Huzza! We're back in the game!
As to be expected, Winona proves exceptionally fruitfull on this 2 year Anniversary Weekend!
That's right. This weekend will mark the completion of 2 Years of Appleseed in Minnesota!
Can you believe it's only been 2 years?
September 6-7, 2008: How many of you remember that weekend?
A quick refresher can be found here: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=3780.msg36380#msg36380
This is sure to be a splendid occasion!
There will be lunch offered; kmk, can provide a little more details as to what it will involve and whether it will be voluntary donation or regular fee. Either way it beats the heck out of packing a lunch and/or one of them MRE's a few of you sometimes bring!
Also, camping is available on the premesis. I encourage all who are able to pitch a tent! Hopefully, someone will bring a fire-ring and some wood to burn.
Mike or Kevin; could you post some detailed directions?
I remember, there was something amiss the last time I was down there. IIRC; it was something to do with the sign being changed.
Let's make sure that we can all get there bright and early. Campers will enjoy the sun rise over the hills of the east; highlighting the fog in the valley's below. The sunset accross the farmlands to the west is a sight to behold as well.
-I wish my camera wasn't broken.
I hope to see you there!
Aftermath
Rock on!
Would love to be there, but I've felt the calling to assist WI in breaking in a new venue in Michigan. Good luck and good shooting down there! I'll be working to expand our territory!
edit: (shoot, that was a secret squirrel mission and I just told the whole board! :wall: )

AAAWWWHAHHHA!
Now all the flesh-eating-flying-zombie-paratrooper-monkies are going to know our most secret plans! They will surely kill us all! **)
That is unless we can make 5 new Riflemen this weekend!
Minnesota! Do you have what it takes?
