MAMA III
Back home from MAMA 3 (see this MINI2 thread) - lots of MINIs and loads of water!

There were a few route changes due to the floods, and one U-turn:

This is why:

There was heavy rain during my drive up to Keene, and also during some of the drive today - but none of this spoiled the fun we all had!

Our lunch stop was at Cathedral Of The Pines which happily offered a tent & dry benches
On the return journey we stopped in Harrisville - we would have enjoyed a tour of the ex-mill town, if the weather had been more friendly. Instead we were in awe of the water again:

Sadly there was very little fall foliage - this was the best I saw:

A great day: seeing loads of MINI friends and meeting some new ones, enjoying some great twisty roads and not drowning are all good. Thanks Annette for the brownies too
Of course, loads more pics in the Gallery

Wow some spectacular weather! We SoCal folk are getting some pretty bazare stuff also. We just had, up here in Altadena, a hail storm for about 3 minutes. They were the size if a dime. I also heard that some folk out east of me got a small twister and lost some roof tiles.
