Land of Lakes II Adventure – July 21-24, 2025
Come on out and experience the beauty of the lake country of Minnesota. Three and a half days of just the right mix of twisty driving roads, relaxing scenic stops, and country resort lodge accommodations aimed at relaxation amidst the serenity that is northern Minnesota.
There is a reason midwesterners flock to this idyllic, pastoral landscape to recharge and refresh. Join us as we escape to gorgeous backroads of the countryside and discover for ourselves the majesty of the heartland – and maybe make a little noise where fewer people might be bothered by us kicking up our heels and testing the rev limiter.
Testing the rev limiter... yes, there IS A RACE TRACK out here in the midst of all these beautiful lakes. Brainerd International Raceway has kindly offered us the opportunity to follow a professionally driven C5 Corvette for several parade laps at this regional legend of a dedicated roadracing course. For those who joined us at Watkins Glen in 2023, you know how much fun this sort of thing is! And to have the chance in your own car is such a thrill and something you'll brag about to your friends and family back home.
Winding down... yes, we will need that after enjoying the challenges of the local roads. So we will do that with lakeside lunches on the shores of beautiful Gull Lake and Lake Itasca. But a visit to the lakes region is not complete until you have spent some time on the deck of a pontoon boat, sunning as you like, or enjoying the shade of the canopy with a beverage in hand and good friends to enjoy the Adventure with.
Dance on the headwaters of the Mississippi (or just jump across it if you prefer), sing out loud to fill your soul as you sail through the gears of your favorite driving machine, and share stories of Adventure with your peers as the day winds down over the waters of the land of 10,000 lakes. Let's make some memories. Go, start an Adventure!

INTRODUCTION
Overdrive Adventures™ offers a variety of driving events for your enjoyment. We strive for safe and fun events; however, driving is an inherently dangerous activity. The paved public routes may include winding roadways with the possibility of gravel/sand on roadways or even debris on the pavement as well as all types of weather elements. Motor vehicle touring exposes you to all types of temperature, climate, and significant elevation changes related to the region in which we are touring. This is not the tour for the beginner driver nor a place / trip to learn how to drive. You and any passenger in your vehicle must be in good health and adapted to driving for long periods during the day.
