Badlands Toys for Tots - Attica IN - 12/6/08

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Since Woody is gallivanting around and will be enjoying west coast wheeling, Surf n Turf and SEMA I thought I'd pick up the slack and start the thread.

Okay, you know the drill. Who's going?
Most of the Hoosiers will be there and a better half of Chicago will be there.
Can I get some Buckeyes and some Bluegrassers?

<--in - planning to arrive on Thurs nite, get in some 'peaceful' wheelin on Friday!

 

[Mike Knorr]

Some guys from MN are talking about making the trek down.

 

[9ersgirl]

Niner and I are trying to make it work... Hopefully we'll be there!

 

[phishtaco]

I'm working on coming...We'll see how it goes.

 

[Goebeler]

I heard this past weekend that I apparently reserved a room last year when there. Called 'Jeff at the hotel and he agreed. Guess, vehickle or not, I am headed down if it works out. I need to see what wheelin is all about these days... It's been a long time!

Goebs

 

[woody]

you did reserve, I was there.....let me know if we need arrangements to get your rig there

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Looks like some will be camping, somewhere!!

 

[Goebeler]

The 40 is up north again, might bring it back the weekend before turkey day. Was up there this weekend but didn't have anything to tow it back with. Just made the trip to get rv up there and help prep for winter.
I might have the 55 down there but it's not done but could be a nice break in trip. I have not wheeled something that large so it might be a learning experience.
What are you wheelin? 40 or the 80 or both?
I am going to get some real crap for leaving that weekend cause I leave again for Colorado the following wednesday. But I am prepping the home front starting last week......

 

[woody]

just the 40 for me....need some hardcore time.....

will have an ATV on the trailer for the trip down, but 'might' have space for your 40, like last year.....40+40+ATV DOES fit

 

[Goebeler]

I think I might have to head down Friday afternoon. Might complicate things. If I can get the trailer going, I can get the 40 there. I am dying to get the 55 out but seeing as it isn't done and I have no idea if the lockers are working.... might be a waste of time towing the thing all the way there to get stuck in the parking lot...

Decisions decisions.

Are you going solo or is a gal joining you again?

 

[Mike Knorr]

Woody when you getting down there?

 

[woody]

I plan to arrive Thurs early evening....but could be there anytime - no real job rocks

Goebs, I'll let you know next week on trailer space....and I can easily pick up your 40 the week prior....

and yes, I've got a friend coming (Amy) - she's planning on bringing her ATV down and running that with Jon and a few others on Saturday, and ride with me on Friday - I think....assumes she can escape work...

I'd let you use my normal-size hauler, but it needs a new axle and tires.....reminds me, 'got a guy' I should chat with on that....hhhmmmm

 

[joez]

I'll be arriving early friday morning for some nice relaxing wheeling , and will stick arround saturday for sure and possibly even sunday. Sunday will depend on breakage and the gf, if she can even make it down. But plan on seeing my wrinkly 4-runner down there for at the minimum two days.

 

[SHREG]

Working my way down. Tuesday Wed Chicago, Thursday Indianapolis. Arrive Thursday night, work Friday morning then explore some of teh bunny trails in my car........... Waiting on a signed kitchen pass.....then were good to go....

Looking forward to tippin one with ya Woody....lemme know if you need some cheese curds......

 

[woody]

oh, I'll be home before then....plenty o time for curds!

 

[Mike Knorr]

I think me and Lame will be leaving Thursday arriving late Thursday night. Wheel Friday and Saturday. Hope its not 20 below again.

 

[phishtaco]

I'm out...family stuff with the kids

 

[Goebeler]

Mike,
Don't remind Jeff about your love for fine wine. He might not be happy with that. Time to stick to beer so he doesn't recollect that eve.
I am hoping to make it with or without my truck. Someone will be driving my ass around if I am truckless cause I need to get a trip in this year in some sort of 4x4.

 

[SHREG]

Good to go. Truck is fixed, my plans are to leave Hudson Monday.... Couple days in Chicago working, then off to Indianapolis work Thursday. Arrive at the hotel motel Thursday night with the rest of the Block-Heads.....ewr, i mean Rock-Heads.....
