| Covered Bridge Cruise and Anniversary Meetup
Since the first meetup up last year in November, the number of MINI owners in Alabama has increased to about 100 (those I know about and have email addresses for). Therefore, we are going to make another tour of three Covered Bridges in Blount County and if we are lucky the color of the autumn leaves should make this years ride even more enjoyable. These bridges are historical and will not be around forever so don't miss your chance to drive through these wonderful bridges. PUT THIS DAY & DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR - SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6.
Following is a general schedule of the day's events:
Meet at 9:30 am (place undetermined)
Leave for Covered Bridges 10:00 am sharp
Visit the Horton Covered Bridge
Go to Palisade Park for lunch, snack, bathroom break, photo op, etc. (bring your own lunch).
Visit the Easley and Swann Covered Bridges
We will return to a predetermined location between 2 pm and 3 pm for pizza and conversation. Hopefully those who are unable to make the ride around to the covered bridges will be able to come and share some pizza and comraderie.
Last year we had 7 vintage Minis and 22 new MINIs. There is no reason this year cannot or should not be bigger and better. Only you can make it happen so make your plans now. We may even be able to get another police escort out of town if we ask nicely and hold our mouths right. More info to follow later, so keep up with your email and MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!
Also, Jerry, Auburn is not playing that weekend so you have no excuse. Roll Tide. Harold  |
