (others are welcome, of course). It's supposed to be "an official Subaru Legacy International" event, but we really don't have any midwest members, besides some Twin Cities people who reside on this board as well.

    It is planned for LaCrosse, WI. It has some nice hilly country, and I figured we could do the shindig @ grandad's bluff. The idea is that it will be on July 8th, but I'm open to suggestions, as I haven't gotten much interest so far. It's pretty close for you guys too :)

    Here's the link:

    Anyone interested?

    And I recieved your PM (wish I'd gotten an email about it though)

    Here's the finalized information:

    Meeting time is 11:00 AM, Saturday July 8th, 2006.
    Here's some maps:

    Directions to the bluff:

    Directions to Target, as I was thinking it would be a better place to initially meet:

    Any more questions? The time draws near. We're looking at a fairly good gathering...

    you friggin know it! :D

    okay, now my time for pictures (it took a while to get them down to a decent internet friendly size..):

    We got a decent crowd, 5 Legacys (well, 3 outbacks, 2 legacys) and a GC RS.

    Mike (vitai0) came from Appleton and met up with me so we could caravan on out to LaCrosse
    [​IMG]

    We met at the Target:
    [​IMG]

    Eat at Perkins, which was right by where we parked. shot the ish for a while, talking about cars, etc. Then we decided to get moving, and went up to the bluffs.

    Me and Choung were "street racing". We did a little spirited accel. up to the speed limit, and just as we got to it, a cop went right by...nice timing. I definitely said holy sh*t a couple of times :lol:
    This is at the launch (my launch blew):
    [​IMG]

    We parked in the parking lot, about 500 feet above LaCrosse. Yes, the gravel was well dug up after these pictures :twisted:
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    At this point it started raining. So we went up to the shelter and looked at the amazing view. It's not nearly as good on a .jpg as it is in person. And the rain didn't help.
    [​IMG]

    And I thought I'd add that I rolled 4 digits on the odo over during the trip:
    [​IMG]

    It was fun! I'm glad I finally got to meet other people with the same passion in cars as me! It was a great way to spend my 19th B-day :D
