Ok, finally got on a computer here so I will post my impressions of the route from the bomber run. Maybe Josh can chime in as well with anything I miss.
-Noticed a few speed traps, I will try to have it noted on the packets
-This route is primarily long sweeping curves, would be great for some high speed fun if the conditions allow it. There isn't really anything for tight and technical turns.
-Be prepared to encounter snow!! There are a handful of spots where drifts across the road are very possible even with the warm weather today and tomorrow.
-Salt/Sand: These roads were being salted and sanded yesterday on the bomber run, drive accordingly, and keep the shiny side up!
-DRIVE TO THE CONDITIONS! I cannot stress this enough, we all know there has been inclimate weather in the last few days, if a section of road is not ideal drive accordingly!
-E85 stops: There is ONE e85 pump at each of our fuel stops, room for 2 cars at a time to fuel up on e85. Both stations have plenty of parking, and are good sized stations with plenty of room for our huge group.
-At the second fuel stop in Mankato, there is a Erb's and Gerb's is you wanted to grab a sandwich for after the bars. I will be getting one for sure. :)
-There are both a bar and a liquor store within walking distance from the hotel.
-When we go to the brewery, we need to consolidate vehicles. Pack it in, get multiple people in each car, there is not much for parking space at the brewery.
-The road into the brewery is extremely narrow, there is no need to drive like a jackass here, take it slow.
