We were there today, and the mosquitoes are pretty thick, so bring your bug spray.

I was going to ask you about that - it's either black fly season or mosquito season...

I've got a 15' x 13' screen house we can set up to help with the mosquitos. Should I bring it?

Heck, yes! That would be great, if it's not too much trouble. I was going to see if we still had ours stored out in the garage. We haven't used it in several years. If it's there, I'll bring it. Better safe than sorry.

I've got a full size pickup with plenty of room!

Thanks for doing that, it is right on the balls.
How did you know the address?

You gave good directions.

I plan to be there Saturday afternoon. We are extremely busy at work getting cars ready for the "Back To The '50s" Car Show in St. Paul on June 20th, so I'll be working 7 day weeks until then. But I'll knock off early on Saturday and head up there to meet you all, check out your trailers, and hang out until evening.
My trailer is still in the planning stages, so I hope to get some input and ideas so I can finalize my plans and get my trailer built in time for the next years camping season.

We show our teardrops at Back to the 50's. Been doing it for several years. It's always a fun time, although the days tend to be long. But we have a great spot and get to see lots of beautiful vehicles. I always look forward to it...a great way to start summer!

So this is it people!! Is everyone ready for ING 1.0?
I printed out my maps and have at least the vaguest idea of where I'm going.
Spent some time today catching up on this thread:
Rainman's got signs...Betsey's got shirts
We got what looks like berry cobbler coming from Illinois
The beans are still a question mark...
Where's Lori been?
McGinty...Whasssup with the TD? Or are you camping on the ground?
Is someone bringing a goat?

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!!

She's still around. I have one kid graduating next week and got another one off to Europe for the summer, so things have been a bit busy at Lor's house.

I should be there by 6:30 on Fri. night , hopefully the thunderstorm moves through on thurs. and leaves us with some great weather this weekend. I'm bringing my son, daughter , and the puppies along.

Do we need to bring any firewood? Water? Anything else ?
I have a screen house I'll bring along.

OK count me in with a cobbler from Illinois. My son is in the Persian Gulf, the daughter is working and the dog demands my wife stays at home an if I could I would be there at 6:45 on Friday to make sure Lori had something to drink but unless the boss leaves at noon Friday I won't be there till Saturday morning hoping someone has a bit of V8 juice and a celery stalk. I have a rain suit and some deet, a lawn chair and a couple of stories so I think the first Boy Scout rule of being prepared is covered. I am ready to meet some new friends and enjoy some time with some friends who are younger than Tom and one less than a quarter century old.

It looks like a 70% chance of rain tomorrow, 30% chance on Friday and Saturday, and 20% chance on Sunday. It looks like I will be the only one camping in the mud. At least I sealed the seams on my tent today. I will not have my teardrop campable in time. Sorry. I did get it all sanded and the epoxy sealer on it this weekend. No new photos because sanding and sealing don't lend to a significant change in the way it looks.

Jim , What's the boss's number, I need to call him b4 noon fri. because I need my drink b***h by 6:45.

Have a safe trip up and I'll save a spot for you. If you get close and can't make it ,stop at my house and camp in the front yard. I'll give you the code to get in my door.

Lori,
815 637 2500 ask for Phil. He just might come out and tell me to go!

We will make the beans.
We have some water (40 gals.) but I woudn't use it for drinking.
We have plenty of firewood.
Our phone is (320) 282-6950, if you have any trouble finding it.
See you then.
Are there any musicians out there? We need music!
Tim, I'll try to find you a nice level spot. It may not be #68 tho.

Thanks! As long as the nice level spot isn't a nice LOW spot, I should do fine!

I just can't figure out who that is.
Ahh well, I guess Jim will have to introduce me to this person when I get there...

Gee thanks Jim, you sure know how to hurt a guy!! I'll be thinking of you all this weekend. I hope you have a great time, well, with Lori and Jim there you can't help but have fun.
Happy camping everyone.
