Fall Color Tour
October 12, 2003
Mike Olsen,
Tourmaster
The fall tour will start at the I-90 Belvedere Oasis (west bound). From there it will be going to bypass 20 then south on Route 2 along the rock river. We will be driving through some state parks also. There will be country roads involved with a rest stop across the river from the Blackhawk statue.
No fee - No points - No trophies - Just fun fall driving.
