MINI's on the Dragon 2007 - Denver to Dragon Caravan and Road Food Tasting Tour
(Edited January 31, 2007)
The MOTD2007ARFTT is officially announced! For 2007, the Great Denver to KC to StL to Dragon caravan has morphed into something else. Heck, we figure that as long as we are going that far, we might as well enjoy some good 'eatin along the way, therefore the Road Food Tour. Here are the logistics. Please POST if you will either join us or meet us along the way, or if you think you have a local eatery worth stopping at.
Thanks, see you there, again.

You know it! "DRAGON baby"
You know Zyamfier will be there. (what would a dragon trip be without the Dragon Wagon)
I did take a road trip not too long ago accross Nothern KS on HWY 18. See pictures here. Did not have the chance to find many interesting eating locations, but plan on making a trip down that way again before the end of winter. I will keep you informed of what I find.
Also, I will inform the Omaha Coopers on thier yahoo forum.
I can't wait. This will be great.

Jim, you can have the room
right in the front yard. You know, the one under the tent right next to the porch, just past the stump, on the other side of the gutter.
And you can use our loo, as long as you change the TP and bring some beer.
See you there, on the way, somewhere in NE, at a little roadside restaurant.

Here is my proposed agenda for the Dragon next spring
Saturday to Nebraska, maybe a group gtg at the dealer in Omaha?
Sunday to StL via rural Iowa and Missouri - Dinner on the Hill (Italian, of course)
Monday to Indiana (Brown County / Nashville area)
Tuesday to Knoxville (Smoky Mountain area)
Wednesday to the Dragon via the Smokies (practically there already)
We will plan to eat our way down, doing the backroads, finding the diners, nothing but net.
Jim, you are in charge of the NE party, location, details, whatever.

I drove that road back in October
when I was in KC for the American Royal. Went to Atchison to pay respects to my Grandfather (who was born there) and Amelia Earhart (Purdue Grad). Frankly, the River Road was not all that exciting, nor was Leavenworth (did not stop at the PX). I would not choose to do it again - there was lots of traffic and it was very hard to get around what was there, even tho I had a nice little Chrysler Crossfire.
But hey, country roads are country roads and I'll drive any of 'em....
