Heads up!!! The Tombstone Trail Rally has three more slots for registration available. This is unheard of for the TT, which sells out every year!

The Tombstone Trail is the longest running, best attended car club event in Minnesota. All you need is 2 people, a car, a pencil, a flashlight and a sense of adventure. We'll take you on a scavenger hunt around rural Minnesota that you will not soon forget. Be prepared to visit some strange places!

This is kind of like an adult motorized scavenger hunt in some decidedly spooky graveyards with great gravel roads connecting them. Some examples of things you may be asked to find:

How many swings are there by the school?
This should be easy, right? Just don't forget to check for a second playground behind the school! Sometimes it's easy to accept the obvious answer and move on. But experienced contestants always take another look around, just to be sure.

What was Joseph Heywood's middle name?
Just a historical tidbit we threw in for fun. Hewwood was the banker killed by the Jesse James gang during their infamous raid on Northfield in 1876. Heywood's tombstone portrays his status as the town banker quite well, though it is limestone and is hard to read after a century.

In 1994 we used the man who was killed in the same gunfight ("A Swedish immigrant shot by robbers" is the inscription on the tombstone). Unfortunately for those too clever or too lazy to actually go to the cemetery, poor Mr. Gustafsan lived 4 days after being shot, so using the date of the raid gave you a wrong answer.

 

wait... what?

 

nice!

 

Yay! I want to try Rally so bad!
