EIM Border Skirmish Drive - 4/17
The EIM Border Skirmish Drive is a twisty motoring event in the scenic bluff country of NE Iowa and SE Minnesota, starting and finishing in Decorah.
Meet up time is 9:15 am at the Decorah Trout Hatchery, which is located in Siewers Spring State Park off of Trout Run Road about a mile south of town. Our lunch stop is Doc's Blue Moose in Spring Grove, MN. We should arrive at the cafe around 11:30 am and plan for an hour stop. We plan to finish at approximately 3:15 pm in Decorah, where we'll have some dessert and refreshment and can recap the highlights of the drive. We're also expecting a reporter from the local decorahnews.com to stop by, take some pictures, and document our gathering.
If you have GMRS/FRS radios, please bring them along.
*See the attached PDF file for a detailed route map.
RSVPs are always appreciated. You can do so by adding your NAM name to the list located in the EIM Calendar (<-link) for that day.
Get ready to motor.

Gary,
I'll put on more miles just going to/fro Decorah. So I'm making the trip up a MINI run as well. Eventually I'll take 51 north from Potsville to Ludlow. From Ludlow should I stay on Hwy 9 or take the A52? I'll drive up the night before and stay at a local hotel. Any recommendations? (I hear Gary's Bed & Breakfast is a 4 star establishment .)

The kids and I are here at the Super 8 her in Decorah.
Oldsbear and Lolly are here too.
On the way up we ate dinner at Breitbach's in Balltown.
They had a dinner buffet going on for 15.95 for adults and kids were 1/2 price. I love a buffet but 15.95....no thank you.
Looking forward the complimentary breakfast here at the Super 8.
See ya in the morning.

Paul and Nora, your "little excursion" was a total bummer. Hope you're back up to full operations real soon!
Tony, thanks for sharing your local knowledge today...it was much appreciated.
