MINI Takes The States is over for another year! What a great finish to a great event. Even though the run from Yakima to Seattle was the shortest, it was one of my all-time favorites. The roads, the scenery, the MINIs, all were amazing. 

Thanks to every single person from MINI and their support staff, that helped make the event so memorable. And another big thanks to all of the participants, from those that have done them all, to those who were MTTS newbies. This event is all for, and about, YOU. I hope everyone has a safe trip back home. Whether you’re going straight back like we are, or going on to further adventures, I wish nothing but good weather, light traffic, and lots of fun.
