MINIs at Robert’s home

Robert invited a number of MINI friends over for dinner, and I took pictures! Dinner was pizza, salad, custard filled cream puffs and assorted liquid refreshments; and lots of great chats with friends!

Robert arrived safely from Los Angeles, and now has the keys to GPMINI, ready for his trip West … Then, Friday morning, Robert has begun his route, and the garage is empty:

I’ve been trying to review MINI Takes The States 2010 to see where they plan to send our MINIs, and whether I want to “go with the flow” or just join the group sometimes … for example, I might prefer two nights in Las Vegas, by skipping Phoenix!
Trouble is, MINI really haven’t published anything yet! They’ve named hotels, and said there will be Rise & Shine rallies – but no route details and nothing about other possible events at the intermediate hotels … so time to figure things out for myself!

Looking at the route around Winter Park, CO, i see this:

And way back in 2003, Margaret and I found Nebo Loop Scenic Byway south of Salt Lake City, UT – I said at the time it was a MINI road, so we should definitely try to drive it!

I wonder how many more interesting places there are …
