I thought I would give this it's own thread to help raise awareness, and get us to all throw in our opinions about location, and date etc. Lets get this going folks! So far there has been talk of Red River Gorge KY, Deam Wilderness IN, and somewhere in northeast MO. Ideally this would be a loop that would maybe have a couple options for arrival and depature, it also needs to be somewhere that we wont all get fined for camping in too large of a group. So speak up you buckeyes, you Chicagolanders, you hoosiers, Illini, you Michiganders, you Kentuckeyans, and whoever the hell else that is up for a bit of a drive.

How about 8-10 instead? If peeps are takinga vacation day they can take it on Monday instead of Friday and it would be the same thing.

Dec 8-10th should work. That's a good time for the Gorge. We could even do some climbing in one of the crags that gets good sunlight.

1-3 has my vote
(That way I can still swing a new years trip)
meangreen

9/26/07

I vote for 8-10. I also hold proxy on the votes for MarkO, SL, Sarge, Stovestomper, Treebeard, Violin , Birch and Sass (they always agree on everything). They all vote for 8-10.

stovestomper attended this last year nimble. How about you? Got your plane ticket to Indy? I'll pick you up. And Birch and Sass might make this one too so you can't vote for them.
meangreen
3:35:19 PM
9/26/07

If nimble can make it then 8-10 without a doubt. If not then either of the others works too.
birch

8-10 or 15-17 works for me

Wait a minute, Birch. I just voted in your place. Stop screwing things up. I have no idea if I can make it, there's a money crunch that won't be resolved until at least January. IF I can go, anytime is fine...retired and don't give a damn.
