Iowa Fall Cruise -- Central Iowa Owners
Iowa Fall Cruise -- Central Iowa Owners
Saturday, October 9th -- weather looks fantastic 
Meeting point is the McDonalds in Pleasant Hill out east on University by US 65 interchange.
It is about 2 hours from there to Fairfield, probably need to be on the road by 8:30-8:45am at the latest, assuming we'll need a pit stop along the way.
Here is the Schedule:
11:00 Fairfield. If you have time before lunch, check out the HUGE mural on the
side of the Sondhiem Art Center, downtown at 200 North Main. Lunch at 11:00 in
the private MINI room at the Pizza Ranch: 1103 West Burlington Avenue.
11:50 Head out on our Fall Adventure, the 8th Annual!
12:15 Stockport Youngest of the Villages of Van Buren County (1902).
12:35 Bonapart "Smallest Main Street" community in the U.S. Be alert for horses
and buggies! You are supposed to ask permission before photographing the Amish.
12:45 -1:05 Bentonsport Our first stop. We'll try for a picture on the 1882
bridge and/or near the 1885 church.
1:25-2:25 Keosauqua State Park. Lets hope for great fall colors! The
Buckskinner's Rendezvous will be fun, too.
3:00-4:00 Eldon. The folks at the American Gothic House are expecting us!
Spirited driving alert after we cross the river!
4:30 Drakesville The only town in the world with this name. Devon, at the Quick
Time convenience store, is expecting to make a rest stop here.
4:50 Moravia There is a BP station just outside of town. We will briefly stop
here.
5:15 Honey Creek State Park. Enjoy the colors by the lake
6:00 Dinner at Honey Creek Resort
A great opportunity to meet fellow Mini owners

Have a blast! I'm originally from central Iowa & know some of your stops well. Driving those roads in a MINI - or in a convoy of MINIs - would be sweet!
Hope to see some pics when you get back.

Just thought that I'd add here, beings I can't get Rogers address with the Central Iowa Mini, that Willis of Des Moines has announced that they will be open for business as Mini of Des Moines on December 20, 2010. They made December, Great News.....
