Combatting the wind, the Milwaukee Minis set out across the twisty roads of Southern Wisconsin to find fall color. We met up at Cooper Park and wound our way to the Pewaukee Starbucks for early morning pick-me ups and tummy warmers. Through the countryside we motored up and down the hills to see the glorious fall leaves. Our next stop took us to a subdivision clubhouse where treats and drinks were shared. Thanks for the treats everyone!
Our final leg took us through the Lake Country area past beautiful lakes. When we got to downtown Oconomowoc, my home town, we were suddenly stopped in our motoring tracks by a stationary train! Unfortunately, no one followed me on my train avoidance route (which is critical to have in Oconomowoc!) Jenny and I ended up at the final destination first. Luckily, the rest of the crew showed up at Burke’s Lakeside Restaurant soon after and we had a wonderful meal. I didn’t win the poker hand, but I did end up with all the cards! View photos…

And then we realized we took a wrong turn and left the rest of the MINIs in front of us to go find the right turn. See you later!

Downtown Oconomowoc. This is about where I left the group because of a train and then headed to the restaurant.
