SE MN/NE IA gathering

“Alrighty, it sounds like Gojo will be stopping by for a visit in the vicinity of Oct. 17-18-19.

I was thinking a backpacking trip to either the Reno Unit of the Richard J. Dorer Memorial State Hardwood Forest (located on the Mississippi between Brownsville, MN and New Albin, IA -- by the burg of Reno, if your map shows it)... OR Yellow River State Forest in IA (a bit off the Mississippi, kinda between Harpers Ferry, Marquette and Waterville, IA) (and it's definitely Crazy Mike's ABSOLUTELY *FAV* place to backpack!! LOL!! Just wait, he'll show up and says how it's "evil." LOL!!)

Now I can't guarantee Gojo will be here -- it sounds like that's the plan, however, so we could plan this.

Any takers???? Omahiker and hubby? Snacks? Pekka? Simer? Nowslimmer? Any other lurkers wanting to meet some TTers??”

“Nullen Void? The guy from Platteville, WI?? (sorry, I forgot your handle) And excuse me, I didn't mean to leave out Western WI.”

“Sorry, I'll be in Wisconsin for a wedding.”

“sounds like this event is jumpin! maybe if it had more






BUFFALO!”

“Gonna make it, 2scoops??

Let's not leave out the MO crew!! Stikmon... MUTT!!! lol (Mutt, we wouldn't bushwhack for ya, but we would let you sleep in a nice tree, K?)”

“Sounds like a good plan, but since i moved up to canoe country, and my main mode of transportation has 2 wheels and requires my energy i don't think i'll make it, besides isn't that mea, that's always my "family trip" a lot of car camping and day hikes with my dad and bro, i'll catch u next time.”

“lizs thanks for the invite, it sounds like fun to meet gojo et al. I probably won't be traveling to eastern IA (or anywhere else) this year. Also, that weekend I am going to the opening of a play that my neighbor is starring in.”

“Yippee!! Omahiker at least surfaced!!! lol... As did Snacks. Dang lurkers!! ;-)”

“Could you handle me?


MOHAAAAAAA!!!!!!

“How many miles and how many days are you looking at?”

“hmmm.. who knows?? It would be pretty mellow. I'm not sure when gojo is getting here... and I will be gone to Black Hills from... like RIGHT NOW getting back next Monday.

Pretty helpful, huh? lol

Something will be happening, I can tell ya that much. Just no details for sure. More details TBA Monday.

Why don't you just pick up Nuthead Mike (LOL!) and head on over, jeffers?? lol

Shoot, I'll send ya an e-mail with my phone. I've got your e-mail addy somewhere here.”

“"Why don't you just pick up Nuthead Mike (LOL!)
and head on over, jeffers??"

I think he lives in the Hoosier National Forest somewhere, but if I can get some GPS coordinates, no prob!

Thing is, the ex is trying to pick up some OT and I've been hosting the rugrats on my regular weekends plus those in between...by that weekend she'll have worked three weekends in a row and may be ready for a break. I'll play it by ear and keep you posted.”

“I'd love to join y'all, but my girls are coming home and the drive is a bit too long for a reg weekend. Maybe another time. I love that area.”

“I'm hoooooooome. Now to get a gojo update.”

“I've been informed I'm 100 percent needed here and won't be able to make it. matter of fact, looks like all my weekends are taken until the first of December.

The year without a fall....”

“awwwwwwwwww, jeffers. Well, at least you had a great time in Colorado!! :-)”

“Well that's true....thanks.

:-)”
