MTTS 2014 Route
Yeah! We will start the planning early next year to get us all down to San Fran together for the start. This is the biggest MINI party you can get in the US. |

I'll get busy sending MINI USA Maps of Google links as to the location of Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Tacoma, WA and Vancouver, BC. It's clear that they are confused as to where these cities are located...

Honestly they did try. I don't know how hard they tried but they did try. They had 3 main areas of complaint... Florida, Texas, and the Puget Sound. Looks like Texas is well covered this time. Maybe we'll get ours in 2016?
I do plan on organizing a run to San Fran. Let's show some strength and show'em how it's done! The Alaska MINI Club will be joining us as well. We can explain their mistake in-person. I can't wait. |

we might be up for the legs from San Fran to Austin...or at least Albuquerque since our son Brian lives there now. Good excuse to visit and Austin has to mean one thing COTA!

after some more thought we might even try to do this coast to coast. It's been awhile since we have done an epic family road trip and now with the extra room in the Countryman we might go all the way. Only way we could do it though would be a one way trip and have the car shipped back. I think Ryan had mentioned checking on a group rate haul back if enough people were going all the way. If so...that would be awesome. So how many would go all the way if we had them hauled back? Ryan...any idea what a per/car rate might be on the hauler and number of cars we would need to make it reasonable?

It'd be ~$1000 if you shipped it yourself. I'm working on bringing that down by a couple hundred bucks with a group rate. Have not done much work yet but will get on it in January.

August through Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and the upper Midwest-East would be torture...

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

There was a bit of discussion on how to read the dates for MTTS that I wanted to share with you.
The dates on the map indicate an evening event and the night you are sleeping in that city. So, for example, there is a Reno event late evening on the 27th and you will check-in to the host hotel on the 27th and check-out on the 28th. That means if you plan to make it to Austin the event is on 8/1, check-in 8/1 with check-out 8/2. Hope that helps. That's basically what happened last year but there was some confusion about when events started based on the dates. I have been told that every city has an evening event for those making the journey which would correspond with arriving into that city in-time to make the eventing event on the date on the map. |

I've got the dates blocked out. Coast to coast. Love the idea of a filling a truck for the return. We should organize something special for the trip to San Fran too. Ore coast? Redwoods? Wine country?

I'm planning to do the whole thing too! I've already got the vacation approved and some friends have expressed interest in joining me on various legs of the journey. I'd like to add my car into the "ship it back pool". Gina |

We're planning on going! Taking the Corgis with us, as they love road trips, and I would feel guilty boarding them for that long. :)

We're heading out on the Warm up run, July 23rd,will arrive in San Francisco on the 25th and going through to Albuquerque. Headed back hone via Arizona, where we'll be spending the night at our house there. Anyone heading back after Albuquerque is more than welcome to save the hotel fee and stay with us. We've got four bedrooms and two still available.
