STL MINI Fall Colours Tour Sunday Oct 22

Hi everyone,

We are planning a Fall Colours Tour for the MINI Club. Not a fast paced road rallye but a leisurely drive through the countryside to look at the fall colours. Mick (Killerbee) has also planned a sign hunt with prizes to the winners No placards, just a lot of fun

WHEN: SUNDAY OCT. 22

WHERE: I-44 & HIWAY 109 IN EUREKA ON THE SCHNUCKS PARKING LOT

TIME: MEET AT 1:30 LEAVE AT 2PM


We will have an early Sunday dinner at the Big Cedar Inn in Pacific after the run.

I hope to see everyone there!!!!!!

Fletcher & I should be able to attend this one also. I'm glad it's a slower one for Fletcher to enjoy the ride also

I can't make this one. The final race of the Formula 1 season is on that day and there's no way I would miss it! Viva Alonso!!!

I missed you again

I just noticed that you are indeed haveing a fall colour outing. I was told that the poker run thing took it's place. Darn, I have already scheduled to take a ride with some mini folks in northern Illinois, you people are more fun to drive with, oh well, maybe next time.
Bye, Bye for now,
Di

Are you still a member of the Club? If so, maybe your email address is wrong & you are not getting my emails about events. Also you can go directly to our web site stlmini.com & see what is scheduled. This run was planned just a couple of weeks ago. Slow paced, shorter in length, than our previous Fall runs. The Poker Rallye was indeed meant to take the place of the longer Fall Rallye.

Well...it's a bright sunny crisp fall morning so it looks like I did a good job with the weather. The color tour is waiting for us and we will be eating at Applebee's afterward. We will have you out of Applebees in plenty of time to drive leisurely home and arrive with enough time to pop some corn, pour a beverage, and settle back in your recliner to watch the Birdos take game 2.
I have 30 tour direction sets printed up so if you haven't responded yet it will be no problem...the more the merrier. I think you will enjoy this route as it will give you some narrow, curvy, and colorful roads to traverse at a pace set to enjoy the scenery. Hope to see you there.
Mick and Jan

Beautiful Fall colors ! I let my navigator answer all the quiz questions while I enjoyed the foliage

Mick, I'd like to see the photos you took of all the MINIs on the road--that should look great!

Mark, it was nice to finally meet you and Ruby!

Cheers,

John

Thanks

Jan and Mick, as ususal you gave us some great roads and it was nice to run them at speeds that allowed the driver to sight see along the way. Thanks so much for organizing a wonderful afternoon. My 5 laps around the traffic circle were a lot of fun too. Can't wait for your Christmas light tour. Hope to see you two soon, the next happy hour is in your neighborhood. Can't wait to see the pictures from today.
Not all who wander are not lost,

Mr Sun and his passengers....

Mick and Jan,

Thanks for taking the time to set the course for a great Fall drive. You picked the cream of the crop as far as roads are concerned and the colors of the trees were much better than Mr Sun's travels last week.

Deb, Mark and I had a wonderful time and we will see everyone at the Christmas Lights tour.

I am up in Peoria today and the trees are WAYYYYYY passed prime.

Marty, Debbie, and our co-navigator - Mark
