Wisconsin Fall Color Drive
October 7 @ 10:00 am
Join Dawsons and Lausers for a Fall Color Drive on some of their favorite Pierce County rustic roads and bucolic byways. We’ll await your arrival in Prescott at Freedom Park, which overlooks the Mississippi River. It is approximately one-half mile south on Highway 35 as you cross the river bridge and turn right at the first stoplight in Prescott, then one block east as you crest the top of the hill leading south out of town (just look for the sign to the park). The adventure begins at 10 a.m. Be there by then or be left behind.
For the convenience of those west of the Mississippi, we’ll wrap up the drive with lunch at The Smokin’ Oak Restaurant on the north end of Red Wing. It’s on U.S. 61 for an easy return to the Twin Cities area through Hastings to I-494. If you want more rustic road adventure after lunch, we’ll drive them back to Hastings.
To be sure the restaurant knows how much to thin the soup for our group, RSVP to Lausers by noon October 5 at glauser@centurylink.net or by phoning 715.262.9813. We look forward to seeing you and sharing whatever colors can be found that weekend.
