But hey, for short notice..it may work.

Your more than welcome to come.

Sam that is great. I had some problems with both of mine (No tags) and Coop was afraid he would be the only one there.

Last year they gave us a fire ring and a lot of wood. So hopefully we won't freeze our a$$'s off.

See ya sunday.

Happy Trails

Sorry, Coop! I have prior comitments!!

[prohandyman]

How far is it from Indianapolis? We camped in -1 deg a couple of weeks ago, so cold isn't a problem!

[Sam I am]

Well, we survived Winterfest! Coop and I had our tears on display and we got snowed on several times in a few hours! Here are pics of the snow-covered tears! It was snowing hard when I took the picture of mine! Nonetheless, we had fun showing the tears to many interested folks!


The drive home was interesting! I encountered many white-out moments with snow blowing across route 192! Fortunately, very few other people were stupid enough to be out driving in that weather! It was a slow trip, but I made it home intact! Thanks to Coop and Len and his brother for a good time!
