June 23-25, 2006
Please join Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts on our biggest event planned to date. Most of the itinerary has been developed but is subject to minor change as the event date approaches. Please RSVP by February 15 so that we can book the rooms. Additionally you will have to individually reserve rooms at the hotels / motels listed prior to May 1st.

Please review the following description of the weekend planned:

06-23-06: Everyone will meet in Redding Friday night. Because members will be arriving all hours of the day and night (and possibly early Saturday morning), dinner will be on your own or with other Mini Enthusiasts you meet upon your arrival. If you arrive early enough and have made reservations, join members for dinner on a Shasta Lake Dinner Cruise.

06-24-06: Participants will meet by 8:30am for a 9:00am departure. We will head west on SR-299 towards Weaverville, up SR-3 to have lunch at Trinity Center. After lunch we will take back country mountain roads to Gazelle, Weed, and eventually south to Mount Shasta. Please refer to the route map. After checking in the motel, interested participants will have a short group run to Bunny Flat on Mount Shasta. Dinner is on your own or you can join the group headed for dinner on the Shasta Sunset Dinner Train.

06-25-06: Sunday will be a very full day of driving. After departing from Mount Shasta at 9am, we will take a spirited drive to Burney Falls for an early picnic lunch and Mount Lassen for a late picnic lunch (or snack). We will return to Redding in the late afternoon or early evening depending on stops. Please refer to the route map. Plan on joining the group for dinner and spend another night in the Redding area, or just head home.
