- Sounds like a great idea to me! We could probably only manage to get everyone
- together once a year though, since we're so spread out. We could probably
- manage "regional" trips more often than that.
-
- I'm hoping to get to Cadillac MI on the 4th of January for 2 or 3 days -
- Cadillac is reachable by 4 or 5 of us. Yes, the 4th *is* a Monday, but my
- wife works weekends, so I can usually only go through the week. Also, the
- date is *tentative* - the transmission went out on my truck last Sunday, and
- I've got to scramble to get it repaired in time. I can always take my wife's
- truck, but I hate to leave her alone at home with 3 kids and no transportation.
-
- Also, as of right now, conditions are marginal there.
-
- We could plan for something later in January so we'd be sure of having snow.
-
- We could also plan a longer trip to the UP or Wisconsin's Northwoods - that
- would be within range for the Minnesota folks. Kind of far for us southern
- Ohio boys, but I've wanted an excuse to get to the UP for a long time! ;-)
