I have no probs with 25 Oct but 1 Nov is out for me...Deb is home the day before....I could ask if she wants to go though.

Also Scott, we need to sit and chat about next years JK Fest. The core group set some stuff up, and we are going to have to get a touch more serious about it.

what i was thinking is we form a small committee of members that give some time and we meet once a month though out the winter
Ideally members should live along 401 corridor so that we can go on rotation to meeting locations or find a centralized areas and meet up. and plan it it out
November till June to plan it up. plus there is work to be done in the back woods lot to make a very technical section winter time work is best for this. I have already started to plan the on property obstacle trail.

That is a great idea. One of the issues right off the bat we ahave to consider is the weekend we are planning it on. It looks like we may have a lot of Americans..and the 4th of July is not a good time.

Also most of the guys I spoke with said that they didn't want to tent it and would prefer hotels. So we would need to call some hotels and try to get a group rate, and inquire about trailer parking since some of them are trailering their Jeeps up.

Spring was the general consensus since the bugs are brutal in the summer (especially up that way), fall they are planning Rausch Creek part 2, so spring is probably the best option.
