September 9 - 1 1, 2025

Like most of the Dakota Region’s big events, the Driftless Region of Wisconsin and Minnesota has hit the maximum number of entries six months before it starts!  Keep an eye on this website for other great drives hosted by Dakota Region!

Arrival day is Tuesday, September 9th, with drives on Wednesday, the 10th, and Thursday, 2025.   It will continue with the Treffen-style format, with focused small group drives and destinations of interest to all.  No meals are arranged, so participants are encouraged to check out the foodie scene in the area. 

There will be a concours on the first day of the drives, so remember to bring your ceramic liquid of choice and a veritable cornucopia of microfiber towels.  20 cars will still be the limit.  The Hampton Inn and Suites continues to serve as the host hotel in La Crosse, WI. 

For more information on registration and reserving hotel rooms, please get in touch with John at dakpor18@gmail.com. Even though RV-BOWWOW has reached its 20-car limit, you can still be added to the wait list by emailing John@ DAKPOR18@gmail.com

We have reached our limit of 20 cars for the September event in La Crosse.  Please post on webpage and FB page.  A blast email would be good, too.  I will keep a waitlist for those who would still like to be considered and use my dakpor18@gmail.com address for that.     

Please celebrate with us for the 20th running of the annual drive to the Driftless Region of Wisconsin and Minnesota.  The first run, in 2006, has continued its tradition, and this will be a special anniversary year.
