Hey everybody

I've worked up a new rallye route for the community and Mark, I think Lois, and I are going to give it a Beta Test on Sat 5/30 starting at 9:00A

Route starts at Grays Summit & 44. From there winds down past Meremac State Park to Hwy 32 and then winds back up through the backroads ending at Hwy 30 & 141. I'm *guessing* about 5 hours drive time. With Lunch and pit stops add another 1.5 hour

This is not a 'official' st. louis mini club event, whatever 'official' is.

All are welcome though. Since it's a Beta Test there will likely be some stops and starts hence the "Beta" test

If interested drop me a email at tgs91@sbcglobal.net and I'll get you a copy of the route map w/ instructions.

 

Yup, Lois and I are going. The dogs will come along too, if it's not to hot out

Mark

 

With DOG as my co-pilot................

Planning on bringing mine as well

 

Tony and I will try to be there.

We'll leave the dog at home to guard the castle.

 

clean the MINI, rally the MINI, clean the MINI, rally the MINI, I just cleaned it so it must be time to RALLY THE MINI!

 

That's the spirit

WOOOHOOO what a blast, I'm worn out! We had a great time, found some great twistys, ate an excellent lunch and made a few wrong turns on our way to an excellent day of motoring! Now it's time to clean the MINI.

 

Lesson learned-As much as "Lick Skillet Rd" and "Pigeon Roost Rd." sound appealing looking on a map of Franklin County.......1) u ain't likely gonna find a road sign for it and 2) IF you do, it's no kinda road I'm takin' my MINI down!

We stuck to letters and numbers and had a rip snortin' good time.

If you make it down Caledonia way the Oak Creek Cafe' is well worth the stop

Thanks Tony and Susan for a awesome game of follow the leader 'MINI style'! YeeeeeeHaaaa!!

 

Sounds like a good route. When is the full blown club outing going to be?

I'm going to be out of town for most of the next 2 months, and the list of things to get done before I go, got in our way

Mark

 

good question

I need to re-do the route map that I shared with you removing all the gravel roads, etc and I'll get it over to Dan Heubner. After that I'll leave it in his capable hands

Also working on a 'great river route' basically from Columbia, IL to Cape Girardeau and back.

Plenty of cool motoring ahead

I'll be at the Social Hour, maybe talk then?

 

Let us know if you want/need help in the Cape Girardeau region. We live less than an hour southwest of Cape.

We're working on another rallye in our area, but not the Cape area (we did one last year) so the runs shouldn't overlap and folks can have more motoring fun.

 

I'll shoot you a copy when I get it a little further along

Thanks for the offer!

 

Sounds great!
