I'm going to PM Kuchar09 and see. I know if we do it the 13th my uncle is going to drummond that day. There are also some local guys that might come as well. We can push it into a Monday if you want. I just don't know what all is going to work for you Brent.

Also bringing this back up for Cabins and what not. Do we all want to stay at the same place (not the same Cabin)?

Same place will be cool. I'm going to have the wife and kids with me. So if a date can be locked down I'll need to get reservations in a cabin.

Ok. Waiting on a Response from Kuchar09, and we will go from there I guess. I personally would like to do it July 13th just cause my uncle will be wheeling on Drummond and he knows the Island pretty good.

As far as cabins I don't need much. Cheaper is better for me.

I also PM'd a local guy he said

Not sure what my schedule is besides that and depending on how busy work is can determine the rest of my summer trips.


There are a couple more I will PM and see. But if we do it the 13th and 14th My uncle will be up and wheeling on Drummond.

Caleb, thank you for the invite it sounds like a good time. I won't be able to make it this year, as the wife and I are going to be using most of my vacation time property hunting. So I will put a bug in her ear about it for next year. as long as we get her jeep done this year I am sure she will want to go so we may be stuck with a jeeper, but I am sure you will all welcome her too...
