"Shift" Into Fall Rally: Oct. 16th, 2004

"Shift" into Fall Rally

Be sure to check back on this first post for updates!

Please forgive me for jumping the gun here but I want to be sure to get the right date reserved during peak color season this Fall. Yes.. Pennsylvania and New Jersey can be truly breathtaking in the Fall and wow do I have the roads picked out to capture the essence! There will be twisties, tunnels, and small steel bridges on scenic byways. There will also be a picnic by a lake and waterfall exploration.

Sorry... no prizes on this drive.. this one is all about Motoring with Mother Nature!

For the full experience, there are many great Bed and Breakfasts in the area.. You can find them by going here..Bucks County B&B Association

Please see details below and if you are going to make it, then email miniguys@comcast.net or

click here to RSVP!

When: Oct 16th: 9:30 AM

Where: Frenchtown Inn rear parking lot. Click here for directions..

Departure: After a 9:45am drivers meeting we will take off at 10:00 AM SHARP!

The group heads north on country roads for a picnic lunch by the lake just off of one of the old mine roads. Next we head off on our way to where the MINIs will climb Sunrise Mountain for a scenic overlook.

Next we continue on more tree covered country roads on our way to Bushkill, PA where we will explore the falls! Bushkill Falls (The Niagara of Pennsylvania). Plan on spending about an hour and a half here..

Finally, for those who are game, there are dinner plans in the works but have not been confirmed so check back on this post and you will get all the latest!

Please set this date aside early and don't forget to email miniguys@comcast.net or RSVP by clicking here!

Many thanks to Craig and all of his helpers in executing a fantastic
fall rally! We had the best of everything, charming towns,
beautiful scenery, great roads, an excellent dinner.....I loved how the driving was
broken up by our mini hikes, Bushkill Falls is definitely a place
I'll return to. Of course, great MINI/Mini enthusiasts and friends,
what would the cars be without the people?

Keep Motoring!!

Thanks for a Class Ralley

Bea and I enjoyed the views and most certainly the people this past Saturday. Very well planned and executed. We departed when we reached the Falls but did not miss the "all lanes in both directions" shutdown of I-95 north of Baltimore. Thanks for the hospitality. Come on down to Virginia sometime and join a DC Metro Mini event sometime.
