I guess we can't be posers like Iowa then! Lol :LOL::LOL::LOL::turkey:
Iowa gets a free pass because they're 50% of the OG Midwest clan before we became great lakes.

Did I read that the application consisted of local beer and food? Anything else? Hope it's not like freshman initiation... :swear:
We were going to make people fill out a tread lightly affiliate type thing, but that was a joke. Yep local beer and food is expected.

Well i'm going to start a <midwest> Great Lakes get-together thread I guess. It might just be @pilotpat and I grilling brats and drinking MGD (I dunno, what do you drink?), but we should maybe plan a late fall thing once the LEs hit?

We could do it every few years or once a year if there's enough interest.

Anybody down?

Sometimes the midwest includes the great lakes, other times it does not, lol I originally started this in the midwest section, but it should be Great Lakes.

I'm at a bachelor party this weekend, then in Chicago for next week. When I get home I'll try to start developing a game plan.

Does Western New York count as Great Lakes region? I'd hate to be affiliated with New England... Patriots yuck.

Go Bills!
I don't think so for purposes of this forum, but you're still welcome. Anybody that shows up with a patriots jersey can turn around and go home. Bills are cool though.

Oh man, summer is quickly fading and if we're going to get together we (I) need to start ironing some things out. When somebody mentioned Toledo, I thought that would be super awesome, but I don't know how many of you all even have your trucks yet. I think we should back burner that fun idea for a time when we can have more people go tour the motherland of Jeep.

So now i'm trying to decide what area will have more success. Heading to that Brewdog brewery/hotel/museum (possibly on site camping, waiting for them to email back) would be real fun, but would also be a haul for half the folks on the list (From the list on post 1, it looks like there are about 8 people from the Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa area.).

So then I was thinking, maybe there's something in eastern Iowa by Dubuque, or Illinois that might be closer for more people to attend.

I'm personally committed to wherever. Also it'll just be me solo, too much going on for wife/kids/dog to all come this year.

Does anybody have any input? Are people still planning to come? Are you bringing family? Do you want to do some kind of trail riding, or doesn't that matter?

For example, Dubuque iowa has several brewpubs downtown, a winery, looks like there's a 20 acre campground at Miller River Park with a hiking and biking trail. Brewpub with live music within walking distance, the downtown area is like a 5 min drive from there.

FYI, i've never stayed in Dubuque, so unbiased googling results. :giggle:
