Break Point:

Coon Lake County Park
- This park has 2 nice big parking area and bathrooms and a separate boat landing with another big lot.


Route Time - Distance:

1.5 hours - 38 miles



Notes:
Lexington Avenue is pretty straight but is a decent drive. it also has 2 lanes to help the cars to keep grouped up. The 2nd leg of the trip is all back roads with very little traffic. Crossing 65 is a bit of chore for a big group but is easy to regroup on the east side of it.

Can that be used over more than one visit? Athough contrary to popular belief I cannot eat $30 worth of food/drink in a setting.

To the car cruisers:

D9 will arrive early to secure spots for us. For those that don't know this Green Mill is connected to a Hotel. Lots of parking :) We wont have to worry about parking or parking next to cars.

The reservations are under "MN FORD CLUB" if you manage to arrive earier (thats the name).

Maps and the routes will be handed out during/after lunch (incase someone needs to stop or gets seperated).

Reservations have also been placed up at Bills for anyone interested sticking around for a bit afterwards.

Anymore question or comments please contact me directly jason@mnfords.com
I am happy to hear how excited people are. That makes this very rewarding.

Looks like rain on Saturday :( I just got my car all cleaned up... washed/waxed, vacuumed & detailed the interior... I even took my wheels off and detailed the wheel wheels, wheel barrels, suspension components, and exhaust... lame-o

LadyCobra

HELLFYR is running and ready to go. Not getting cleaned by Saturday and if it's raining hard, we'll be in one of the Escapes. Too squirrelly on the road in heavy rain.
