Midwest Meetup!

[Yooper]

Dayum.

I really, really hope I can make it.

 

[NineOfClubs]

If I was at 96 or 97 percent sure last week, well, I'm at 99% now!

 

[kevbo]

And once you get here, NoC, there's a 69% chance of.......

 

[NineOfClubs]

^ What, a spring blizzard?

 

[kevbo]

There's definitely some white stuff involved.

 

[NineOfClubs]

^ I'm assuming the white stuff isn't Chardonnay or Pinot Gris?

 

[kevbo]

And now you're introducing booze into the mix? I'm beginning to think 69% is way too low...

Well, I knew we had booze in common!

Maybe that's all that matters?

 

[kevbo]

Booze your way to my heart...

Hmm, that sounds like a good lyric...

Now, to be safe, I think I'll watch my consumption as long as kevbo is around.

I'm buying tickets next week.

It's going to be a great railroad adventure!

And Minneapolis ought to be fun too...

 

[Lube]

You're taking the train?! You'll have to tell my bf all about it. He loves trains.

Coooooool!

My big trips are never single-purpose trips, and it might be hard to get from one place to another (such as Redmond-Portland-Seaside-Grants Pass-Eureka-Reno-SanFran-Milpitas-Fresno), but I'm waiting for that distant "single destination or two" trip which can be done via train.

Maybe the train to [Fort] Churchill from Winnipeg? That would certainly be a single-purpose trip...

My farthest train trip ever was only a little over 200 miles.

Chicken! This is exciting news! Duluth is such a beautiful place... I just moved to Minneapolis from Duluth. I've been all over Europe, fell in love with Germany, and still find Duluth to be on my top 5 places list.

 

[frankfrank]

^ I agree, I really like Duluth. Certainly a gem-in-hiding that isn't all that well known, because it's very difficult to get to.

Of course the climate sucks, though...

 

[Yooper]

Duluth is a pretty town.

In July.

As long as you are wearing heated socks.

Do they still have that drive in church on the top of the hill?

 

[kevbo]

Sooo, I'll probably be up on March 6 going to the Saloon or the Eagle or both with my friend for his birthday if anyone wants to join up!
