Susan and I would like to host a lunch at Brodhead. We plan to be thereThursday evening and depart Saturday for Oshkosh. We were thinking abouthaving brats and hamburgers Friday around 11:00 to 12:00. Any takers pleaselet me know. We will have our motor home parked in the SW 40. It's a greenand white 37 foot Itasca. We would also like to have friends join us inOshkosh (Camp Scholler) for cocktails, date and time to be determined.Can't wait!JackDSM________________________________________________________________________________

Jack and Sue,I'm VERY new to the group and especially the forum, and this will be my first visitto Brodhead. My girlfriend (Robin), my son (Scott) and I would love to joinyou all.My girlfriend is from Wisconsin, so I think we should contribute something local,and propose Brandy Old Fashions for later in the day. We'll contribute anything else you deem worthwhile upon request. Funds, son'slabor, whatever.I'll be coming in a motorhome as well, hoping to show up very early Thurs morning.If we can reasonably co-locate, perhaps the extra kitchen might be of use.I also have some extra space in the coach, so beds are available for whomever mightneed them. Thanks for the invite, very much looking forward to meeting everyone!MikeRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Welcome Mike. Hope to park on the very SE corner of the field, next to thewhite fence to the south. Shown in the attached picture C-37 and labeled"Drive-in camping". My earlier post was incorrect with SW. Also shown nearthe top left of the picture attached. It will be nice to have theadditional help if needed. We should be there close to noon Thursday. WithMatt's pot and help we will start boiling the fish...brats (sorry) Fridaymorning. With Matt's grill and ours we should be able to get them cookedpretty well. The Piggly Wiggly is making them fresh for a Friday morningpick up. Weather permitting I will take the Honda to pick them up. Keepyour fingers crossed for FANTASTIC weather.JackDSM -----Original Message-----

Jeff,Looks like fun. Very cool and congratulations. Mine ended up a little thick on the tips also, as I was afraid of getting it too thin. But if you look at some of the factory props they get pretty thin at some of the edges.Dan HelsperPuryear, TN-----Original Message-----

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I've got a question that is related to Jackslast post. If I were to drive out in an RV for the day (Friday/Saturday),could I expect to find reasonable parking? Here is my situation in a nut shell...Planned to hit Brodhead while staying in Rockford... have 3 nights reserved.Picking up a rental car in Rockford and returning in Oshkosh the following weekto get around a bit easier.Suddenly have a new addition to our group (Mother) who said... "let's get and RV",which we did. So... if it would be possible to drive it out for the day in the RV I would liketo do that for her convenience/comfort... but if parking is slim pickins I'drather not fight with it... we'll just bring the rental car. I know what theregular parking area looks like... kind of tight at times, but I don't recallwhat the drive in camping area looks like.Please advise.
