6th Annual MNMazda Camping Trip! [Closed]

[mazdamn02]

So are we thinking first or second week of August at this point? Can't believe how fast time is flying!

 

[Hot Ice]

Hopefully I'm not stepping on Jess's toes here, but I want to get the ball rolling on this thing!

Not at all. I wondered how long it would take for someone to take it over. Back in April a deer decided to run out in front of me and the Mazda got totalled. So I did some car shopping and now am the proud owner of a Volvo. I like it a lot. Anyway, I thought someone else could take over the camping trip. I may be able to go depending on the weekend. That was a great place and anyone who didn't go last year should this year, it is AWESOME!!

Jay, did you check on availability yet? If so, can you throw up a survey or something so we can see what weekend would work best for everyone? Group Site #1 by the river, or any pair of sites 28-31 would work out best, in fact sites 28 & 29 are always the ones Jess and I (along with other friends) have tried to get in the past, especially if anyone is considering doing some fishing at all.

Sorry guys last week was a clusterfuck at work. But I just fired them off an email inquiring about group site 1, or a block of sites on the other side of the canoe landing for the weekends that were brought up. Got my fingers crossed! Will update first post when I hear back.

 

[dmention7]

Alright, I have confirmed the group site by the river is available the weekend of August 10-12, but that's the only one of the three.

If I can get 3 other people to confirm this works for them, I will call and make the reservation!

 

[Picklz]

That is unfortunate, I will have to decide if I'm doing this or going to my 10yr I guess. I will try and let ya know soonish.

 

[007CobaltLS]

Yeah, I'm not going to make it camping that weekend...possibly for the same reason as Picklz...but I have backup plans if I don't go to the reunion.

 

[YSOSLO]

I'll have to verify at work tomorrow, but I think the 10-12th will work for us. Did they have nothing available for the other sites (28 & 29 together) on any of the weekends either? Just trying to see what might be available for the most members.

 

[dmention7]

If it was a different weekend would anyone else be able to commit? I really need a "Yes I will go if it is XX or YY weekend" or else setting a date is like trying to herd cats. lol

We can have some floaters, but without 4 groups firmly committed, I know exactly how this thing is going to go down!

 

[YSOSLO]

I already have August 10th off, so that weekend definitely works for me. I can have Jess (my wife, not the mnmazda one) verify she can get the 10th off too once the date is locked in. I have every other Friday off just about all Summer, so I'm also off on August 24th and July 27th if the other sites are open either of those weekends too...or you could schedule other sites not on those weekends if you don't want my old drunk ass there...lol

 

[dmention7]

Also, I'll give them a call on lunch today and try and get some more details on site capacity (min/max), payment details, etc.

Just to say it again, these events are always a good time! While it is tradition to bring out a keg (or at least a healthy stock of cans/bottles), we're not throwing a big rager... just a bunch of friendly folks getting together to enjoy the outdoors, chat, and hang out for a weekend. New members are more than welcome!

 

[dmention7]

Confirmed our only option is Group Site 1 on August 10-12. The other sites are all booked.

Right now, it sounds like Pete/Jess are in, Nanami/I are in, and probably Josh/Shelly. I'll ping Josh to make sure, but after that I think I'm going to lock it in for August 10th.

 

[spek1098]

I can't commit yet to that weekend, lots of family plans up in the air for August, but that weekend is the best bet for Katie and me to be able to make it. Not sure if another maybe helps at all but it's the best I got...

Alright guys/gals, here's the deal. We need to put up a deposit for 2 nights for the min of 4 tents for that group spot. So, that's $30 x 4 tents x 2 nights = $250ish with tax. I am happy to put that up as long as I know there are 3 other tents who will reimburse me for their share sometime between now and camping. The site holds up to 7-8 tents, so any additional campers would just pay upon arrival. I am locking this down to August 10th and starting a new *Finalized* thread for discussion.

WOOHOO CAMPING!
