*COMPLETED* MNmazda Camping Trip 2008 ->Aug 8-10<-

[Hot Ice]

I would imagine at least ten. If we can get enough people who want to or will pitch it, I will get it for sure. I would love to hang on a pontoon for a while.

 

[Picklz]

Jess, if you have room in your tent still count me in, then I don't have to go buy one right this second and can just go find a single matress instead. I'm in so long as I dont get put oncall with my new job. I start the 14th of July so I should be able to find out then or shortly after.

As for the pontoon I'd be in for splitting a half day, if we get at least 4 people thats only $20 each + gas, and I'd guess we would get more than 4.

Do they have regular fishin boats too or just pontoons? Any idea where we might meet up to caravan down and what time we would be leaving?

 

[Hot Ice]

Ok Matt, you can bunk with us. Just keep me posted on if you can't go so I can pimp my tent out to someone else.

They do have a regular small fishing boat. She said it is $12.50 per hour and that includes gas. It probably only fits 3 or 4.

The issue with caravaning down for me is...I will be back at work that week. Last year I was there early to set stuff up and take care of business but my summer is ending shorter this year. And since it will be the first week back...I don't know what I can do about getting time off. I will work on it. But...I don't think it is that big of a deal for those of you who could go early, to do it. But...let me know if any of you are going to be there early enough that you want a boat on Friday afternoon. And if there is a group that could caravan down with me in the early evening...that would be kick ass.

 

[Picklz]

I'm going to try and take a half day off, but if I can't I might be in that evening caravan group, just have to see as we get closer.

I don't think I'd want a boat on Friday, I could see trying to rent a fishin boat Sat evening if its nice out, if I don't have to reserve it ahead of time. I'll just play that by ear.

 

[Hot Ice]

Matt, do you think we should get the pontoon for morning or afternoon?

 

[Picklz]

do they have like set time blocks we have to reserve it for? or just any 4 hours?

If we could get it from like 10-2 I think that'd be pretty cool but I would be open to going whenever (provided we have at least 4-5 people that want to go).

 

[Hot Ice]

Well I am quite surprised at the lack of sign up/enthusiasm from people. I would think that by the time it gets closer there will be more signing up and getting pumped up for it. We need to get Jay to sign you up on the first post as well. Last year we had 13 go and we had a blast. I am hoping for even more this year! The drive will be sweet and being on the river will be very nice. I will call them and reserve it for whichever time is going to work best.

 

[Picklz]

I added myself to the first post

 

[mazdamn02]

Jeez, people should hurry up and sign up yo. This is going to be a blast...

 

[ij1889]

idk i might, but i have no camping equipment to use so idk, ill think about it, but is mnmazda gonna have another cabin weekend in the fall? if so ill just go to that

 

[AJ]

Getting a big ground for a cabin will be hard, most locations for bigger groups like we had are pretty booked up or the cost goes up a large amount. I'm looking at options though.

 

[ij1889]

well just let me know id be uo for even paying 100 for the weekend so yeah

 

[dmention7]

I just got back from spending a few days camping in the black hills and it just made me even more amped for this trip! I KNOW more of you want to come, so speak up and add your name to the list!

 

[Picklz]

I'm realllly looking forward to this. I start my new Job next week so I'll be talking to my boss right away to make sure nothing will get in the way of this weekend.

And Ivan, you can pickup a tent for $30-40, I don't think You'll need all that much stuff as we are just going to be at a campground not like we are doing a 3-4 day backpacking trip or anything. I hope more people sign up because this is gonna be Awesum!

 

[Hot Ice]

Got the pontoon reserved for that Sat. from 10-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring fishing poles, swimsuits, coolers, etc...who cares, just be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dmention7]

First post updated!!!! I know more of you want to sign up

 

[Big Nate]

Jess can I bring a camper to the site you got us set up with?? It is one of those pop-up ones.

 

[aviateur]

Jay, I will also be attending, you can put my name on the first post.

 

[Hot Ice]

Nate, I am not sure but I will call at some point this weekend and find out. I hope so, cause it would be real nice if you could go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH! Jeff is going, knew you would!!

 

[Hot Ice]

Nate, you CAN bring a pop up. She said you just have to pick which spot to put it in so you get electric and stuff. It will be the same price as the tent as well.

Jeff, how much room do you have in your tent? Can you accept roommates? I think a few people are interested but don't have a tent.

Thanks guys! This will be a blast!!!
