2nd Annual MINI Pumpkin Patch Rallye

Saturday, October 20th @ 9:30am

 

(photo provided by Wendy Hughes-Jelen "GRNSTRK")

Come join us for coffee at the Safeway Starbucks in Graham at 9:30am. Address: 10105 224th Street E. We'll DEPART at 10:00am and continue on for a fun drive near Alder Lake, Eatonville, the Ohop Valley, and down into Orting for lunch at 1pm. After lunch we'll head to Spooner Farms' pumpkin patch in Puyallup.http://www.spoonerberries.com/harvest-festival/ 

I've made 1pm reservations for 35 people for lunch at the Los Pinos Mexican Restaurant in downtown Orting. Cash or credit is fine. Separate tabs have been okayed by the manager. Please let me know how many are in your MINI so I can have an accurate headcount for lunch. (228 Washington Avenue South, Orting, WA 98360, 360-893-2333)


I realize there may be those who may not like Mexican food. There are other eatery choices within a block or two of where we're stopping for lunch, so I would not be offended if you'd rather make a dash to Route 66 Pizza, McDonalds, Subway, etc. We will re-group at 2pm and continue on to the Spooner Farms pumpkin patch which is about a 10-minute drive away. Address: 9622 State Route 162 East, Puyallup, WA 98374

 
I will bring printouts of the driving route as well as turn-by-turn directions with mileage. If you have them, please remember to bring your walkie talkie radios. I have a couple I'd be happy to loan if needed. We will be on the national MINI talk channel: 7-21  *Estimated drive time and mileage: 1 hr. 50 mins. and 62 miles (includes one "pit stop")
 

Steve and I are pondering a fun trivia game based on the route. This short questionnaire will be administered at lunch time, so be sure to eat your Wheaties. Wink I'll be putting together a little "prize" to the MINI motorer that answers the most questions correctly.


See you Saturday for some MINI Motoring fun!

Brenda

Here’s a link and a map of the route I have planned. It may change slightly near La Grande due to a road closure. I’m hoping that part of Hwy 7 will be open by the 20th.

AWSOME Brenda and Steve - THANK YOU for jumping in and doing this.  We'll be there for sure.
 
Steph   - a caravan sounds like a great idea.  Do you know of a Northgate area meeting place that  has easy access to southbound I-5 - and coffee?

How about meeting in the Northgate Mall parking lot in front of Panera/Barnes & Noble.  That's on the I-5 side of the mall so it's easy to hop off and on the freeway there.  B&N isn't open that early but Panera is and has coffee/breakfast goodies.

Lee and I are going to make this.  Thanks for setting it up!

As a side thought, is there any "Punkin Chunkin" in the Puget Sound area???

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

We're in and will join the Northgate caravan.  Does anyone know whether dogs are allowed at the pumpkin farm?  Jim & Barb

That sounds great!  Count us 3 three in.  Let us know if you need any additional info.  That's 2 adults, 1 child, and 1 Mini!
Just rescued from the pound. Ours is a 2004 R53, Chili Red, mostly stock but slowly working on customizing our newest addition.

J:  I knew someone just had to be doing that around here!  Looks like it is in Sept.

Gee, a trebuchet tossing a MINI full of Pumpkins????  A Top Gear MINI Moment it would be.

Thanks for the link!

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Corn gun = spud gun??

What I was thinking is that it might be fun to have a Pumpkin Rallye that incorporated a visit to a Punkin Chunkin event, like maybe next year?

I think a departure from Northgate Mall @ 8:30 would be appropriate. The trip down to Graham is a tad over an hour so that gives us about 20-25 minutes to use the potty and grab another cup of coffee before the actual Rallye starts.

As for the route, I was thinking I-5 to 167 and down. http://goo.gl/maps/fiadQ
