Midwest GGGG May 1-3

David,

That sounds fantastic to me! Know anything about the hiking in the area?

Jonathan,
If you go on the Vernon County Parks website I know a couple of them have a fair amount of hiking trails.

Deleted. Repeat post.

Jonathan,
No, all of my hiking has been up trout streams.

I will probably bring along my teardrop camper(car camping light) since it has a galley. I also have a 10 x 10 canopy we can set up if the weather isn't real good.

Ok as of now, Mark R and granddaughter
Doug and Me(Dave)

Those of you who want me to bring steaks will have to let us know. I'm thinking steaks Friday night and brats for Saturday.
Cost is $15 per tent per night. Self registration. We also will have 2 wheelbarrows of wood brought by the park staff. If needed we can order more.
Josh just let me know he won't be able to make it. Mark, if you bring the eggs I'll bring some sausage and potatoes and make an egg bake the 1st morning. We could do pancakes & polish sausage the 2nd morning. We'll settle up on $ when we get there.

Josh,
Eggs and elk bacon sounds great. I can call ahead and have 2 more wheelbarrows delivered. I forgot about your 10" high fires(LOL).

I intend to reimburse David for my Steaks and brats. I have a small flock of Rhode Island Reds and Floppy Joe says the girls and her will be happy to supply the eggs

I can bring my alarm clock also

He's probably not any louder than your snoring.

I think you're bringing the trailer just so you can have a bit of a sound break from the snoring.

Go ahead and get the steaks and stuff for me too, I' ll pay you back when we meet up. I can take care of the plates and condiments. I'll take care of the beans too, if that's what everyone wants.

Does the site have electricity? Maybe I can bring the Keurig and a big screen.

Doug,
They have some sites with electricity but not the corner we're in. I'll try to get a large coffee pot.

The Midwest Tenkara Fest has added some more presentations.

The list of presenters is now complete for "The Midwest Tenkara Fest". It will be a combination of live and video presentations.

Josh has had to drop out of GGGG due to another commitment. Anyone who wants to be included in the grilling should let us know so we can get you covered for food. As of now it's just Mark, Doug and I. There will also be some people from the Tenkara Fest in the same campground, including a guy from Iowa with a teepee.

My girlfriend and I may join. Was thinking of going to Midwest Tenkara Fest and just saw this. If we come we will be bringing the new Yama Mountain Gear Swiftline and I will have my new Elemental Horizons Kalais pack and Exped SynMat WinterLite among other things.

We will likely figure our own food situation out as we don't eat beef (normally) and don't know how long we will be at MWTF.

Ken, we would love to have you and your girlfriend join us.

I am planning on grilling steaks Friday night with baked potato and a caesar salad and then breakfasts Sat and Sunday morning. I am thinking bacon and eggs and pancakes and sausage. Saturday evening I plan on eating at the Tenkara Fest. It also looks like some of the guys are planning on fishing for awhile on Monday. We will need a head count for the meals probably by April 23rd.

Anyone else interested?

Please let us know this week if you are coming so we know who to look for. I will be the guy in the teardrop camper (car camper light) in either site 19 or 20. If you want to be included in the steak fry then I need a head count. Hope to see you there.

I would REALLY like to meetup with youse guys but there's just too much life happening up here to get away for a weekend and it's too far for a day trip. Next time?

Jim Colten

Myself and my GF will be there. Not sure if we will show up late Friday night or after MW Tenkara Fest on Saturday. We will be the couple with the green and gray Yama Mountain Gear Swiftline. I think we will cover our food since our arrival time may vary.

I will also be there with a virgin Elemental Horizons Kalais, Exped MW SynMat WinterLite, HMG Pillow Stuff Sack, etc. Yay, new gear!
