Deciding between driving over all week or setting up the trailer. Eric, whats the name of that trailer park off Chicago Dr over by your house?

If Jeremy is going, I guess I'll probably have to go too. I wouldn't want him to make the drive without a tag-team partner or two...

Count me in. I'll be there w/ a bag of cheese and a couple coolers full of the good stuff. Keep me away from the shots. I'm too old for that!

Whatever, wuss...What was that stuff we were drinking Saturday night? I can't even remember the name of that bar. The crappy reggae music, I remember though.-:t

I plan on coming too, camping with the 5ver.
If you want me to bring anything, (cheese, brats, beer, .....), let me know.

I'm gonna do my best to make it, but May is a busy time of year for me. None-the-less, it's gonna take a lot to stop me from getting their.

On a side not, don't stop at the rest area near Saugatuck off of Interstate 196. Don't make me explain, just trust me.:uhoh2:
