My Dear Driving Friends,

As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Translation: It's time to go driving again!

Please join us for 185 miles of the BEST driving roads in the country.

The 2008 HORSEPOWER HARVEST TOUR

For an idea of the fantastic roads we'll be driving, check out this video that my friend Jeff made on a tour last year:

Two meeting options:

1. 8:00am at Rainbow Foods, 7282 S. East Point Douglas Rd in Cottage Grove, MN. Take Hwys 10 & 61 southeast past 494, exit on 80th Street and turn left, over the highway then right onto East Point Douglas Road. Rainbow will be on your left. The group will leave at 8:10am.

2. 9:15am at Bogus Creek Café and Bakery, N2049 Spring Street, Stockholm, WI. From the southeast corner of 494, it’s a scenic 60-minute drive to Stockholm. Take Hwys 10 and 61 south and east out of the Twin Cities. Turn left to stay on 10 East, heading toward Prescott. Cross over the drawbridge in Prescott and turn right onto Wisconsin Hwy 35 South. Pass through Diamond Bluff, cross Hwy 63, go through Bay City and Maiden Rock. In beautiful downtown Stockholm, turn left onto County J. Bogus Creek is one block up on your left. We will be having a fabulous breakfast at Bogus Creek, served by the lovely and talented proprietor, Colleen. The tour will leave Stockholm at approximately 10:15am after the drivers meeting.

After 185 miles of the coolest curves and hills and a few comfort stops, the tour will end at about 2:30pm with a late lunch served by the always charming Guy and Nancy at Hansen’s Hold-Up Bar and Grill (Mapquest: S2428 State Hwy 95, Arcadia, WI) about 12 miles north of Fountain City, WI.

Breakfast and lunch are pay-your-own. Bring CASH because they don’t always accept credit cards. There is no charge for the tour itself. We will have three groups: “Spirited” will start first, followed by "Intermediate" and then "Mellow". Everyone should pick a group where they can drive at a comfortable and safe pace for the tour.

Please bring your own FRS/GMRS walkie-talkie. You can buy good inexpensive radios at Wal-Mart, Menards, Best Buy, Costco, Gander Mountain, etc. Look for at least “18 mile” or “20 mile” on the package. Loaner radios will NOT be available for this tour.
