Spring meet in the Twin Cities "Reading West"

[SVX-FF]

OK it has been a very disappointing 1st winter for me here in Minnesota. I was expecting a lot more snow and cold. My old state of Maryland got more snow than the Twin Cities. Now that thing are thawing out, I was thinking about a spring meet. It will be a good way for use to meet each other and get out of the house. It is also a good excuse to get all the little project done to our babys. I know that we have gained a few new menbers in this area.

It is the first week of March and I was thinking of having a little meet about the same time as Reading. That would be April 8th thru the 10th. We could meet on just a Saturday or all three days.

Does anyonr know of a good place to meet and an area to have a fun little drive. Also a place to eat would be good too. Let me know what you all want to do.

That sounds great.... I might be able to come, depending on the homework load/tests/design projects. It would be nice to meet some of these other people who drive these cars too.

Ok here is what I am thinking. We all meet at the visitor center in Stillwater on saturday morning say around 9:00 am. About noonish we have a drive up to the Taylor Falls/ St. Croix Falls visitor center in WI. After that we drive to the Marshland visitor center in MN. This will put us back onto a major road, SR-70. We can than drive back to northern Minneapolis for a dinner at a cheap reasturant. I.E. Old Country Buffet, or somthing like that.

From Stillwater to Taylor Falls is about 1 hour.
From Taylor Falls to Marshland is about another hour.
From Marshland to the Old Country Buffet in Coon Rapid is another hour by freeway.

Figure from 9 to noon is for saying high and b s ing, photo shot time, and gettingto know each other and about a total of 3 to 4 hours of driving time.

Please send any thought, sugestions, ideas, or complaints. I need input on this.

Forget going to an OCB, while it may increase your drive time a little, go here instead Lions Tap

N E 1 Else?

Maybe not a beer but a Coke/Pepsi (depending on availability) would be good

[SVX-FF]
