Exclamation G/Z Twin Cities to Duluth Summer Cruise (2008)

Hey guys,

I just wanted to gauge if anyone was interested in a Duluth summer cruise? I'm guessing most of you reside in the city so I worked up a route that could work as a grounds for discussion. There's a lot to do in Duluth and the scenic drives are great. I was thinking this trip would be ideal for Mid-June or even July (up for discusion). The weather is always near perfect here in the summer and i have no doubt this trip will be one to remember if we all get together.

Here is my take:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...1,6.723633&z=8

First, you guys at the cities pick a meeting spot to regroup and head on over to Duluth (best if early).

Second, we could do two things:

(A) Once we arrive at Duluth we could have a BBQ on the beach in park point and just chill out -plenty of things to do there.

or

we could check in at a restaurant and eat at either Old chicago, Greenmill, Grandma's etc..

(B) After we eat we can hit up the scenic route that drives along the coast and stop along the way for photo-ops and such. Theres plenty of places to stop and park for pics -but most importantly, its just a fun route if you wanna roll your windows down and coast lake superior.

This is just a rough scheme but i thought i'd throw it out there!

WHEN: JUNE 28 2008

So who's on board?!

Sounds like a fun event. Its a great area up in Duluth. I probably won't be able to make it June though. My wife is expecting sometime during the first part of the month. Great op for pictures. Make sure you guys get some good ones and post them up.

Cmon guys, you'll get to have some fun up north with us.

Also, Alex... If you had to get your car painted, where would you bring it? I need a very good place to bring my car to. I'm finally gonna get my door fixed.

Thanks man. Never heard about them. Only knew about mnsportcompact and the other various mnnissan sites. But some people on mnsportcompact don't belong there... Like people driving 1996 buck lesabres and whatnot.

Don't know when I'm coming down yet.
Find someone with a Z to buy my exhaust and I'll make a trip down

Unfortunately, it'll probably be snowing up there that time of the year....
















That's my anny, so I don't know if I can make it. I'll keep my eye on it, though.
