Been talking to a few of the "up north" Isuzuites, & we're trying to decide on a date...The weeknds of 10-21 or 10-28, are the best choices for those contacted so far.

Weigh in with your own preferences.

After consulting the parental units, I am pretty committed to the cabin dock-out/close-down duty on the 21st. The 28th is good though.

OK...here's the dealio...Hunny just got home from work, & reminded me that...

The wknd of the 21st is the only time she can get time off work, the 28th is a no go...:(

So...for sure Me-n-Hunny-n-Jim will be going that wknd.

Iff'n you wanna group up for the 28th, that might be a better option...:_confused

Hey Kenny, can you swing the 21st? there is some chance I can move the cabin thing to the 14th, but it would have to be decided by, like, tomorrow so I can swap weekend shifts at work. Just exploring possibilities, several things would have to come together.

Gilbert is closed during firearm deer season, which I think is the first 3 weekends in November.

Sorry Bud, but it is what it is...:flower:

Tell ya what...I'll leave your truck chair at the top of ski jump, you can pick it up there...:laughing:

No worries, I'll even wrap it in a blue plastic tarp, so you can see it real good.

Connie (Jim's wife) told me today, that bear season is over, so we can all safely wear our spiffy northwoods bear outfits...http://vz.iminent.com/vz/4d8d0eee-e737-4864-8d29-c5e111c0fd89/2/brown-bear-waving-hello.gif

I'll see what I can do to spring loose for Saturday wheeling on the 21st... probably back to the cabin Saturday evening though.

Last I heard they are STILL working on it...they are making progress, but at government speeds. It will happen eventually, by all accounts.

What predesignated time coordinate works best for you? Since you're coming from further away, make the call.

If we get there earlier (prolly not all that likely), we can always come back to the parking lot & meet you there...:yesgray:

Let's call CB channel 12 for starters.

And yes, I'll have all my belly armor in place this time...:smilewink

Realistically I won't be there much before 9AM...it is a solid 2 hr drive from the cabin. But you guys can go on in earlier if you want (yeah right)...:winky:
