Some of you may remember the Driftless area from when you attended the 2010 COG National Rally in Tomah and others are asking what is the Driftless area.
The Driftless Area is located in the American Midwest including southwestern Wisconsin, southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa, and northwestern Illinois. This area’s name is derived from the fact that it was surrounded by glaciers during the last glacial period, yet remained untouched by passing glaciers. The area is noted by the deeply carved river valleys after having escaped glaciation in the last glacial period.
COG visits the area during the Gathering on the Green and the Hunt for Red October and on many of our day rides.
Below are a couple of websites dedicated to the area.
