    the only thing I think that would of been nice if if the club would not have split into 2 groups. I know it is tough to keep the pack together, but if after we went through the second light in cannon falls we just pulled over for a few min till everyone cought up and then continued, that would be great. Plus that would get those video a chance to get to the next spot.

    Bill, the organization of the actual trip is going to be one of my #1 priorities! More radios, assigned "group" lead cars...I'm going to do my best to make it better!

    Last year was frustrating to say the least, but we were incident free, aside from Brians tranny/oil pan situation.

    no boost helps out a ton, lack of power means better MPGs

    on the highway I can get 350 to a tank.

    It took 3/4 tank to the ice races with lots of stops and going through bemidji and only a 1/2 tank for the rip home.

    I'm in for this again. I'm really digging the softball or kickball idea's. Something like that could get people to stay around longer after all the food is ate. :):yumyum:

    I am in fo sho! I dont know if the Rochester group would meet @ firestone or just do like last year and try to merge (minus the bad timing). Either way I'll be there!

    Also I vote BBQ, kickball, Sipa, and Thrashing a parking lot as suggested activities.

    I would defiantly go again!

    I vote for softball or kickball or dodgeball before we eat! Depending on interest, maybe we will need a few games going at once...

    As Bill mentioned, since it would be a longer trip for us, we would probably plan on staying there overnight-maybe we could gauge interest as to who would want to stay and look into potential sleeping places and nightlife in the area.

    yah last year was a good time so i'd be interested depending on the date.
    as for other things to do... softball, kickball, volleyball, pointy lawn darts? oh and arent there some frisbee golfers in the group? i'm not one, so i don't know if it would work, but maybe something like frisbee golf in that big grassy area?

    I'm sure that if anyone wanted to disc golf, Brent(AWD_PWNZ) could show them the local course(s).

    It sounds like many are interested in the kickball! I think it would work well for the fact that some of the kids that attend can play also.

    We could also do testies on the fence (polish horse shoes)
    Beer pole
    or bags...

    all easy to bring with, the only bummer is it only involves 2-4 people per game.

    Maybe it's just me, but I think that's a significant point of a MNSubaru summer cruise.

    About 2 1/2 hours from the TC's.

    About the same as the Duluth trip...and less than the Ice Races.

    that is why we would make a weekend out of it.

    you should start a thread on who would like to make a weekend of it, and then see if we can get a club rate at a local hump and stay (motel)
