Luap,

I'd be interested, if the date would allow.

Optional?

Probably you won't be thrown out if you forget your binders. :boozing:

Hmmm, that's only a couple or three days ride from me; I might be interested if I'm not elsewhere in a different direction.

Well, there seems to be plenty of interest for sure.  I'll definitely keep you all in the loop.  A lot of things have to fall into the right place to get this to happen this year, but you all sure give me motivation to make those things happen.

Stay tuned...

Sometime with cool nights would make the camping nicer...

Thanks for considering this event, Luap. It sure would be cool to put faces with names.

Yes, Dusty...but I just retired on the 10th and a whole bunch of possibilities have just opened up. Besides, Luap has done a bunch to keep this forum rolling and it just seems like this would be a particularly great event to undertake...

I was thinking about the Louisiana gathering in Homer, but my mom has been quite ill. I can't really schedule much right now. That said, Cedar Vale is going on the wish list...

OK all, the grass is growing nicely. So, I think we'll do this thing.  Here's what I have in mind.

* Let's do this labor day weekend.  Labor day is on 9-5-2016 (Monday).  So I was thinking folks could ride in on Saturday (or Friday if you desire) and leave out on Sunday and still have an extra day to recover or travel if needed.
* No fee.  You will get your moneys worth  :evil:
* There are no showers, but I will build an outhouse in the next couple weeks.  I've always wanted one anyhow :-)
* There's plenty of room.  Plenty of trees and shade.  You might want to bring a folding chair.
* Consider this a primitive camp out with a twist.  We'll rustle up some grub for you and you'll ride by dozens of beer stores to get here.  I have one in mind that I'd love to see everyone use.  Joy's country package on E hwy.  She's a lifetime friend of mine.
* I have a 50 yard gun range that is next to where we'll be camping.  If you want to go bang bang. This is why I choose to live in the country  :grin:
* You'll be riding on at least 1 mile of gravel road.  It's not too loose, but if you're not comfortable with that, I wanted you to know right up front.
* No RV's please.  Pickups and cars are ok. 
* No pets please.  We have enough territorial dogs to keep us all protected.
* This is probably not a suitable environment for children.
* There is a creek about a mile away that could keep you entertained and cooled off if our pool is not ready by then.
* I have a 32X32 shop we can setup as HQ.  Put some tables and coffee pots in there with the food.
* I'd rather not put directions to my house on the world wide web, so if you're completely interested, please drop me a line at Luap@wildguzzi.com and I'll shoot you some directions.  Please let me know who you are and where you're coming from.  Maybe even a phone number in case I have to cancel, reschedule, give updates, etc.

Hey Luap, do you have wifi @ your house? Some of us have a tradition of going to the Spriingfield mile that weekend. If we could watch fanschioce tv out in the yard we might make an exception. And it would keep some of us occupied and less obnoxious on Saturday night. :boozing:

Yes and no.  We have Hughes.  It sucks.  Not good for streaming videos but otherwise decent enough for the basics.

Any hotels nearby? Now that mine's running, I was thinking about taking the wife and some time and going up to the Blue Ridge...but the Ozarks are pretty fine too. The wife might camp for a night or two but she'd much rather have A/C and a good shower. Plus we'd trailer up, she couldn't make the 2600 mile round-trip on the bike.
Something wistful and amusing, yet poignant.

Motels in Bentonville AR (20 minutes from here) and Cassville MO (30 minutes from here).  Lots to do in Bentonville too.  Walmart HQ, visitors Center (really neat), museums, eateries, etc.  Nothing much to do in Cassville, but it would be less expensive to motel it up and the ride would be a lot nicer than going to Bentonville.

Yah!  Terrific news.  Looking forward to it. 

I may pack along some old S&W revolvers.  Maybe some Colts too.  Maybe even some weirdo Lugers and Swedish Nagants.
