Having a lobster show up on your feet unexpectedly would make for some interesting driving, especially if you were wearing sandals!

 

So I just found out about this. Sounds pretty cool. Is it too late to join the drive?

 

Heck no! Motor on with us!

 

I'll try to make it then.

 

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and their MINIs!

 

Hey Nabeshin, we look forward to meeting you and seeing your Mini!

 

...and maybe you can show us some of your famous artwork!

 

Hello Nabeshin,

I think I've read a few score of your posts and only now I notice your from Lincoln...

Look forward to meeting you and the rest of the C.O.R.N. Stalkers.

My MINI is nothing special, and I'm a pretty private person, but I anticipate a fun drive.

Artwork... Well, I guess you can see my wristwatch in person, if you want.

All my art is on my computer and I still tend to fail at pencil work. I need the computer to easily erase and redo lines.


I hope some of my posts were useful to you.

I've lived in Lincoln for about 20 years now.
But by summer I'll be moving overseas.

 

Well, time draws near as I write this. We've put together a list of names of those planning to attend so we could get a head count for our dinner reservations.

This is the list as it stands now:

Moltenhalo 2
Wildthang 2
Jmike 1
Zyamfier 1
Rainman 2
Minipaige 2
Nabeshin 1
Fishbone 2
Tancred 1

So today we'll call for reservations for 14 for dinner. Oh...this restaurant is probably just below prices at Upstream, so plan accordingly and don't forget some money for your dinner.

We'll make reservations for 18, so we have some extra room in case we get more people as time draws near.

At this time of year, the Loess Hills National Forest Office in Pisgah is closed on saturdays. So we won't be stopping there, but it's great scenery and roads in that area. We'll figure out another place to stop in Iowa for a break maybe...

We have 8-9 cars so far, and 14 people for the motoring so far! Unless I missed someone. (if I did, let us know, and we'll amend this).

Well, it's nice to see the sun here this week, we think Spring draws near and we're lookin foward to some Mini Motoring!

 

There is a nearby option of a really nice 50' observation tower at the Hitchcock Nature Center, just 9 miles off our route as we drive south on I-29. We would take the Rosewood exit 4 1/2 miles north of where we leave I-29 to take 680 to return to Omaha. So, if we have the time and the inclination, it's a great view of the loess hills from a nice tower built on top of the ridge, with a nature center at the base, and it's just barely off our path. It costs $2 per car to enter the park.

 

Can you add two more to the dinner reservations? My brother and I will be joining you if that's okay.

Gotcha Steve!

Add +2 for dinner, and +1 MINI!

 

I also plan on doing the tour. It will be myself for sure and maybe my 13yo son. However, we will probably not do dinner due to a prior engagement. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing all the coopers. I hope the weather is good and we'll see you guys there.

 

Outstanding Scooter!

+1 MINI

 

Here's hoping the weather is like today or even nicer! Ran out for lunch and was stunned at how nice it is!

 

We're set for Tussey's, reservations with a little extra room for more to join. We will have their party room for the evening, so it'll just be us, and the owners wife will be selecting three to four dinner choices for us to choose from since we will be such a large group.

She seemed very excited to have us!

 

So how much is that exactly?


Also, I should probably point out for those that do not know... my long series of sig pictures weren't/aren't/isn't of me. I get on average one pm a week about it, usually from newer members. I keep my sig and rotate the picture because I have a weakness for cute girls, and the changing of my sig is a kind of anticipated and looked forward to event on here.

 

Nabeshin, estimate 15$ a plate, plus a drink.

They also have wonderful deserts...mmmm

 

Put me down for 2 also. Thanks

 

Smieska! Consider it done!

+1 MINI Cooper +2 for dinner

 

It is possible that I will bring an additional person in my MINI. And if I am correct JMike will likely bring his wife. He will probably chime in here anyway with his #'s.

 

The restaurant is seating us in their party room which can hold around 45. So I'll get a head count next week to try to give as close of a number coming for dinner as possible.

Our point is, plenty of room for more!

 

Is there a motel/hotel close by to the starting point? Driving from SF to Omaha, to SC, back to Omaha, then back here is alot of driving for one day.

 

MINIPaige we would suggest the Omaha Airport hotels. They would be about 15 minutes from where we're having dinner/starting point. You have Super 8, La Quinta, Country Inn, and Sleep Inn. Another 5 minutes Double Tree, Hilton and Fairfield Inn which is Marriot.
