Planes, Trains and Automobiles (MINIs/Minis): A Poker Run

Post by ragtopday Johnna »

Planes, Trains and Automobiles: A Poker Run for MINIs and Minis

When: Saturday, October 29th, 2016, 7:30 a.m. meet up, 8:00 a.m. departure. Drive concludes by 10:30ish, 60 total miles.

Where: Starting point at 101 West 22nd Street, KC MO 64108. This is the surface parking area of the Freight House District behind Lidia's, Jack Stack and Grunaeur. Grab a coffee/restroom break somewhere nearby before arriving as nothing will be open yet.

At 8 a.m., No. 844, the last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific, is departing from the Northwest corner of the rail yard at Union Station. We should have a good view of it leaving and then we will depart for a drive that includes three scenic stops. If the train is a bit late leaving, we can wait a few minutes. (More on the No. 844 here: https://www.up.com/aboutup/special_trai ... /844.shtml)

If you are interested in making this a poker run, it will be $2 per hand. (You are welcome to play more than one hand.) All proceeds to Harvesters and KC Pet Project with a prize to the top three hands. We have a few goodies remaining from our Coopers and Coffee sponsors for prizes, nothing big (no folding bicycles), just fun stuff. You are welcome to come along on the drive if you don't want to make it a poker run, too. It will be a fun morning with Miniacs, poker or not.

RSVP with number of Miniacs and MINIs/Minis please.

I tagged along to finalize the route yesterday and took a few photos. What a pretty drive! Nice to have all of this fall color so late in the month.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in the morning. If you have two-way radios, bring them. Thanks!

What a great drive today! Here are a few pics from our stops at Hangar 6a, Weston Bend State Park, the Weston train depot and Sonic. There's a video on the club Facebook page of Union Pacific 844 leaving Union Station from our meet up spot for those interested. Quite a sight and lots of people up early to see it go.
