Three-Day Fall Adventure to Southwest Wisconsin

Friday, September 15th thru Sunday, September 17

Southwest Wisconsin is known for some spectacular back roads and our fall trip is headed that direction! Come join your BMW friends on an enjoyable ride featuring great attractions, beautiful scenery, delicious food and, of course, fabulous roads. The trip is limited to 8 couples, so don't delay in signing up.

Here's what we plan to see along the way. We will depart from Apple Valley, MN on Friday, September 15 at 9:00 a.m. Headed southeast along the Mississippi River, we'll cross into Wisconsin at Winona and will make sure to traverse the legendary and always entertaining Mindoro Cut northeast of LaCrosse. We all know our BMWs prefer twisty two-lanes, so we plan to avoid freeways and interstates where possible. Our lodging on Friday night will be at the Hillsboro Hotel in Hillsboro, WI (www.hotelhillsboro.com). Depending on the group's preference, we'll dine in Hillsboro or the neighboring town of Wonewoc.

Saturday we will head south on back roads through Spring Green, WI (home of Frank Lloyd Wright) en route to New Glarus, WI (home of the New Glarus Brewery and Spotted Cow Beer - www.newglarusbrewing.com). The brewery happens to be closed on weekends (go figure), but we'll enjoy the town and it's many attractions. Our hotel that night will be in nearby Mt. Horeb, WI, the self-proclaimed "Troll Capital of the World". (www.grandstaymounthoreb.com).

Sunday morning we'll start the trip back to Minnesota hitting a few interesting sites along the way.
