Hey all!
This is starting to look like a GO!
We have a bus set up and a few campsite/farms that are possibilities.
Start deciding if you can go or not, in the next few days we will set a deadline for reservations and deposits. Unsure of deposit yet but looking like around $50-60 (don't quote me yet), this would include camping and bus.
We are looking at leaving Saturday morning and coming back sunday evening.
Sound like a fun drunken weekend

Only a few days away!

So here are the final details



* As of right now we have only 1 pick-up spot. Its 1329 W. Grand, (Grand and Ogden). Please be here between 8 and 8:30! The bus will leave at 9am sharp! We canceled the Reggies pick up spot- please let me know if you were planning on using it and we will work something out.

* We plan to arrive between noon and 1pm. We will set up camp on the farm and then head to the town square for Oktoberfest.

* On Sunday, We plan on staying until about 3pm, which will give everyone time to enjoy the brewery, Oktoberfest on Sunday, or just sit around the camp. This will have us back in Chicago around 6pm or so. Please keep mind of the time, whatever you want to do...whether you wander off to the brewery, hang out at the cheese shop in town, or go for a bike ride, just be back at camp and ready to go by 3pm.



About the Bus



· There is a CD player so bring CD’s

· I “think” we can drink on the bus! So bring beer

· Its an 80 seater bus, so all bikes and gear will fit! But remember, we will only be there 1 night, so no need to overpack!

· No bathroom on the bus so 'go' before we go.

· We will not be stopping! unless someone is getting ready to poop themselves.

· As of right now tip for the driver is not included in the price- but this may change due to increasing intrest at the last minute. so toss some cash in for that if you can, or buy him (and his girlfriend) a beer or two or three!



About the Farm



* The farm is a little over 3 miles away from downtown New Glarus. We will have maps to town for everyone.

* There are no bathrooms, running water, shower (we will bring a portable shower, but water may be chilly), or lights on site!!! I will bring 1 roll of TP and a trowel (shit shovel). Bring your own water and lights

* We are crashing on someone’s private land, so let’s be respectful, keep it clean, and pick up after ourselves

* He is providing us with fire wood and a place for a fire!



General

· I recommend bringing all your food with you, unless you want to make a food stop while in town.

· Make sure you are prepared with tools/tubes for your bike!

BRING WARM CLOTHES FOR THE NIGHT, IT MAY GET CHILLY, or at least prepare to spoon with your tent buddy for body heat.


Let me know if you have any questions!!!
