I used to ride my three wheeler on the trails in the Allegheny National Forest near Tionesta.

I made a couple of trips to Galeton with my band back in the mid 80's.

I live in Huntingdon, central part of the state near Raystown Lake. Love these mountain roads here. We also have great fishing and kayaking.

I used to work in the KoP area also, now currently unemployed.

Great to see some locals on the board. Just drop me a line if you want.

Sure thing, I wave to every MINI I see. Although I haven't been on the road much due to my circumstances.

I am from Hershey (formerly the Pgh area).

Do you belong to one of the Meetups? The one I belong to that is the Carlisle Meetup is very active as is the one in Pgh. Maybe someone could give info of what would be available in your area, but the trips and activities in Central PA through the Carlisle Meetup may be of interest to you.

I am from between Allentown and Reading. I can go days without seeing another Mini. I do know of 2 or 3 in the area. I tried the waving thing, because I also have a corvette and motorcycle and thats what we do, I never had anyone wave back.

We belong to the PHILLY MINI group. I was looking into Carlisle when we first brought our MINI home, but a little too far for us.

Hello all! I haven't been waving yet, since I don't pick up my clubman til Saturday. Then I will be waving my fool head off.
I live in Drexel Hill. Am planning on joining and attending some of the Phillymini events.
I have clients in the MainLine area and I see lots of MINI's there.

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone, My wife and I both have Mini's and live in Perkasie. So if you see a Pepper White or a Hyper Blue be sure to wave! We always do!
Was just down at Otto's both last week and this week for some minor issues. Love the back roads down there!

Hey dogdal24, I saw a Hyper Blue months ago in Sellersville, my eye doctor is over there and I was admiring a MINI - stood beside it for what must have been about 20 minutes hoping someone was come out and see me "stalking" their MINI. Maybe you?

Oops, sorry Jo! Momentarily confused you with Erin (suprcoopr). Not sure whether she waved since it was dark, but I flashed my headlights (and she recognized me cuz thanks to the Christmas lights strung inside my car )

Hey Jason and Jo! It's me Erin!(aka Suprcoopr).

I agree, Carlisle is a bit far......But I thought it was worth the trip for all the vendors with random stuff. I got Mini earrings, and I also got the Union Jack badges I have below my sidemarkers.

Hello gemgirl, very possible it was me. I have not seen any Hyper Blue's around here and I'm always looking for any MINI's, so much so my kids thing I'm obsessed! Nice convertible you got there! How do you like it?
