My summers are usually all over the place, but I'll probably try to make the trip if the weather's decent. Since someone asked about ideas and you don't want too long or too short of a drive, I'd like to throw out this place as an option. http://www.lostfalls.com/index.shtml It's about a 3 hour drive mostly down I-94 although there are more scenic routes available too, and the last 20-30 minutes of the trip is on nice country roads. The campground is great and the campsites by the beach (sites 28 & 29 especially) feel secluded, yet are fairly close to portapotties as well as the "long grass areas" for you outdoorsmen...lol They also rent out canoes and tubes to float the river on and if you check out the pics of the place it's not a little stream like the Apple River. It's a good sized river yet it has some nice sandbars to take breaks on or swim off of etc. I went a couple of years ago with a group of friends and this place was really great. There are even cabins for those that don't want to sleep in a tent, although the cabins are a short drive from the tent sites. ...just another option for your consideration.

Hmmm... I'm all in for this trip wherever it takes us.
Duluth is cool.
Place with lake and boats to rent is also cool.
I'll go with the flow.

That Lost Falls has potential. If we end up in Brainard or something, I'm might have to take my kid up there this summer...

I was buying some mini propanes from Target yesterday and got a bad itch to go camping, this snow isn't helping me...
Would anyone be interested in perhaps, dare I say it- 2 camping trips? I need to put this stuff I bought last year to good use.
Once we determine our primary camping site, how about we decide on another one for a mini trip, not necessarily a full out mnmazda trip, just who ever's interested.

Cool Jay. Michele and I are already talking about our wish list from REI, etc...
I'll be bringing my Weber super grill, I'm in the process of finding an adapter house to hook the thing up to a full size propane tank. Think of the cooking damage we could do then...

I think the best bet is comeone need to pick a weekend and a place. if there are 3 people laying the pipe for all the plans, it needs to be a weekend they can all attend. Then, give everyone else enough notice to scheudle around it as well. We all know you can work with everyone.
I'd love to have this event on my calendar asap so it's a set date.

There, I got my vote in
So if it is the Weekend of July 19th, 20th, all we need now is a location and things will get rolling nicely.
I'm thinking about a camping opener in May, perhaps in Duluth again, I can open a new thread for my unofficial Josh camping thread.

Well, I think we've got the weekend fairly well nailed down. I think maybe it's time to declare 7/19-20 the weekend, and see if there are any serious objections. If not, people need to start marking their calendars.
Next step, figure out a place. That place in duluth was solid, but I would personally be leaning towards a new place for the sake of variety. Brainerd is sounding good...

Can you guys try to post a website if available for any suggested campgrounds? That way we can get an idea of the amenities and everything to help decide where we might prefer. Since I wasn't around for last year's trip, can someone fill in some details like whether this is more of a guys-only thing or if gfs/wives come along, did you head out Saturday morning and caravan up or just all meet at the designated place either Friday night or Saturday whenever? Does everyone pay ahead of time to nail down our site reservations and ensure that we have enough people to rent a pontoon for a day or whatever you all do, or is it pay that weekend so nobody's really locked in? Do multiple tents share a site, or did you spread out last year and have a "get-together" area for meals and stuff like that? Any pics from last year?

Here is where we stayed in Duluth last year: http://indianpointcampground.com
Girlfriends/wives are more than welcome! We had several couples last time.
The plan last time was to head up friday afternoon, stay friday and saturday night, then pack up on sunday. Though, it should be no big deal if people want to show up and/or leave on saturday as well. We incorporated a nice cruise by all meeting up in Forest Lake before rolling out to Duluth, which was pretty fun.
It's probably flexible. Last time, Jess (Hot Ice) was generous enough to book the site ahead of time, and we all paid her when we met at the campground.
Last time we reserved 2 neighboring sites and used them together as one big communal site. That worked really well, and I'd imagine that's how we'd do it this time as well. Though we may need 3 sites, depending on interest.
Here is the thread from last year: http://www.mnmazda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312
I know pics exist, but they are probably scattered around on computers and file-sharing sites.... there were some in the gallery, but that got nuked! lol

Sorry Josh. I was off for Spring Break and this wonderful computer decided that it wasn't going to work and I wasn't around the internet much. I think I am letting others take over unless specifically asked. I know that I would like to go and probably with Crista again. Right now, all of my weekends are open, except the first one in June, so I don't need to vote until it gets down to the end. But I will be trying to keep an eye on the forum. I am hoping to get more time with it!!
By the way...happy spring to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
