I just mentioned going out to dinner to Michelle and her eyes lit up! So we'll plan on meeting at Gary's campsite @ 6 pm and go from there - count Mike and Michelle in!

If you're looking for a tasty, inexpensive place to eat, try Charcoal Inn. You will want to order the "steak sandwich."
If I try to describe it, you'll think I'm describing a fancy hamburger -- but it's SOOO much MORE! Ground beef (sirloin?) fire grilled, on a Sheboygan hard roll. Now add a plop of butter, ketchup, mustard, onions, and you have it!

Charcoal in is on South 8th street just south of Indiana Ave. Fantastic!

Current Weather Bug forecast for Sheboygan Wisconsin:

Today - Rain until noon then OK until 5 which may have a brief shower then rain should hold off until about 9. Going to rain until about 3 AM

Friday - Going to be awesome. No rain scheduled and High of 61 at about 4 PM

Saturday - High of 43 at about 3 PM with showers starting at about 8 PM and continuing until 7 AM

Sunday - Rain should stop about 7 AM and we may get a chance for things to dry out but rain is in the forecast starting about 2 PM in the afternoon. High temp. 46.

All and All this is not going to be to bad a weekend. :applause:

A friend and I are planning to each build a teardrop trailer this summer. We thought it might be nice to come to your campout and get some ideas and to find out what we should add and maybe pass on when we start out projects. I am wondering if this would be OK with the group also on how many camp you are expecting?

You are more than welcome. Tearjerkers are used to people wanting to come and see our trailers especially when there are a group of us. AS I stated in an earlier post we especially like to meet future camping friends. :D

I will be out the door in about an hour. :thumbsup:

Check to make sure you are bringing everything you need..Most of us know a "Always Ready " former SeaBee who showed up with the frame of his easy up but no top. I don't want to embarrass him so I won't mention Glenn's name. 8)

I'm bringing along my winter coat but only as a precaution. Don't expect to put it on, but............... :worship:

See you at the event

Welcome. Yes it is OK to visit with us. Spend the day, stay for dinner. There is always plenty of food. Bring your camera to help remember the ideas you want to keep, and the ones you don't want to use. Looks like there should be about 24 trailers. Lots of variety including home built, factory custom, cargo conversions, little ones, bigger ones. Something for everybody.
See you this weekend,
Grant

It looks like we will be heading up Sat. If we are there for dinner what should we bring to share? I realize that it's late and most folk are there or on there way, so if I don't hear back it will be dessert.

Thanks
