    Totally agree there are some great driving roads in that area. Pig trail and 23 through Eureka Springs are not to be missed.

    Also, there's good BBQ to be had! :drool

    I'll be there. I got tired of hearing how great it was and I wanna see for myself. Besides, lots of MINIs and great roads. How could it be any better?

    I am thinking this one might be on my list this year, we shall see.

    Or I may go down to the Dragon and hang out at Tapoco Lodge with my wife, peeks at some colors.

    Either would be excellent in my mind. :)

    The colors have been good for MITO but on the end of the peak of colors, which help keep traffic down. Downtown Eureka Springs is a fav with most of the Ladies at the event and MITO gets FREE parking downtown too. Then there's the Sat night custume party

    Is there a theme for the costume party this year and at the last few?

    Only people or do people include their MINIs?

    no theme for the party just keep it PG-13 since there are some kids there. You could be the 1st to make your MINI part of your theme.

    AR 123 is one of the best roads in that area.

    I can't believe this thing has been going on less than two hours from us all this time and I never heard about it until we went to MOTD. That little error will be corrected this fall. :D

    I am forgoing SEMA this year to attend MITO, I am sure it will be cheaper on the wallet than four nights in Vegas. Registered and booked room last night.

    About 18+ hours from eastern Virginia for us. Heard good things about MITO. Plan on making it an extended weekend. We'll be out there by Thursday hopefully.
