Wisconsin Overnighter info
Here are some more new details for our Wisconsin overnight drive to New Glaris.Check out this post and this post for earlier information..
WRAPUP: 19 MINIs met up at the Beloit rest stop on a cold and drizzly morning. The weather alternated from sunny to cloudy to rainy, but the roads were 100% fantastic the whole time. Lots of twists and turns, ups and downs and very little traffic. We pulled into Monroe and filled up the top level of the parking garage, and then proceeded to enjoy the Chili festival and other area attractions. After lunch and picking up a few more MINIs, we headed off to more twisty back roads. A fun attraction on this portion was a herd of cows galloping around the field, excited to see a herd of MINIs zipping past. Our end of the day stop was a tour of New Glarus Brewery. The following morning we said goodbye to a few people spending the day in the area, and welcomed a few new MINIs along for the drive. After a fun and twisty drive to Mount Horeb, we enjoyed another town festival for a while, and off for the final leg to Monroe and a stop at a cheese factory.
