bufbooth Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hello All, A Mid-West Toy-In is being held on October 13th/14th near Galesburg Illinois at the Galesburg East Campground (www.allcampgrounds.com/galesburgeast). It looks like a nice place, lots of trees, full hook ups, pull thru sites, a Good Sam Park, fishing pond, firewood, propane station, pets are welcome, and about 8 miles East of Galesburg. Our group name is "Toyota". We might end up getting a 10% discount, it all depends on our final numbers, so expect to pay the full rate ($24) and if we get the 10% discount it will be a bonus. There are additional fees for more than two adults, ($2 for each additonal adult and $1 for each additional child). For reservations call 309-289-2267 and tell them you are part of the "Toyota" group. We need to make reservations by October 1st to ensure that we can get sites next to each other. If you plan on attending and make a reservation, could you reply to me at bufbooth@yahoo.com and provide any suggestions, and if there will be any children coming along with the ages, I will try to plan a few activities for them, movie night, punkin craving contest, fishing tourament, ect. Some of the activities that I would like to plan is a pot luck dinner for Saturday night, a camp fire sit-in, and a Toyota caravan on the Knox County Scenic Drive (see below).

88WIT Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Dennis; My hope was for a grand tour this autumn which would've brought me close at the right time, but for once life has intervened with happy occasions: two weddings sandwiching a college homecoming. Can't get to Galesburg even for a drop-in visit. So I'll grab a rental car in Chicago and cut a swath (and back) through central Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, northwest Pa., and western N.Y. Oct. 2nd - 12th. I'd like to contact you on that run, and any others interested in tidings from the West Coast. I'll pm Pat and Dennis (moosepucky) and yourself. You see, I was all set for Turbo Greg's redwoods event the weekend of Oct. 6th. out here. Judging from the Big Sur rally last spring, it should be melll-ow. At any rate, in spite of a leave of absence from work since March, I couldn't make the the recent SoCal or eastern Sierra gatherings, and I need another fix. Anybody out there in the fertile crescent above? My poor Itasca sits pretty, awaiting the call to a ball; the 4X 'Rader furrows her plexiglass brow, brooding over mismatched front and rear shoes.
