The route is set for the first Eastern Iowa MINIs motoring event of 2009!
Our Second
EIM River Views Run is planned for Saturday, April 25th. The drive kicks off at
9:15 am on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River in Clinton, IA. From there we cross the bridge into Illinois, traverse north along the river plain, and explore a few back roads east of Savanna, IL.
Our route then takes us up to Lookout Point in
Mississippi Palisades State Park where we'll take a break and enjoy the panoramic view below. We back track just a bit to catch up with some superb twisties
east of the park as we head north and eventually find ourselves stopping for lunch at
Charlie's Place in Hanover, IL at high
noon.
The rolling countryside continues as we motor north, pass by Galena, momentarily slip over the state line into Wisconsin, and then head back toward the river and Dubuque. Our final planned activity is a visit to the
National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium at the Port of Dubuque. We should arrive at the Aquarium around
2:00 pm.
Detailed route information including times, waypoint coordinates, distances, street names, and descriptions of each leg of the drive, are in the file attached to this post.
Feel free to post, PM, or email me if you have any questions.
How sweet it will be to get out on the open road together.
Hope you have room on your calendar to join us.
