Fall Color Tour
Saturday, October 17, 2026, 08:00am
Hits : 115

When: (Driver's/passenger's choice) Saturday, October 10th or Saturday, October 17th at 8:00am

Drivers meeting around 8:20am

 

Where: 300 S Randall Rd, Elgin, IL 60123

Target parking lot near the KFC.

 

What to expect:

• Roughly 3.5 hours of driving with stops in between

• 15–20-minute stretch breaks or potty breaks

• Roundabouts

• Curvy roads

• Farmland (in Illinois, shocking! I know)

• Familiar roads from recent president's tours (with some changes)

• Lunch break around 11:30am (more on that below)

• Maybe cows or horses

• A few railroad crossings (feel free to count them)

• Miatas

• And of course (hopefully) Fall Colors

 

We will have 3 segments before stopping at Niko's Red Mill Tavern in Woodstock

1040 Lake Ave, Woodstock, IL 60098

Here is their website for the menu.

After lunch (about an hour), once everyone has checks settled and ready to continue, we will have 1 more segment ending at Hickory Grove Highlands Conservation Area in Cary, IL

 

I am limiting the cars to 15 to keep the group small and as not to overwhelm restaurant staff. However, there might be room to squeeze in another car or 2 should there be several driver-only miatas. 

 

Again, like the President's Tour, this is only open to members. So, become a member and enjoy the last official drive of the season with us!

Let me know which date you prefer and how many in the car (driver only or driver and passenger).

 

I look forward to seeing you all.

Your host, and VP,
