Has anyone motored on the Kancamagus Highway before? It's quite a ride! It's a 26.5 mile ride along one of the most scenic foliage routes in the US! You start in Lincoln, NH and travel through the White Mountains while climbing to the peak of Mt. Kancamagus, and end in Conway, NH (or you can go from Conway to Lincoln). It follows SR-112 and it is quite the drive, reaching a peak elevation of 2855 feet (lowest elevation of 850 feet). It is a HIGHLY popular drive during the foliage season (late September/early October). I was thinking about getting a MINI meet up there sometime. I just didn't know who would be interested. I don't exactly when either. I'd just like to see who'd be interested in going. We can work out a time and date later. I was even thinking about getting something together for the spring of 2011 (April/May) and making a weekend of it. Even though it's a very beautiful drive with fall foliage, it's still a beautiful drive during the spring and summer. If anyone is interested, post a reply. For videos and pictures of it, Google or YouTube "Kancamagus Highway".

I hope to get a good amount of MINI owners to want to take the drive!

 

Well, there were a couple hundred of us there during Minis On Top at the end of June, and will be there again next June. I hope you can make then!

It's a great road, and made for Mini driving!

 

Yeah somehow I DIDN'T know about the MOT

Don't ask me how, but I feel stupid about it, lol.

I plan to go up for the weekend of September 11-12th. If anyone wants to go let me know!

I really wanted to have something going on in New England, but I don't want to steal MOT's thunder with doing the same thing! Maybe I can figure out something else to do for the spring that's in the area and we can try to get something going on. I would like to see some more events in our area up here. Something like MOT, MOTD, or MITM. I wish I lived a little closer to some of the events, and that's the main reason I want to try and put something together in the spring-time. If anyone has any ideas, let me know! I don't know of a lot of scenic drives up here besides the Kancamagus Highway that would be a great MINI drive so if you have an ideas, I would love to hear it!

 

It's a little far for me (9 hours), but check with the folks in the Mass Motoring Club- they have more people from the NH/MA/CT area.

I just signed up on the site today and posted it up on the forums there. Hopefully I can get a bunch of MINI owners to come
