I don't think I will be able to make it. :(

I will be in Maine for the first 1/2 of August, so it will be tough to get more vacation time at the end of August.

DANG IT!:mad:

I will be posting more every day, pushing the interest on the run, getting as much information out as possible...Thank you all for your interest and for any help that you can give bringing in friends and new folks...Pat

Unfortunately this year just doesn't look like an option in regards to my work schedule. However, that does mean that I can start putting spare pennies off to the side and saving up for NEXT year.

Hi Pat (Scaleguy) and Katie (Donbb82),

I would love to come up to the Dells! I'm working on it. That is the same weekend that my wife will be bringing my son to college in Boston. Right now, she is planning on going to Boston with her girlfriend and my son. If that is the case, I'll be at the Dells with my 4 year old daughter :thumb: I'll keep you posted.

One thing to understand about The Dells is that all the people that work there are from Scandanavia or some place like that. They are very nice though sometimes hard to understand :thumb: :thumb:

Hey everyone
Has any one heard from Black Beauty, Is he coming to the Dells with his wife.
It sure would be nice if every one who was at the very 1st Mid Central Run in Aug 2006 could make this one at the Dells in Aug 2007 plus all the new HHr owners , This is going to be a lot of Fun! Hey Pat are you getting a New Banner for the Dells. We are going to need a lot of Pics, I can see it now

Party time at the Dells. This is turning out to be Big. Now how cool is that.

Sounds like IT is Back.

Hey Pat
I guess I won't get the Trophy for the Distance I crusing in at 205 mile. :confused: :(
I should get a Throphy for having the Most Miles on an HHr that is at the Dells. :cool: :thumb: :p:

07-15-2007, 05:14 PM
It's okay Z, I won't win the club long distance trophy either because I am only going 248 miles, but I could come home empty handed and not be too upset, as long as I get the hang out with friends... Don't misunderstand, I do want to be competitive and I will be more happy if I can win a trophy at our run, but there will be some pretty stiff competition...it should be an excellent show...I talked to the police in the Dells and they are cool with us being in for the weekend, all permits and notifications have been made. I have left a message with the state park about a shelter for our cookout and should know by Tuesday and will pass that info along as soon as I know...

You are the Man, I vote that you should get a Trophy for the Hardest working man and making this all happen.

Z my brother, there is nothing more fun than putting this together knowing that I get to hang with my friends, see more great HHRs and enjoying the Dells...Hey lordairgtar, as Hills said, call the HJ Antiqua Bay Resort and tell them that you are with the Mid-American HHR group and you will get a $91.00 a night rate with free tickets to Riverview World waterpark for everyone registered, we also have discounts to many Dells attractions, a couple of cruises set and we are going to have fun !!!

lordairgtar
07-19-2007, 01:15 AM
HMMMM $91 a night? I can camp at Fishermans Luck for cheap, plus my old cabin is near the Dells and I may ask the current owners if I can borrow it for a weekend. Portage is only 16 miles away from the Dells and rooms there are about $50 a night. You can innertube the Wisconsin River from the Dells to Portage with a stop at Fishermans Luck for a cold one or two and a pound chuck steak for about seven bucks.

scaleguy
07-19-2007, 07:13 AM
lordair, sounds like you will be able to make it very affordable !!! A definite benefit from being closer, there are some great camping deals available, but we opted for a hotel for the comfort and to have access to there parking lot for the Show and Shine, but tubing could definitely be something that interest people including me...we should discuss this a bit more...

scaleguy
07-19-2007, 08:38 AM
Hey lordair would you mind posting info on the camping area that you mentioned in case there might be people looking to camp for the run weekend?
