EIM continued its tradition of embarking on a multi-day MINI motoring adventure during the month of May, with this year’s destination being the scenic peninsula of northeast Wisconsin for our first ever EIM Expedition to Door County from 9-12 May.

Our time in Door County turned out to be a continuous series of new discoveries, fun times with our fellow Iowa MINI mates, and of course the great motoring roads in the area. A little bit of rain at the start of our journey on Thursday morning (and the rain and *snow* on Saturday morning!) passed quickly and did little to dampen the spirits of our group. We enjoyed “The Best Breakfast in America” at the White Gull Inn, dodging wild turkeys on the back road twisties, the Cana Island Lighthouse, the Lake Michigan surf against the cliffs at Cave Point County Park, County Roads T, Q, B, and the awesome North Point Ferry Road pictured above (all roads that must not be missed if visiting in a MINI!), searching for — and finally finding — the actual 45N latitude geographic marker, serious antique shopping, more great restaurants, celebrating Daryl H.‘s 100K odometer milestone, Cindy D.‘s nautical captainship, more gift shopping, watching the sun setting in a cloudless blue sky over Green Bay, visiting Anderson Dock in Ephraim, hanging out with our fantastic group of MINI friends back at the Scandinavian Lodge each evening…and the list goes on and on. Great times and great memories.

Many thanks to Daryl H. and Linda and Tom R. for heading up the planning for our trip and for choreographing all of the lodging arrangements. Much appreciated!
