But you guys are important to me too so I will be driving during the day and celebrating at night. Us locals can drive home but you will surely enjoy your hotel. I will get with Norm on our arrival to your hotel sat am. See you then, Motor On. Lisa

It looks as if MR ECON will be participating in the Saturday and Sunday drives. We are looking forward to being part of a long line of MINIs rolling through the Sierra over the Labor Day weekend.

 

Mr. Econ..If I was going to be here I would bring you 2 dozen donuts to eat while you sit......Rolling over tahoe...more like inching over tahoe (on Labor Day weekend)....Tahoe for me...later in October BEFORE Ski Season and After the tourists leave....Sun Valley will be a mess too...will use my cane and hoof it...damed achilles tendon!!

 

Will be doing Sat. and Sun. runs also. Just returned today from my other week off. Will get together with Lisa before weekend to talk. What a TRIP I HAD. Glenn

 

Any minis going on the Tahoe run meet at North Albertson's in Carson City sat morning at 8 am. Sept.2. We will go directly to meet REME minis and hopefully have a few moments to chat up there. Gordon will meet us there as will Glenn. I'm soooooo glad your'e back Glenn. I thought maybe you just kept on motoring across the US. I did make reminder calls. Hope to see everyone join in. Lisa

 

Sorry. For the run sunday meet same place in Carson City but at 7:30 am.

 

Is there going to be a stop for a meal? The longest break listed in the schedule is a half hour some place beyond Virginia City. Do we bring a picnic lunch?

Jeff,

Hope you had a great time in Sun Valley! However we had unlimited amount of donuts (hotel had them out every morning for everyone, whether you stayed there or not) and the traffic around the lake was not bad at all. We were able to stay together pretty well all the way around. Weather was perfect. The pace was "swift".
