This will be a separate event to drive to the Manx in the Middle, Manx club event scheduled for 9/8-9/11 in the St. Louis area.
I plan on retracing the route we took for the Shuffle to Buffalo trip, driving through Zion NP in Utah, the Million Dollar Hwy in Colorado, and a run up Pikes Peak. This trip will depart from Rancho Cucamonga, CA and take 5 days to arrive in Collinsville, IL. We will cover 2071 miles which is more then enough to earn the "Long Haul Award" plus you will have the opportunity to spend some quality time with some fun people, just ask any body that's done 1 of these distance drives.
I do have some Hotels in mind, but I will need to see if there's enough interest to be able to negotiate any discounts.
Lori Ann & I plan on driving 2 of our buggies, and then from the MITM event we will head West to drive to the Topaz Lake event in Nevada.
Driving through Zion NP
Driving up Pikes Peak.

Relax Joe....
You're close enough that you don't need to copy Mike and Lori Ann by leaving Saturday, unless you were getting there early to look for the primo parking spot!
Early bird and worm thing???
See you all Thursday, buggyless as usual!

A couple more things to button up and we'll be on the road bright and early Saturday. Long range forecast might have some weather in Colorado, getting real excited, see you in MITM.
