Midwest Meetup 2011

Post by locoqueso » Mon Jul 04, 2011 10:57 am

Any plans for a midwest meetup this year? With my bus running better than ever, I'm up from something in 2011.

I would love to meet up with some of you - we're currently booked through Labor Day but fly by ear thereafter.

I am around depending on family plans. It would be fun to get the midwest contigent together. School does not start until 8/22 so I am pretty flexible until then - heck we only have classes mon-thur so anytime this fall would probably work too.
I'm all out of ideas and I've tried nothing.

As hot as it is this week after Labor Day sounds good to me. Labor Day Weekend we hope to go to Buses Nowhere Near the Arch. I'd suggest Indiana Dunes State Park but everyone would have to make their own reservations and it's only 20 milles away from home. The place is booked solid every weekend now through Labor Day.

I was thinking sometime after Labor Day myself. I'm probably up for somewhere in Illinois, Wisonsin, Iowa, or Indiana.

I can't commit to anything but I thought that the state park near the New Glarus brewery would be a fun meet up place sometime.

New Glarus, WI. I'd caution that there aren't many sites there, and many of them are far from level.

I'd like to see something happen, but it seems to be difficult for all the stars to align. We'll be at Kettle Moraine South next weekend, after that, no plans.

Speaking only for myself. I have two weekends in which we are free - 9/24 and 10/15.

FYI - these guys have this going onhttp://busesbythebeach.org/Home_Page.php.
And they are a great bunch of folks....but we will probably do this, instead, that weekend.

Me too, I just don't have any grand ideas for where to go.
