Hey, I scheduled the Hawaiii trip end of February to middle of March because Winterfest was always early February. '06 we'll be going to Puerto Vallarta for 2 weeks sometime around then, so how about a date for me to work around?
At least in Maui and Molokai I had XJ rentals, in PV all I can get is a TJ uke:

actually, i believe it was $100/year....just to help cover some of my costs (which is still a great deal approx $8.33/month....it costs me more a month for the server). but don't worry about the money too much, if it's not there when the year is up, I'm not gonna pull the plug on the site or anything like that

Well, if that doesn't sound like an invitation to freeload, I don't know what does.

That is what I had thought.
If Mark dosn't send you a check, you need to send out those two guys to break his knees!
After all you are from Chicago!

The "Event" existed before the chapter...


if someone volunteers to bring a big enough grill and we take a collection...

We can have a mini-Meatfest in Attica...

Well said on the "Event"

I know of a certain someone who'd be willing to handle the grill aspect. Of course he only knows how to come to WF in Feb. and camp out at the river, the way it should be.

 

[WipesOutStains]

no he's not. he's from the land of the woodgrained mini-van and the split-level.

hmmm

didnt know that one...

someone ought to tell me SPOBI about now...

 

[Bloose]

Official or Unofficial...

I couldn't give a rat's ass for either...

Before the chapter was even "formed",

Attica was the winter pilgrimage of the offroad faithful in this area...

The "Event" existed before the chapter...

Hell...

The chapter might not even exist if it wasn't for a lot of locals that met, wheeled, drank and sat around a campfire over there...

Very good point Gil,

It is possible that there was a Winterfest before there was even a . If not there was a WF just after the formation of . Scotty Mac and Bones would know.

Hard to get the tow rig to the river though.

Actually, it's not. I've seen some rather large motorhomes down there. You just take that drive/road behind the McD's straight on down. There's gobs of space too. Ahh, rememberance of days past.

Not really B and I have had both our rigs down there one year.

There has been a winter event in Attica since before was formed. It wasn't named Winterfest until after was formed. It's been an official run well before the formation of the Midwest Chapter. There as been many chapter discusions around a campfire in Attica.

I'm glad to see you guys decided to keep it in Attica.

I may even surprise you SOB's by showing up this time.

Sure you will.
Quit teasing us.

 

[Fore Wheeler]

wow.

all this sounds like what the 'traditionalist pansys' were saying last year. hasta

gill hit it on the nose. :lecture:

what was/is the purpose of the 'other' website when we have this one?? I hope it's not just so we can swear online. it sounds like without it we wouldn't need as much money. :dunno:

glad to hear some reasonable talk now about another event and taming down WF to where it once was, and I fell in love :kissyou: with the MW people.

I also hope that once WF comes around next year there will be still only one campfire, it would be a shame to lose that. :flame:

I thought so. I know there was a story about either you or bones breaking through the ice!

You better be there!
