Hi MINIacs,

We're going to have two outings in July.

First, on Thursday, July 19, we'll meet at 9:15 AM at Lowe's, 1900 Poinsett Highway in Greenville (near Cherrydale) to go to the Carl Sandburg Home in Flat Rock to listen to the Rootabaga Stories performed by apprentices from the Flat Rock Playhouse, the State Theater of North Carolina. After the performance, we'll have a picnic lunch followed by a drive in the mountains.

Carl Sandburg wrote The Rootabaga Stories as fairy-tales for American kids so this is something that both kids and kids-at-heart will enjoy. Please let me know by Wednesday, July18 if you plan to come.

The second event will be on Saturday, July 28. More information will be coming soon.

Let's motor!

Carol can't make the Carl Sandburg run but will definetly try to make the July 28th run, I love that German Food in Hendersonville.

 

Hmmm...maybe I should play hookie from work and come down? Anybody else interested? Mischief is always easier with an accomplice...

 

If any of you haven't been to the Carl Sandburg home its worth the trip. Even if you know nothing about the man and his wife and her prize winning Goats and their family history its a treat. With them doing the reading and acting them out it would be well worth it, everybody needs a little culture now and then! Wife will have knee replacement the 20th so just can't make this one. Luke

 

Is it soon yet?

Roll out that info. We gotta have time to make plans

 

Bill and I will be there Thursday.

Betty

 

Looking forward to meeting everyone for the first time.

David and daughter: Katarina

 

Hey guys, I'll be puttering down there bright and early Thursday and may be the only North Kakalaki guy coming. (Any NC types going, let me know and we'll caravan?)

Anyway, MINICHI and I will meet you at Lowe's, I'll be on channel 7 if you have an FRS and I'll send my cel to Carol in an email now.

Looking forward to this, even if it is four hours round trip! ;-)

 

I'm going to do a test run of the drive for the 28th this weekend. I'll post when we need to gather once I know how long the drive is.

Dinner will be at 6:00 PM at Haus Heidelberg in Hendersonville.

Hey all, had a great time and sorry we lost Bill/Betty and Carol right before the ice cream and toy store adventures! I guess we really do need to use radios/exchange cell numbers next time?

Here are a few pics

 

MR2 DUX, and yes, that's a talking, winking moose!

Did I mention the snake, and the carp?








A little slow going home due to construction!

 

What a great drive it was .
Thanks Dave for posting the pictures. I don't think anyone will ever believe that we actually saw a talking moose .



Sorry to hear that you ran into traffic on the way back to Charlotte.

 

Carol I will not be able to come to the Saturday event, trying to get something set up in Columbia. Enjoy the food there, its great. Luke

 

Any more info?

 

Yep, dinner at Haus Heidelberg in Hendersonville is still on for this Saturday at 6:00 PM. If anyone wants to take the twisty route to Hendersonville meet at Pleasant Ridge County Park around 4:30 to motor up US 276 and the back roads near Flat Rock to Hendersonville. Some of us may rendevous with the Columbia MINIs around Landrum if they want to take US 176 up the Saluda grade. I'll post the rendevous place and time tomorrow (Friday) after I confirm it.

Please let me know if you're planning to attend and whether or not you'll be motoring us with the group.

Let's motor!

Carol

Thanks for the pictures. My wife, Sheroyn, my car, TILLEY, and I had a really great time. Nice people; good eats; great motoring; lots of twisties. I've signed up for the fall Dragon. Can't wait to have another outing. I've "carded" several MINI's in Irmo; two sound like they'll join it.

Again, appreciate everything; had a great time.
