    We're excited to have you here at DCMM. I think I've chatted with you in one of the MTTS FB groups, happy to have another MTTS veteran heading out there. What day are you both arriving? I'm thinking of doing a DCMM dinner on the night of July 12th in ABQ
  3. At Bat
    I'm planning to leave on July 6, arrive in Albuquerque on July 11. Will spend the off day in Jackson Hole, WY. I registered for Leg 1, only. Will probably go to Bozeman but no further. Will return home from there. I'm fairly new to DC Metro Minis, but this will be my 4th MTTS. My Mini is a red 2010 Clubman S.

    Thank you, we've got a nice group going to what looks to be an awesome breakfast spot .. hoping after that point some folks heading east will stick together, and MINIs heading northeast will too!

    One of my very good friends is hiking the AT this year. He is scheduled to spend two nights at Fontana during MOTD. He will likely be there Mon-Wed and is staying in the lodge. Some of you have met him, his name is Chuck. Here’s a link to his blog: http://www.trailjournals.com/CstumpAT2024/

    I also only use GT Peace, and can't recommend them enough! They know their stuff and will treat you right! Change your oil every 5,000 miles! Just be sure to book at least a couple weeks in advance as GT Peace gets pretty busy during prime driving months.

    I am leaving Virginia on 10JUL24. Staying in Nashville, Oklahoma City, and picking up Jill at the airport in Albuquerque on the 12th. We have all the hotels booked and will be in Alpine, WY on the 17th (non-rally day). Haven’t completely decided if we will continue to Seattle or head back from Bozeman. We will decide that a few weeks out.

    Thanks for all the replies. I am in DC (Foggy Bottom). I saw another thread yesterday recommending GT Peace so I booked an appointment with them. It's half what the stealership quoted so that seems reasonable. One more question. My Mini is a 2021 Cooper S with 20k. I've only driven it 3000 miles since I got it (and it's 95% highway miles) too. I am a photographer and mostly use it to go to the places I am taking pictures at. The guy at GT Peace said that they recommend changing the oil every 5000 miles or one year, though Mini clearly (and loudly) recommends a change every 6000 miles or 6 months. So I am due based on the latter. Do you guys follow the Mini recommendations or does the GT Peace recommendation make more sense (in which case I could probably wait another 2-3 months). BTW, it's not really about the cost but more about what makes the most logical sense.

    Hi @TotallyMinnie Welcome to DCMM, we're happy you're here. To answer your question, what area do you live in? I have a good place in Frederick MD, but I know most of the club lives in VA. Maybe @1975_mini can help with VA shops

    What are you doing for your free day?

    Jason & I are still planning to go. All hotels except Seattle are booked.

    Hi everyone! New to the forum (just found it) and owner of a lovely 2021 S in Solaris Orange. It's time to do the first maintenance (and I am new to Mini) and just called the dealership and almost fell of my chair $550 for engine oil and air filter. Wow. So was wondering if anyone can recommend another place to do the maintenance that is not the dealership? Thanks! Photo of "Nemo" below

    This makes me so bummed, glad you're getting to MOTD though, you'll have a blast.

    My new position does not have the flexibility I had in January, so we have to pull out. So bummed to miss it. I cancelled all the hotel reservations this weekend, I was dragging my feet, but there is no way I can be gone from work that long.

    It's a few months later, who is still going to MTTS for sure? Mike is driving me out to ABQ, our route is pretty much set. Due to my hEDS I can only tolerate days of 7 hours of driving or less, so we're driving slowly to ABQ starting on the 5th *I'm also doing Lava Hot Springs as my non rally day/overnight on my way to Bozeman. Would be interested to hear what everyone else is doing? *And lastly, some of us are doing Mt Rainier on 7/21 between Yakima & Seattle and we got the 1:00 entrance time (It's reservation only this summer) if anyone would like to join us.

    I can't make it this year, but I'm glad to see this one back on the calendar and hope it sticks around. The roads are great and Catoctin Mountain Orchard is a fun destination.
