My favorite Georgia niece has loved Uncle Jim's Jeep since she learned to talk. Now she's taking graduate classes at St. Louis U and has most Friday afternoons off. Some Midwest guys want to get together at Rockport or Redbird or even Attica? The Badlands would be a long haul for us for a single day, but . . .
I'd be interested as long as its not too far. I think Rockport would be my choice and I'd camp out. The problem is I don't have very many free weekends for Sept, but that doesn't mean the rest of you can't go.
Nick, let me know what weekends you do have available, and I'll check with Britni to see what will match up. We could leave here after her last class on Friday and be at Rockport by supper time.
The only weekend this month I don't have anything planned is the weekend of the 23rd-25th. But if we go into October, I have every weekend open excluding the 10/1/05.
Oh, well I'm long back from Estes. I just forgot to change the location in my profile. Ooops. October would be preferable for me, but the 23rd is workable if gas prices stay pretty level.
I just talked to Britni. So far her schedule calls for her to get off at noon on Friday the 23rd, and she's up for it. We could be in the Rockport area by late afternoon. Wheel Saturday and head home early Sunday so that she can study. Where to stay? Someone mentioned a camp ground in the area. Being as how she's a GURL, she might like some amenities like a shower and terlet.
Will, and anyone else:
I just talked to Bob, who was getting home from a trip to British Colimbia in the bus. He's ready to go again, and also wants to call up some of the bunch who used to go there every year a couple of decades ago. Ricci and Brit are both up for that, so we may need an extra seat.
We usually do that in mid- to late October, a couple of weeks before deer season opens. Have to find out when that is and start making plans.
Is there any way she'd be interested in a run in October? I've been invited to another activity the weekend of the 23rd and can't decide which to go to.
No way to know until the time comes. She said that the work is getting tougher, and she's not the kind of whipporwill who would duck sturying just to go play. Anyone we know? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
She's interested in going to the Mark Twain in late October, but that's too far off to count on. And it would be a pretty long haul for you.
Hi Greg,
Try Pine Lakes: www.pinlakesresort.com you can also try Lake
Pittsfield 217-285-4484. Both have showers and are very nice. They are
both about 15min from the park in Pittsfield, IL.

I think I've changed my plans for that weekend and will be going to a cowboy action shoot instead. This way I can save money on gas, food, repairs, etc....and spend it on the Oct trip to the NE for that whole shindig. Sorry guys to drop out at this point....but I just don't think its my best option right now.
FYI: If you pick Lake Pittsfield, be aware that although is's a very nice place....stay out of the water. The place is infested with Water Moccasins. Last time we were there with the grandbabies we counted probably 50-60 within an hour period.....not good.
Greg, my daughter-in-law is hinting that she might like to come. Frankie is coming, but Toby may ride with him. You going to have an open seat?
