While the offer from the Shipman's is a generous one, I would think that they would have enough going on tht weekend, and while meeting them is on my 'to do' list, making it anymore hectic for them is not. The proximity of the hotel that is booking rooms is what I was wondering about, and you answered that question for me, thank you. Part of my looking to room share or get a cheaper campsite option is because I really want a set of your dew wipes! So, my offer for a room split still stands, as it doesn't look all that far to go
This is what I had posted in the other thread. The room has been booked for months now. You can cancel your room.

Just an update for any campers.... we are renting 2 porta potties for the weekend so bathrooms at our place are not a problem. Showers... well we have one We have lots of space in our yard. I am not sure about plugging in a camper. We have some outdoor electrical outlets but I don't know how that works. So, we are definitely still extending the offer for any campers that need a spot. We will make do what we need to as far as showers. I can always turn the garden hose on anyone too stinky. Oh and we have wifi LOL.
That sounds like a great offer and a generous one at that. My current plan is to stay at your place and just sleep in the back of my truck (big Surburban with tons of room in the back. I really want to impose as little as possible. You guys have been so kind to us and I really want this to be a great weekend for you. I certainly can live with a hose for a shower and I'll bring a clean up kit.

Ok, I am glad you posted here with the offer again actually We were thinking that the offer was sincere, but thought it was done also just to be cordial The last thing any of us wanted to do, was inconvenience you guys in any way. You have reiterated that it is ok, so be it
What we are looking at is probably 2-3 10 person tents. This is all depending on how many show an interest in the next couple of weeks. To keep this thread from completely being hi-jacked, I started a new thread, just for plans for camping and stuff related to that. If you have any comments on camping, questions ect, please use that thread linked below. If you are interested, please go to the thread and add your name to the list!
I am super excited about this. I attended a classic car show and cruise yesterday and placed a few hundred flyers, one was even to a Fiero owner. Some were to a Scion club.

Well, my hotel room has been paid for for a couple months, and we just bought the airline tickets Saturday. So all we have to do is coordinate our transportation while in MN and we are golden!

lynxer. Since you are in the area, maybe you can plot out a 60 mile course through the winding roads with scenery in the area. At all of the events i've been to we have a small cruise and they are always a blast. It doesn't by any means need to be a race track. Those tend to get rediculous with the common accordian stretching and collapsing of the cars. The cars in the back have to drive the hardest to keep up and end up not seeing the scenery. Think you can come up with something? Even though i'm in Texas i can still help through Google maps.

Since I haven't heard from anyone including Hulki, I am not going to haul trunk seals to the show as I will have no way to get them back home on the plane. I have a 1900+ mile drive agenda this week starting in about 30 minutes. See all of you next weekend!

My replacement GT trunk seals are now in production and shipping. $95 + $15 flat rate shipping to the US (contact me for international shipping rates) or buy two and pay only a single shipping rate!

? I thought last time we talked I told you I was going to be in Frazee? I'm sorry if I didn't, I thought that was something we discussed. But doesn't matter, I'm looking forward to meeting you, trunk seal or no trunk seal.

It's called Re-civilization. It'll take time to pass. Took my best friend/ Brother close to a year. I was almost shot four times during that time.
