They are closer to me as well Jen :-) .....but don't forget Hood Park in Cuba...it is not overly large but it is a nice park Dan Jen <justjen@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: v\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML)}o\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML)}w\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML)}.shape { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML)}st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) }The parks we are close to are Onondaga and Meramec. Onondaga has new sites. Matt and I was checking it out since we heard they put in a whole bunch of sites last fall. We were very surprised by how many new campings sites there were all with electric and water. Seemed that all the sites had a paved drive also. There used to not be any electric or water there. They also have a very large new shelter (something else they used to not have), however we forgot to stop and see if it had electric. I don't know if any of you have visited Onondaga but it is definety much nicer than it used to be. A lot of work has been done there that is for sure. In case you all would like some place new to go. Just a suggestion. We're open to suggestions (hint, hint) :-) Any opinions on these parks since they are the closest to us? What dates in Sept. are you all open to? Since there seems to be a Decatur picnic and Oktoberfest already in Oct.?

But the 15th would work for us. I wonder if September might be a better choice to avoid Oktoberfest. I think you need to pick a location that is convenient for you. If you pick a good camping park we will probably spend the weekend.

I got you signed up... Now, just sign here and here and here and we will send you more forms to sign.. Seriously, that is great! You need to come up with a date in Sept or October. I would check with Glenn since he has not made one in a while, hopefully we can schedule it on his day off! :-) I think October 22nd is Decatur's (Central Illinois) Picnic. I know several of us will be going to that. I vote for the 15th of October!

(to drown :-) LOL Matt and I have talked this over and think we want to give it a shot. I hope someone can help rescue us if we start drowning!! Sounds like a challenge that will be fun to do. So we are officially volunteering if nobody else wants to step in for this. Please let us know for sure whether you would like us to do this so we can start planning. We like to plan way ahead of time for things. Never too early to prepare I say.
