Whos going to the Dragon?

So anyone but me planning on going down to MINIs on the Dragon, MOTD.
It sure would be great to meet up with some fellow Canucks down there.

I've never been, but can hardly wait to go, and motor on that road

Well one more day of work on Saturday, then Sunday I'm out of here

Going to motor down hwy. 59 as parts of 75 are under water, plus I here 75 has lots of heaving on it. Hope to get to Minneapolis in 9-10 hours.

Then Monday, we will stop at inioway's for the night. Then Tuesday a short 4-5 hour run to St. Louis.

Lois, Ruby and I head to the Dragon on the 29th

Have a great trip! Take lots of pics!

We just gor back from Grand forks for a SCCA Badlands Autocross (we did great for our first one on our heavy run flats 14th /56 or something like that) and took HWYS 59, 201, 75. That is the best way if you get this before you leave. There are TONS of dead deer in the ditches everywhere but we were lucky tonight driving at dusk and saw none (aka alive) but be careful!

Also, there are some very rough patches on HWY 59 past St Malo

Well Van. is about 24 hours to Wpg. Then 28 hours from Wpg. to the Dragon.
Guess you could knock some of the off by zig zaging down. But not much. Worth the trip through
