Great turnout, great driving weather, great brunch, great cause .. all together great time (in case it wasn't obvious!)

I saw that .. it is the only date the Brewery Comedy Tour will be in this area so no choice on the dates .. if it goes well (it's posted to C3M and Carlisle MINI, too, but so far not much response) there will be another chance next spring. Wish they synced up a little better to be able to do both! (Can always meet us for ice cream / dinner / comedy) .. Have fun, be safe, see you soon!

RSPV'd .. how to indicate +1 (presuming an accurate headcount will be needed for lunch since it's separate from the MTTB drive event)?

Ha .. and since I saw there was a photoshoot, I thought for sure you were going to be there! Have fun at the beach! You'll be missed! I know what you mean, not enough weekends for all the options! I know the dealership is hosting a breakfast and a dinner, I've got fingers crossed there's enough of a turn out that they are inclined to do the same in the future! Regardless, it's a place I've never been, and I'm going through Mini Takes the States withdrawal so I'm ready!

MINIs Take Mountain Lake (4th annual) I was really posting this to see if others were planning to attend and interested in caravanning .. but then I realized if you aren’t on Facebook (like me) you might not have even heard about it, so I thought I’d post the details. It’s not too late to join in .. You are invited to the 4th episode of fun in the world of MINI. Southwest Virginia is home of beautiful mountains and roads that flow right to our destination, Mountain Lake Lodge. Wilderness and adventure is literally outside your door. This is also home of the classic film "Dirty Dancing". We have events planned on this weekend get-a-way. BBQ's and bonfires, swaying roads and great food! There are countless activities that the resort makes available to each guest from bird watching to zip lining. We are very excited to have leaders in the MINI community by our side. Flow MINI Out Motoring and GoBadges will help support our MINIacs. Welcome and thank you for being a part of the fourth annual MTML, hosted by MINI Club of Southwest Va. Mountain Lake Lodging Schedule of events: Friday: Duncan Imports and Classic Cars This is a must see classic car collection that is the largest of its kind in North American. Star-light Drive In We will head out to Starlight Drive-In to watch the big screen in style and from the comfort of our MINIs or lawn chair. This has been a MINIs Take Mountain Lake favorite over the last few years. The movie is Antman and the Wasp followed by Mamma Mia 2 if you’d like to stay. This year we have reserved a row of parking. Please let us know in advance who will attend this event so we have enough spots so we can all park together. Saturday: Paint Bank "Route 311" Lunch Run (featuring Carol Lee's Donuts) 5pm: Flow MINI of Winston Salem BBQ at MINIs Take Mountain Lake 7pm: Southern "S" posure 9pm: MINIs & Marshmallows Sunday: 11:00 AM EDT Last Run to The Palisades (Rally & Brunch) The Palisades Restaurant Eggleston, VA More Details: MTML Facebook Oh, back to my original topic .. if you are attending and want to caravan, I'm planning to leave Frederick MD around 9am .. send a PM to co-ordinate! Looking forward to this being some MINI withdrawal relief after MTTS ..

I RSVP'd and will plan to join up. However, I'm thinking I'll skip Dinosaur Land and just meet you in the parking lot there around 10:30 when you're ready to leave!

Other commitment, Saturday, darn it! Have fun, hopefully see y'all soon!

WINIFiED is on a truck with 8 of her MINI cousins on her way to Portland, due in Sunday night. I am still interested in anyone who is going to do the express run back to the mid-Atlantic leaving out of Keystone on Sunday after the farewell breakfast. I know alot of people have more leave time than I do ? .. I do here there are 3000 MINIs that will be in Portland on the 14th and have heard 6000 at Keystone, but I'm not sure if that is MINIs or people .. so psyched!!

Just as an FYI, we need 2 MINIs on the transport truck out of Atlanta to Portland to qualify for the $750/MINI price. If anyone is thinking of doing the west route and driving to the start point, unless you've got a lot of fun stuff planned along the way, consider shipping your MINI. It will spare many miles on the odo and the wear and tear *before* the event. Please post ASAP if you need additional information as the MINIs need to be in Atlanta on or before July 1. They will be shipped to MINI of Portland to have good eyes on them until we arrive. Feel free to send PM for any additional questions!

Have a family member interested in joining -- the family. Since the budget is dictating a used MINI, it would be great to find one that has a known history (read: club member) that would fit the bill. Only "must have" specs -- automatic (yea, go ahead and groan) -- looking at 2015 model year, but if it's close, send the details. Preference is 4 door, but if you've got a 2 door and you're moving out of the country next week so have a fire-sale price on it, it might be of interest. Send details and photos and I'll forward. I'll mark the post CLOSED when a MINI has joined the stable. It will happen, just a matter of the right deal .. MINI has been purchased .. but Stephens got a great Countryman / R60 for sale at this time if anyone is interested, PM him!

Still working on the logistics of getting my MINI to Portland, but since I have some non-refundable hotels on the West route, guess that means I'm committed. Regardless of which direction you are heading "from" we'll all be going back to the same general east destination. On MTTS 2016 I split from the group in Cheyenne, headed south and spent a couple of days in CO with family, friends, and other MINI people and then made it back to MD in 2 days. Yes, two. Started early each day and since it says light til late I wasn't ready to stop driving til about 9-10pm that first night. All that to say that if anyone has interest in the speed run back east from Keystone (leaving out right after breakfast and the AM "good bye") let me know. We had a caravan of 3 on the return in 2016 and it would be great to have a couple of others this year, too .. (Tiger's Mom, obviously not you since you're going by way of Amarillo .. and yes, that is definitely cool that your Mom is joining up!!!)
