Directions: Take 61 south off of 494 in Newport or 94 in East St.Paul. You will hit a hill with a great view of the Mississippi river and see a large bridge. As soon as you cross the bridge take your first right. You will curl around to a stop sign on the side of the bridge. Take a right and you will be downtown. Take a left at the first stop sign and the legion is at the end of the road right on the river.

After our trip to Canada, my wife and I will be in Hastings too. I may be out of touch with everyone for a while - don't know how the internet access will be - but I'll catch up with everyone on Friday the 17th when we get back into town. I'll see you all on the 19th in Hastings, around 1pm. I'll just look for all the other Crossfires!

My wife and I are planning to be there. I might that some extra time and skip the freeway and try St. Cloud to North Branch and follow the river to Hastings

I think I can make it too! I'm suprised no-one brought up a cruise to redwing.

cool SRT-6. I think that makes 5 or 6 of us so far. Plan I guess is to meet then at the legion on the 19th at 1 on Sunday then take a stop at a winery somewhere. I actually did think of Red Wing first, which is a city my wife and I really like to go to. Fun place, maybe we can do one of those runs in the fall. Stillwater would be good too, as would along the St. Croix. Nancy's Landing in Waconia is nice too. Mark

My wife and I are up in Rossport Ontario, on the North Shore of Lake Superior right now. The Crossfire has run flawlessly - 28 miles per gallon. We'll be back on Friday, and we'll see you all at 1pm on Sunday the 19th in Hastings!

My wife and I just left Thunder Bay Ontario and are in Grand Marais. We'll also be back Friday but we're travelling in an RV, not our Crossfire. Again, looking forward to meeting everyone in Hastings Sunday.

Hi Bruce, If you're still in Grand Marais, we just got here - my wife and I are in the only black Crossfire in town! We'll see you on Sunday for sure in the busy town of Hastings.

I saw you driving out of a gas station or side street around 11:30. We were going the opposite direction in a green Expedition. I commented to my wife wondering if that's the couple on the forum travelling up here as it's the first Crossfire I've seen since leaving home. I have a black crossfire as well. Small world! See you Sunday.

Bruce

I'll be at the legion on Sunday. I'm probably the youngest one here.

River Town Days is pretty small. Plus you won't really run into much traffic. It's down the river about 1/4 mile. If you take a left at the stop light instead of a right at the bottom of the bridge you won't see any traffic.

Worked the CarCraft show. Didn't see anything Crossfires drive through today except for mine. Way too many Corvettes and Mustangs.

My wife and I will see you all at Hastings tomorrow at the Legion at 1 pm. I washed up the Batmobile today after our 1000 mile trip to Canada and back. By the way, the last fill was 30 MPG! What other high performance sports car can do that!
