Paul, What time do you estimate you will be arriving into Merrimack? I will meet up with you there.

Greg

 

ill get there about 10, i have an autoX the next day sso i wana sleep in one day that week lol

 

Keith, if you are able to make it out, that would definitely be the encouragement I need to push me over the fence for this one.

Dominicks or Lake Forest Oasis meet for Chicago-folk to cruise up together?

 

I would hope to be there about 8:30-8:45, but I honestly don't know specific drive times. It would all depend on how fast we drive. One thing that I do want to happen is for the cruise to leave no later than 7:00 AM.

Your best bet is to show up on 78 on the north shore of Lake Wisconsin, or at the Hwy DL/hwy 78 junction. You'll likely meet up with Scrapdog as he will not be taking the ferry, according to his note.

Garrison, are you and the Chi people going to cruise directly from Chicago, or take the indirect rout and cruise there with the Mke group?

 

NOTE TO ALL ATTENDEES! I will be PMing my phone number and address one week in advance along with any additional info.

THINGS WE NEED!
More attendees
Food items: Burgers, brats, chips, buns . . .
Drink items: soda, beer . . .
Entertainment: Freebies, ladder golf, bean-bag toss . . .
We will also need some small grills. If any of you have access to one, please bring it for burgers and brats.

I can take care of the burgers and soda.
So please place what you are bringing to the meet next to your name.

Mountain-man ----> burgers, soda.

 

If anyone is interested, I make killer Beer Dip.

I also have a charcoal grill that i can load into the Supra hopefully.

Don't really have much for entertainment though.

 

Quick question...............................

Why is this meet starting so EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol I might just have to meet up with you guys in the park.

 

The cruise is starting at 7:00 AM from my place due to the need to get to the park before the droves of other people show up. Since the smaller shelters are first-come-first-serve and no charges, they are likely to be taken later in the day. Remember, we will be arriving at the park at about 9:00 AM, which is when many meets start (well, ok maybe most start at 10:00). Devil's Lake is one of the most popular parks in Wisconsin if not THEE most popular park in Wisconsin.

I've been there on a really nice day before both early and late. . . . And if it's a nice day, it'll be to our benefit to get there early. Just trust me on that.

Most of the climbers show up at the park at around 7:00-8:00 AM (some as early as 6:00 ) to get prime pickings on routes. We're getting there early to get prime pickings on shelters, parking, and beach space.

Just to recap in so there are no confusions: The the meet at the park starts at 9:00 AM. The cruise, from my place starts at 7:00 AM.

 

Bring it!

 

Well, I suppose I could bring my melons again.

If I do not bring a friend, then I can bring a small grill. I'll confirm closer to the date.
