OK. I've been trying to play it off that it isn't going to be ready for BRSF (Lori says I was overdoing it), but truthfully all I have left to do is fix the hinge leak problem. I know Craig will help me with it. He is great about that! ;)


Ah, a plot to try and throw us off guard so that we wouldn't be prepared with TP....

Sorry, ain't gonna work...I've been a Boy Scout since I was 6, so I am ALWAYS prepared... :twisted:

You don't look much like a boy to me!!! :lol: Besides, Lori knew and she already has the TP ready!

I was surprised by the number of people that actually believed me since the photos in my album showed a completed tear!

Add me to the list for the gathering. I haven't wanted to commit before now because am expecting a new grandchild anytime in the next week or so.
I'm not one for making camping plans ahead of time, so don't know yet when I will head that way. Maybe Thurs aft or sometime Friday at the latest. I may stay a night near Lansing Iowa on my way and figure on Pigeon Creek Campground to start unless Castle Mound has plenty of room. I may even stay over til Monday.
Unless a baby shows up in the next day or so I will definately be there.

The more the merrier! Actually, we were thinking about doing Pigeon Creek, if we go on Friday, and then moving over to Castle Mound on Sunday.

Jim might, if he takes I-90/94, but Lori won't...it's another 54 miles east of BRSF...we talked about the possibility of them boondocking it at Wally World Friday night.

Is it permitted to burn cabinet shop wood scraps in Wis state parks?
I know they won't let me bring in Iowa firewood.

Uhh...well..um...Some one did that at Cooler Near The Lake II but he lived in Wisconsin. He put it all in a rubbermaid bin, and didn't say anything about it. I think with it being treated lumber it would be okay, but I don't want to say anything that could get anyone in trouble.
