JDSleds / SHOF Ride with the Champs

Post by 400brian »

My plan right now is to arrive in Horicon Friday morning, and meet up with the guys for breakfast. I'll roust Campbell out of his motel on the way through Beaver Dam.

I really would like to be at Wanie's Thursday night, but the family is hostile about two nights away, three is a deal breaker.


:(

Plan to do the Ride with the Champs. Don is going to be our champ!
Have a room in Eagle River. Thinking we should ride to supper Friday night.

Shall we make firm plans on Friday evening dinner somewhere? If I'm given a number of attendees I'd try to make reservations somewhere. Are most of you in Eagle River or St Germain? We'll make it where most are staying it looks like it's only 12 miles or so. Either use this thread or my email: bison1112002@yahoo.com to let me know. Favorite places to eat????? let me know. Don

I've been thinking about this Don.

We really wont know how many or what time until Friday evening.
We all need to have a little confab on the subject, before we leave Horicon.

Assuming we drive directly to St. Germain for the HOF dedication;

We can park our rigs at the HOF, do the party, then later saddle up for a ride to Eagle River. The reason is this: The IL gang, Troy, and no doubt others, are coming to ride, as they haven't seen much snow.

Eagle River and back, is a reasonable length ride. I suggest the Hiawatha Supper club, easy to get to and plenty of sled parking area. There are plenty of other choices as well.

There are a bunch of us staying in Eagle River, but if we stop at the HOF first, we have to drive back to ER anyway, it doesn't matter if we have been there and back on sleds earlier.

I'm not trying to run things here, just offering some suggestions. Like I said, we need to have a confab before we leave for the great white north.

I have been trying to read between the lines here and decipher what is going on and please correct me if I sound like a Richard Cranium here.

It sounds as if there is going to be another reunion at the HOF like last year on Friday night? John Deeres guys specifically?

I will cast my vote and would love to ride from Eagle River to the Hall of Fame if this is a plan and back to Eagle River, that is if you old dogs wont be too sore in the morning..


:o ..Liquifire is rubbing on the side of the trailer as I type this, maybe it can find a moose or some other critter on the ride or on the way there to setting itself down a bit...I hope not!! :lol:

Hell I dont know what is going on..lets ride. :ph43r:
