MINIs on the Beartooth Highway! (Montana)
My friend and I are looking for MINIacs who want to motor through the Beartooth Pass and into northern Yellowstone for a day (possibly two, if you're coming from afar).
We roughly have the dates of August 16/17. Lunch in Red Lodge, MT for sure.
Other than that, we're waiting for responses if anyone's interested before we make more exact plans.
So....if you're in the neighborhood and want to join us, post here or send me a PM. --
We're hoping to get some other Bozeman MINIs and other people in the nearby states to come on this rally too!
This is a sort of tentative schedule of times we have planned so far....but we're very open to change, too! We want to accommodate anyone that is driving here from further away (ie Wyomining, Helena, ect.)
Leave Bozeman 9:00am
--> Take I-90 East to Columbus
--> Take HWY 212 South to Red Lodge via Joliet
Meet at Red Lodge 12:00pm
Lunch at Red Lodge ~ 1 hour
--> Drive BT HW 4 hours
Arrive at Mammoth ~ 5:00pm
Head home
Hope to hear some replies with people that would like to come on this adventure through one of America's most amazing highways!
Take care,
-Andy

Sounds good--we're pretty much set for now w/the schedule. We've got a meetup point chosen in Bozeman and we'll be meeting others along the way (Springdale, Columbus), so just let us know where you'd like to connect with us when we get closer to that weekend. You can PM Andy or me with your contact info if you want us to add you to the list.

In case anyone's still lurking--we had a pretty good turnout--14 cars, about 25 people, and lots of twisties!
Here's a couple videos:

Hi Everyone,
We'll be posting some more information on the rally this weekend. I spoke with Mel for an hour yesterday and we finalized some details for this rally. It should be significantly more organized and we have a couple neat things in store for everyone!
Yellowstone is amazing this time of the year so it's sure to be an incredible drive through the park and on the Beartooth Highway!

Andy - I don't know how I missed this. As you know MINI5280 did a Yellowstone trip on June 5 - 8 and had a great time. I'd love to do this with you guys but just don't know if I can swing it and MITM the following week. I'm going to try and make it happen though. Let me talk to the boss (my wife) and see how over committed I am already. Sounds like a great trip and hopefully will have much less snow then we had in June.

I can probably do this. I've even got a route: Google
So let me see if I can get any MINI5280 members to go with me, see if I can find a room in Bozeman (I've got relatives in Powell as a back-up) and see if I can get my oil changed.
If I do this can we get at least one MT MINI at MITM this year?

Glad you're able to come, Chuck! That's one heck of a nice drive up here for ya! Can't express my appreciation for you coming! That's really great!
If you need further details or anything, please don't hesitate to call: 406.600.2697
The details on our website have been updated. Soon I'll have a map on there showing the route but it's pretty straight forward as described by the text. Please visit www.bigskyminis.com for the info.
I would love to do MITM sometime! I'm not sure if it's in the cards for this year. There's a lot of question as to my employment situation so I can't commit to anything right now. But if it's possible I'll certainly try for this year or next! Actually, I have to look up the dates to see when it is and make sure it didn't already pass! :-)
Take care,
