Be a part of our MINI trek of history, as we journey down backroads and visit some battlefields! Monocacy, John Brown, Antietam are on the route, along with a quick spin through Harpers Ferry and Sharpsburg where I'm sure we will quickly receive plenty of smiles, looks, and giggles! (If there is interest, we can continue after lunch and venture to Gettysburg and the outlet mall...)

We'll meet at and start from the FSK (Francis Scott Key - who else?) Mall in Frederick, MD - where I-70, I-270, 340, and 15 all conveniently meet. Meet and greet us at 9 at the parking lot between Hecht's and Value City - we'll depart at 9:30 to begin our historic, MINI introduction (infestation?) of the gullet of Maryland's panhandle!

Lunch details to be provided shortly... Please RSVP NLT October 7 to johndacrema@yahoo.com . We need a head count for the lunch stop

I did the check run last Sunday. Hope a lot of you can come, because it is a super, 100 mile run. There are several of the roads that are so great that they should be posted

FOR MINIs ONLY !!! OTHERS KEEP OFF.

The magic words (and you'll learn why on Saturday) are Chestnut Hill, Keedysville and Mt Tabor.

The meeting point is at the Francis Scott Key Mall in Fredrick. It is on the east side of MD 355 a couple of miles south of I70.

Y'all come -- Tom

"OOH!! ... Now I just have to dig out my winter clothes to bring with me for the weekend... " said Erin.

As I always tell my family in Fl, "you know it is going to be REALLY COLD! It could be as low as 60 Degrees by the time we meet!!!!! YOU had better break out the parka


I am glade you will be here for the ride.
John
