2017 Fall meet discussion

[HipMF]

My co-workers were dismayed to learn that I'd never been to Devil's Lake, so I would have at least two reasons to attend this event.

I've lived in Madison over 7 years and haven't been either...

[Rekpoint]

Lol and here I am going to Devils Lake on the 29th lmao

[i_love_cars]

I'm in for Devil's Lake cruise.

I'd be interested in Devil's Lake too, haven't been there in quite a few years

[straight6pwr]

interested.

also, based on all the online dating profiles of women from Wisconsin, there should be like 1000 of them there taking selfies from the bluffs overlooking the lake.

bee tee dubs, your poll is useless. pretty sure all of us who voted on the first version cannot re-vote on the ninja-edit.

Interesting insight on the poll,  thanks, I will figure out a solution for that.

lol @ the selfies comment. Anything but the duckface

I took the back roads between Baraboo and Madison once and they were great. Currently I am liking the idea of starting at Zimbrick BMW in Madison, and ending at Devil's Head or Devil's Lake if there is no fee to get into the picnic area on the south side, I have only entered via the north entrance where the campsites are which requires a park pass. Any info on this?

The BP Station in Black Earth would be a good brief stopping point mid-cruise for any fuel or bowel evacuation needs and to re-congregate

This is still very preliminary of course

There isn't much room at zimbrick without them clearing out the customer parking for us. Not worth their effort if we arent hanging around there for the afternoon like we did a few years ago. There are few different parks I could suggest based on the routing. 

[B C]

Thanks for the heads up there. i had planned on contacting them tomorrow and feeling them out for permission/heads up and seeing if I they wanted to participate somehow. I dont want to be a burden or an inconvenience though so I will look elsewhere

[Iceddragon]

I could definitely make it to an october cruise at devils lake, so I'm in.

[P_Roloff]

I'm in as long as I can get home from school for the weekend.

[B C]

Glad to hear you guys think you will make it, hopefully some of the lurkers turn out as well (Dmitry, i'm mainly referring you [emoji14])

Look forward to an updated route map and details this weekend
