What route are you taking.

I am in Nebraska along I-80 so if you are comming by this way I will tag along. There may be a few here that will also go. I talked to a few of my fellow MINI owners this weekend about it. Also, if you can twist Gabes arm a bit more he will be comming that way. At least he came through there when he purchased his first MINI.

The best way to see where everybody is coming from is to use "Frappr". This cool site shows everybody's location as a pushpin on a Google map specifically for MINIs in the Mountains. You can post your own location, as well as a few photos, etc. It's fun and easy. Just visit the MITM2006 group on Frappr at this link: http://www.frappr.com/mitm2006

I see that Dan from Brighton, IL is motoring west...

Caravan across Kansas

If you guys/gals from the North and East are coming across I-70 we'll try to meet up with you around Salina, KS.
We can come up from Oklahoma to I-70 then over to Denver.
If it can work out that'll be great, otherwise we'll see you in the Mountains
At present the plan is to leave Wed. morning whichever way we go. To early to tell for sure.

Hi All! I don't know what # we are but let me tell you, it has to be low. I lived on NAM waiting for the registrations to open. Silver Eagle and I (Mini Grani), will be coming from Tulsa, OK. Son Jon will be coming also in his MINI.
We plan to leave here on the Saturday before the MTM. Think we aren't excited?

Coming in from Dallas. Planning on going up through Amarillo and Raton NM and then up 25 to Denver I think. The drive up I-35 and then over I-70 is quicker, but BOOOORRRINNG!

I'm coming from Salt Lake, but I have to go south through I-70. If any of you So Cal or Las Vegas people want to meet where UT hwy 6 and 70 meet, let me know. Also, anyone coming from No Cal that are coming through I-80 can meet us UT folk for the whole drive out. Not sure how many we have coming from our MiniUtah group yet. Still should be a lot of fun though.

You bet Sandie. We should have a place and time all set up, once of course it gets a bit closer and all. I'm having trouble getting solid commitments out of our Utah club, but it's still over a month away. We'll have to see what our total head count is.

I'm driving from Lincoln, Ne. Only about 9 hours to get there. So Zyamfier, I'll be driving by you in Minden also. So we should all try to hook up and create a MINIvoy, or something. Could be interesting. Too bad I-80 wasn't more interesting to drive.

Oh yeah any Nebraska MINI's want to join and help start a club over by Lincoln and Omaha and Grand Island just PM me or something so we can welcome the new MINI dealership in Omaha.
