Winter road rallies have a unique charm that makes them enjoyable and memorable for participants. Here are the elements that contribute to the fun:

1. Challenging Conditions

Snow and Ice Driving: Navigating snowy or icy roads adds an element of excitement and skill, giving drivers and navigators an adrenaline rush.
Unpredictability: Winter weather introduces unexpected challenges, like sudden snowstorms or icy patches, making the rally dynamic and engaging.

2. Breathtaking Scenery

Winter Wonderland Views: Snow-covered landscapes, frozen lakes, and frosty trees provide a picturesque backdrop for the rally.
Seasonal Highlights: Driving through areas decorated for the holidays or featuring winter festivals adds to the atmosphere.

3. Teamwork

Enhanced Communication: Drivers and navigators must work closely to handle both the route instructions and the added complexity of winter driving conditions.
Shared Experiences: Overcoming winter challenges together strengthens bonds among participants.

4. Unique Driving Skills

Mastering Traction: Learning to handle a vehicle in low-grip conditions can be both fun and educational.
Precision Driving: Maintaining control and staying on course in wintry conditions tests and improves driving skills.

The rally will be mostly in Wabasha County, home of the Grumpy old men movies. Too bad the event isn't in February so you could attend the Grumpy Old Men Festival. The National Eagle center is in Wabasha as well.

Navigational Scatters were created to provide a rally challenge without the burden of staying on time.
We track your progress using the MiRally transponders. Your course is converted to driving distance via GPS and Google Maps. This distance is how you will be scored.

There are several locations to visit. Plot the shortest route that takes you by the specified number of them.
Although a map has been provided you may also use any device you want to aid you including online mapping. Google maps id helpful but does not always give the shortest route. The route between the points below offers many options.
You have three hours and 20 minutes from the time you check-in until the time you check-in at the endpoint. This includes some extra time incase you make mistakes along the way.
Your score is the total miles from start to end.
There is a 30 mile penalty for each waypont less than the specified number you miss. So if we say you must go through 15 of 20, you are penalized for only doing 14.

You will be asked to select a Class. There are no classes on this event, the selection will be used for the LOL chanpionship.
