bufbooth Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hello Wistoy, where abouts are you located in Wisconsin? I get up to Wisconsin Dells about 3 times a year. The last four MidWest Toy-Ins were in NW Illinois near Galesburg, but the location started to get old. Regarding a Wisconsin Toy-In for next year, if there is enough interest I would be willing to host, I will ping the attendees on what their interest is for next year. Later, Dennis...

Escapering Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It was nice to meet everyone in Indiana. Thanks for the RV tours and the friendly welcome. I have my full float axle at home and am thinking about installing it myself. I have to check out a bunch of things. Spring width, etc. Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiter Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 DARN - I really wanted to make this. I knew I was going to be working all weekend so I let my brother-in-law barrow the Toyhouse to goto Arkansas. Alright, I'm planning for next year. Maybe I'll make the big one out on the Calif/Arizona border in January. John Mc 88 Dolphin 4 Auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hey Dennis, you had mentioned Wisconsin for next years events... what about the Dells? I can share this experience that is particularly interesting if you have kids: As you all from wisconsin know the dells have some the greatest water parks in the USA including Noah's Ark and Mt. Olympus...Now for my Story.. Mt. Olympus is only a smidge smaller than Noah's Ark water park wise but also boasts a full amusement park and coasters that are non water based like cedar point.. Hers the great part of the deal; they offer free admission tickets for any of their resort lodging and they recently acquired a full hookup RV park. I went there this summer with family and got the following package 2 nights 3 days full hookup and 2 days passes (2 kids 2 adults) for the price of... are you ready.... $58. We had a blast the park had a huge wave pool with tiki bars right in it; several indoor and outdoor slides and many many rides and coasters. It was fantastic. Just a thought anyway....

bufbooth Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hello Totem, The Booth family visits Wisconsin Dells twice a year (like for for last 10 years), it is a great place, we love Mt. Olympus and over the summer I almost did the deal that you are talking about, but I did not have my Toyota with me, I had my Chevy truck with a cap on it, I was tempted on just getting a camping site and parking the truck. I already had free lodging, my sister has a full time trailer just North of the Dells. Besides the water activities at Mt. Olympus, they have a beach, a number of go-cart tracks, roller coaster rides, and a large wave pool. One could easily spend two days there. Also, just down the road is Baraboo that has a nice little zoo and the Cicus Musuem which is really fun to do. I will ping the folks first of the year on the interest level. The Dells even has a drive-in movie theater, can you image 15 to 20 Toyota motorhomes pulling into the drive-in! Dennis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob C Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I live 8 miles from Wisconsin Dells and drive through it twice a day going to and from work. I would love to have a ralleye that close to home. Devils Lake State park is also just 15 miles south if you want some great hiking. For the bicycle crowd, the "400 Trail" is just 20 miles west in Reedsburg, the trail is 22 miles of crushed limestone with a total elevation change of less than 40 ft.. When driving in the "Dells", be very cautious about pedestrians, and average of 2 get killed every year for stepping out in front of cars. Also, watch out for vacationers that leave their brqins at home when they take to the roads. The police are very busy with fender benders every day. I have a bunch of stuff taking up my time this summer including 2 weddings, a college graduation and manditory retirement so I may not be able to help out much with anything but knowledge of the area. The drive in would probably run your video if you could get a bunch of Toyhouses to show up.

bufbooth Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hello All, Wisconsin Dells for the 2012 Midwest Rally is a YES! It will either be the week of July 16th or the week of July 23rd. I am finishing up the details with a campground and have pinged the 2011 attendees on which week works best. I should have the final date and campground determined in the next few days and will be communicating the information here (under a 2012 July Midwest Toyota Rally thread). Thanks, Dennis B.

bufbooth Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hello Totem, I gave them a call and it was like hacking into NASA to figure out the rates. One has to ignore the lodging choices on their website (camping is not listed) and just hit Book Dates and when the screen refreshes it has three camping options. The lowest rate is $89 a night plus taxes for 2 persons and one has to book it early and a 25% deposit down to get that rate, I thought it was $40 last year). The real issue here is that one has to pay the same rate every night spent there, it is all (site plus passes) or nothing. I am currently looking at $40 a night for a very nice night wooded campground (have camped several times before), which does have some discount passes (details being mailed to me), but there is a radio station that has some great deals that I buy from each year. If I recall correctly the Mt. Olympus campground is right on the strip, which is pretty noisey just about 24 hours a day. Also, one wants to avoid the waterpark on Friday afternoon and all day Saturdays, you will stand in 20 to 40 minutes lines, go to the waterparks on Monday to Friday (before 3pm)and there usually is no lines.

Dennis... Oh yes, agreed; if they are not giving the $57 deal its not worth it for hassle of the area; though it was full hookup; sewer etc and walking distance to parks. I totally ok with the campground you have; and I must admit that $57 deal we got last summer seemed like the deal of the century and too good to be true till we were in that massive wave pool that had a bar in it.
