18 MINIs braved a cool drizzly morning meetup at Montrose harbor.
We took to the streets for a casual blitz up Sheridan road. One MINI almost got in trouble sneaking past a graveyard a little too quickly, but Road Warrior Conrad stepped up and saved the day. The rest of the trip was uneventfull and we spent most of the time gawking at the beautifull homes and early fall views of trees and the lakefront. The weather kept improving the farther along we went. We ended up at a late morning breakfast at the Full Moon Cafe, along with a chance to talk and visit for a while.
What a great way to spend a Sunday morning!!!

Join us for a morning of fun and a chance to view some cool architecture in Oak Park/River Forest area..
What: Scavenger hunt
Where: Pleasant Home Foundation (PHF), 217 S. Home Ave. Oak Park
When: Saturday October 14th 9:00 am
In conjunction with the Pleasant Home Foundation’s Beautiful Bungalows tour, CMMC will be having an architecture scavenger hunt.
We will meet up at 9:00 am on October 14th at the Pleasant Home with priority parking in the driveway off Pleasant Street.
A scavenger hunt card will be handed out to all drivers and navigators showing pictures of five famous houses in a bounded area in Oak Park.
The object is to find the houses based on the photos and write down the addresses, and return your completed card to the Pleasant Home within a specified time.
For all the MINIs that get all five houses correct, we will have a drawing for some fabulous prizes from Patrick MINI. Coffee and doughnuts generously provided by PHF.
If you are interested in taking the official tour afterwards, club members will receive a five dollar discount on the Bungalow Tour (be sure to put your member number on the application).
Here are a couple of events comming up in October.
We will have more details soon, but you can save the dates now for some fun!!
October 14th: Bungalow tour, Oak Park/River Forest
