Our first opportunity to join the members of CMI on a fall run found us in Stillwater, Minnesota aboard the Avalon paddleboat on the St. Croix river. Food, live music, a great sunset, and lots of Corvair talk were the order of the evening. Captions are a bit skimpy as I'm real bad at remembering names, but a good time was had by all.

We knew we were in the right place when we started to spot Corvairs in downtown Stillwater parking lots

OK..a GONDOLA on the St. Croix? Notice how your skilled photographer also captured an air cooled vehicle in the background!	Scene on the top deck of the Avalon	Mom nature provided us with a wonderful sunset
