| This year's Fall Cruise went off with out a single hitch. (I did have a hot-start problem at the gas station next door to Little Oscar's, but "technically" the Cruise hadn't started yet, so that doesn't count) Everyone hit their scheduled "hook up" points on time, and it was a great day. Derek & Steve were on the point ('cause there's NO WAY anyone else could've figured out the route), and I'll give Derek credit - I KNOW he was just itching to put the hammer down through some of those curves!... but he had restraint and didn't leave us in the dust. It spittle'd rain a few times, just enough to be an annoyance and smear up the windshield, but not much more. Our MNDNR officers at the Whitewater State Park are easily bribed.... we got off parking for awhile on our way through without a permit in exchange for a "look-see" at the fleet. Stumpy's Bar in Rushford makes a mean burger, but they do need to get their TV priorities straight when a bunch of gearheads show up.... The local Winery in Lanesboro was open, and we took full advantage of our .25oz "only 3 per customer please" freebie tastes. They make some good stuff there, and we brought home a few bottles. We then said our goodbye's, and us northerner's hopped over to 52 and made our way through Rochester and back home. |
