    Its getting to that time of year where we can start enjoying the fall colors. For the last several years we have done the drive down to Wabasha and crossed over to Wisconsin and take some of the wonderful roads out there.

    This year we will be reducing the pace from previous years. I have spoken to several members who have expressed concern that the pace was a little to fast. I have to tend to agree with some of the incidents in the past that could have been avoided with a reduction in the pace.




    Meet at Border Books (University/Hamline)
    We will be leaving at 9:00am sharp.
    Come with a full tank of gas and some munchies and a frs radio. There will be stops along the way about every hour.


    We will meet the 507 crowd at the usual spot as in years past.

    Ob1 Kanobee will be in a Nissan! LOL


    So what's the plan for lunch or are we evening having a lunch? The pace will be soo nice you can even have your GF or wife drive.

    In the past we have made a short check list for your car just to avoid any misfortunes that could of been avoided by regular maintenance. Some of the highlights OB1 will be taking you thru will cause a loss of air to the brain as it's very thin up there and some of the roads on the mountain side cliffs will certainly take your breath away as well. A Oxygen tank might not be a bad idea but its not required to participate.

    But most important of all just space yourself apart appropriately to so you have room to enjoy the scenery and avoid getting dinged by the rocks kicked from the cars in front. :laugh:

    Nope no Nissan this year. We will see if we can point some other car towards a tree this year.

    Everybody needs listen about spacing your self. There have been many rock chips and several broken windshields.

    I've gone with you guys the past two years and it was a blast. Odds are I will make it this year too, hopefully. The car is certainly still ready as ever, at least it'll give me another reason to keep the summer rubber on :biggrin:

    Well damn, I am going to be leaving for TN early Sunday so I guess I won't be going on this one, but I will on the 25th, come hell or high water! The LGT is longing for those roads. Don't know how much longer I can hold her back.

    Wish I could come. My car won't be ready until Tuesday at the earliest. Unless, the weather isn't bad, I'll consider bringing my bike. Will you guys be going on anything unpaved??

    It's all paved, but there are sections that sometimes will have a bit of loose gravel or old cow pie on the road, since it is all small country roads.
