IAC Midwest Late Summer Extravaganza

Post by chitwnvw » Sat Sep 06, 2008 12:09 am

Thought I'd kick this into high gear.

Like to find a centrally located location, just need to know who's coming. The dates are September26-28. Somewhere in Illinois. If all else stays the same I think I will come down on the side of the ole Wooded Wonderland.

What's the feeling, would you prefer to go out in September? Or October for some real fall camping? Or both?

I understand your situation, but everyone is being so wishy washy. PMs will go out in a couple of days and I'll decide. i love fall camping.

You weren't there, Hammie. The horror. The horror, I tell ya. Wayne got rained on good while he was here, kept talking about it, I was like that's nothing. He says, it doesn't rain like that in Portland. :joker:

Do we want to meet up Saturday at Wooded Wonderland?

Who's up for taking Monday off? There's a lot to see there.
