Announcing the
Eastern Iowa MINIs Penultimate '08 IA-MN Border Skirmish Drive, to be held on
Saturday, November 1st!
Yes, we all know that the bronze hog known as
Floyd of Rosedale will not be contested until deep into the month of November; however, it's never too early to make a few quick, strategic strikes across the border. So, recognizing that the
EIM Iowa City Roundup on Oct 25 might leave some appetites sufficiently whetted for some quality motoring, plus the fact that several EIM'ers have expresssed an interest in an end-of-year motoring event up here in the northeast Iowa Alps before the need to shift to snow tires; thus this Penultimate '08 IA-MN Border Skirmish Drive was hatched.
See the attached flyer for the detailed route map (including coordinates for all of you GPS wonks). The drive starts at 9:30 am at the Decorah Trout Hatchery and winds its way to lunch at 11:30 am at
Doc's Blue Moose restaurant in Spring Grove, MN. From there we check out the twisties of the Root River valley and finish at 2:30 pm at the Mineart residence in Decorah for dessert, relaxation, conversation, college football on TV, etc.
Please post a reply or send me a PM or email if you plan on joining us so we can get an accurate count. Should be a fun time!
