It turned out to be a beautiful drive with LOTSACURVIN '(in contrast the pouring rain this ride had to deal with last year). After several of the members enjoyed dinner on Friday night at Fazy's, the next morning all 11 cars gathered in Woodmen's Parking lot on Saturday morning tops down and raring to go on the curves. It was 68 degrees of cool with a bright sunny blue sky as we ventured on our way to drive the great many curves through the Coulee region of La Crosse, Trempealeau, and Buffalo Counties. On the first leg as we zoomed around the curves, we saw a turkey in the weeds, road kill, deer, 3 howling wolves carved into a six foot tall tree stump, a chicken in the front yard big enough to feed at least 50 people (just a statue), and Big Foot heading into the trees. We took a quick break at Kwik Trip. Next, we traversed to Fountain City where we had lunch at The Monarch Public House. We had a choice of Irish stew, roast beef sandwich, or hamburger. Then we headed toward the winery, however, it was so busy with a lot of people and a live band, that we didn't go in to visit. From the winery, we continued our curvy journey where we stopped for a pit stop and then decided we were running so late, that we just took a short cut to the Fox Hollow Golf Course for dinner. All in all, it was a gloriously beautiful day to be riding around in our Miatas! Oh, we can't forget the 5 u-turns we had to do on this tour. Some of the members were counting them and asked if that was a record. Henry told them it was for him and he was proud of it! (though 2 were not his fault: someone changed the direction of a sign; and the other one, the road was torn up for repaving and we didn't want to drive our Miatas on that!) We all had a great time visiting with our Miata friends and driving the curvy roads.
