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.
