Mopar Miles Cruise 2017
A marvelous day for many miles amongst Mopars!
This was the first rolling event for local car club 316ModernMopar and it was a spectacular precedent for cruise events in the future. The plan was to meet up, drive up to Cottonwood Falls, have a picnic lunch, and finally return home with a sprinkling of photo opportunities.
So what kind of cars showed up for the cruise? There were 21 modern Mopar vehicles in attendance during the event: 9 Challengers, 8 Chargers, 2 RAMs, a Viper, and a Wrangler JK. There was a wide range of trims across these models even including SXT, R/T, Daytonas, Scat Packs, SRT8, SRT10, and even a mighty Hellcat.
The event started in the morning when we crowded the parking lot of a gas station. Once we all had gathered, we queued up in the adjacent street and began the cruise heading through El Dorado to drive up KS-177. Once we made it up to Cottonwood Falls, we parked in front of the Chase County Courthouse for a photo opportunity.
Once photos were taken we headed over to the local park nearby for lunch. After we finished eating we moved to a military memorial at the park for another photo opportunity.
It was time to start heading home but we still had a couple moving photo opportunities left. The group parked at the a Kansas Scenic View to let photographer Morgan drive ahead to a location where we'd all drive past to get our pictures taken.
