Jim and anyone else coming to Pine City,
There is no address,s so it does not show up on the mapquest or google. I will get you close and I will have up signs I will also give you my cell #. (cell phone that is). Scared you didn't I?
It is the Pine City exit off 35W (exit169) and 7-8 miles west.

Well I asked for some time off from work for the weekend of the 31st of May and 1st of June. Keep your fingers crossed that it gets approved. I might even have my tear done by then. If not then I will just have to use my good old tent.

Count Craig and me in on this one. It will be right before school gets out and will give me a boost going into that last week.

Thanks Toby and Sue. Pokegama Lake Road is exit 169, 7-8 miles would be west of the lake. Man I love the internet for finding locations.

Tim that would be great if you can make it. I always start my conversations when asking for time off with; 'You know I wasn't even looking for a job when I found this one, do you think I could have X off?" :lol:

The camping calendar is filling up :applause:

Jim, Unfortunately with me being the only one in the Facilities Department at night, it's a little hard to start a conversation with anyone but myself. I have been known to talk to myself a lot at night. Also, I always agree with myself! :)

Hi all,
Are you following the news on the flooding?
Sounds like the Whitewater Wipeout may be just that.
Doesn't sound good for it to open any time soon. :oops:

I guess we named it right than. We can always change the date if it floods, I'll check with the park as things get a little closer. May is a great time to see the park too. The forest floor is covered in wildflowers along the hiking trails.


I'll still join you in Pine city ,so keep us posted.

Soooo....when/where is the Minnesota gathering?
I would like to attend. I read something about April 11-12...that's 2 weeks away and I still have 3 feet of snow at my place. To keep warm I'll have to pack either a good heater or a large girlfriend!

You wouldn't need a large girlfriend as long as she was HOT! ;)

You are absolutely right!!!
That's the kind of mistake you only make a couple of times...usually involves beer, late on a Saturday night :o
