WHERE: WOOLY MAMMOTH RTD Parking Lot-exit #259 from I-70 go North at intersection then turn left for US40 & I'll be in the 2nd parking lot on the left.

Hope everyone still comes, we're overdue for a drive

Remember, there is a drive on Saturday via Squaw Pass road with breakfast in Idaho Springs.

Get out and have some fun, it will be a great Saturday.

Take pictures as I will not make this one. :(

Will likely be there, but ya'll will have to excuse my filthy exterior...shameful, I know, but I've been literally unable to give MiniPook a bath since the floods, and given the full hour drive to get to Wooly Mammoth in the morning, she's not gonna get clean then...

This was a fun outing.

It's nice to just get out and motor with other MINIs.

We picked up GP2 0292 up on Squaw Pass while waiting for construction.
GP2 0292 David, nice to meet you. Robert

Thanks Jamie for organizing everything.

I met a few more folks this morning too, nice to meet everyone.

That Mammoth Park-n-Ride was a good spot, big enough lot for us to have a MINI only area.

There is a little coffee shop across the street to grab a "Cuppa"
FULL STEAM AHEAD COFFEE COMPANY

Nice to meet you too

Great running up on you guys Saturday. Seeing all of you in one place was a lot of fun. I would have loved to stay for breakfast, but I had to go home and change out to a Honda Pilot and drive my son to Leadville for the state high school mountain bike race. There's a lot of color just starting at 10,000 feet though. My son is taking the SAT on October 5. If he doesn't need us, my wife and I will be there for take two. I joined 5280 three years ago with my JCW, but never got out. Now that the kids are just about done and I ditched the back seats I hope to renew and get out more.
