About this event
Mississippi River Meander - Saturday, June 13, 2020 - 10:00 a.m.
Plans are still underway to kick off the 2020 Road Trip Series this month. Since road trips naturally involve social distancing in our own cars, we will carefully launch the season and fully comply with state COVID guidelines. Group size will be limited and 6-foot social distancing rules apply. To help protect your fellow club members, be sure to bring along your mask.
On June 13, we’ll celebrate the start of the season with the Mississippi River Meander, a trip down the Mississippi River to Winona. Originally we planned to visit the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and dine at a local downtown restaurant. Due to COVID restrictions, the museum is currently closed and indoor dining at the restaurant is a challenge. In response we've changed up the plans and we will now dine at the Lakeview Drive In (lakeviewdriveinn.com). This historic outdoor dining venue has been in operation since 1938 and is a Winona institution. The drive-in is located next to a large city park which will allow everyone ample space to social distance. Bring a lawn chair or blanket if you wish.
Departs from the Cottage Grove Kohl's at 10:00 a.m. The address is 7990 Hardwood Avenue South. Please plan to arrive on time with a full tank of gas. We'll have a round of introductions, review the route and hit the road.
