Mark it on your calenders!!!!

Last year we had 8 vans total, hoping for a lot more this year. Don't need a van to come!

Plenty of room to overnight, come early stay late.

"This is an open invite to a family BBQ at my house on Aug 10-12

Pot luck, cards, volleyball, softball, bonfire.

We will have a cookout on Saturday with brats, burgers, soda, lemonade and water provided. Everyone brings a dish to pass and BYOB.

This is a kid friendly campout.

Dogs welcome at own risk.

We have 20 acres so plenty of room for camping.

Feel free to stop by."

**** I am looking for suggestions for activities or whatever to make the event better*******

So far we think we will do a cruise at some point and try to get some music.

Maybe some DIY maintenance for the vans???

Thanks to all that have made it up the past years and hope to see you there.

Jeff

Hoping to make it out to this again this year. Last year was a good time. Hopefully there will be a few other bays there this year.

Ooh, too many trips and not enough time... I'm dreaming of a PacNW monster, maybe a couple weeks after Midwesty, but that'll depend on the schedules of some friends around PDX. I'd hate to miss it, but a big trip would take precedence!

That said... I'm still thinking Midwesty 2012 will be awesome Smile

We will be heading for Alaska before your GTG........ would love to drop by on the way up!

We plan to leave here (southeast Ky) no later than August 6th. We generally stay at or near Portage the first night.

My TDI project is almost ready. I hope to get it finished in the next 10 to 15 days and then do some de-bugging.

Project is at this link: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=276798

Yeah, I devoted the entire day, today, finishing the exhaust system. I've had most of it ready for quite some time. I just needed to do those final pieces of work to get it finished.

Yes, I'll make an effort to contact you and/or swing by on our way north.
