Minnesmarta Summer 2009 Rally

While at the drive in Joe and myself started talking about the next Minnesmarta gathering. Well, since this one was postponed, and it is summer again what do you all say?

What the basic idea is to continue our tradition on visiting a drive in for lunch, and then add on something special. Well what we can do is visit the town of Mahtomedi, MN "A Small Town". It is located NE from Minneapolis.



When you get to Mahtomedi, MN we will visit the 4 season's Drive in, famous for its Root Beer and food since the 1950's. After we eat and relax we will cruise north and see many Historic Buildings from the 1920's and 1930's (Schools, General Stores, and Government Offices)

Our drive will take us up to Taylor's Falls, which is 40 miles north along the St. Croix river. After we arrive there and get some pictures we can head back to wherever is home.

Here is the route:
from:Mahtomedi Ave/MN-244 to:45.224128,-92.763062 to:MN-95/St Croix Trail to:I-694 E - Google Maps

Lets plan this for Saturday, August 1st. Meet for lunch at 12pm.

I wouldn't mind adding to the cruse, maybe drive along the river up to taylors falls or something like that? We could take Hwy 96 to Hwy 95 and head north.

Well when I was talking to Jeff, it sounds like anything locally has been in the south metro... So, I was thinking we should try to move it around the metro area.

And hey, thats like 1.3 gallons to get here!

It's not the gas, or the drive... it's getting the time away from all the projects and the Honey-Do list...

A convoy could be possible...We'll wait and see which date they are going with, and whether we can both attend, then plan accordingly...
