WHAT: MN Fall Wingnight 2013
WHEN: September 27-29
WHERE: Lake Rebecca Regional Park Reserve....Sarah Creek Group Camp Site

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU ARE INVITED!

*It is a 2 day camp out at a private site, at Lake Rebecca Park Reserve in Rockford, Minnesota. You will not be charged for joining us at the group camp, but we will gladly accept what you can donate to help cover the cost of the site.

*You may arrive anytime on September 27th. Plan to camp Friday and Saturday with departure on Sunday. You don’t have to camp. In the past many people have come for a day or even a few hours. Whatever time fits your schedule you are welcome!

DIRECTIONS:
Use this link for directions. Rebecca Park is the one along the Crow River furthest to the left on the map. (Hold your cursor over the green for directions.)

This is the park map with the Sarah Creek Group Camp marked in yellow.







*Potluck will be on Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm. – please bring a dish to share! The variety of food is unbelievable! Many people cook on site. There are no grills. There are two fire rings with grates. Bring what you need to prepare your food.



WHAT'S AT CAMP:

*NO electricity. (Bring a lantern if you have one.)

*A water pump is located on site. There is a latrine building without running water.

*There are some out buildings to use for cooking and shelter from wind, rain or snow should the weather be less favorable. After all it is MN!

*Picnic tables, yes. BYO chairs.

*LOTS OF BWCA.COM FRIENDS TO SHARE STORIES WITH!!!


PADDLING:

*Lake Rebecca is very canoe friendly. No motorized boats, electric only. Feel free to bring your canoes or kayaks and your fishing gear.

HOUSEKEEPING REMINDERS-

*Please Leave no Trace!

*You are responsible for yourself, your family and your guests when it comes to keeping a clean camp. This includes the latrine building and things left (tossed) in the woods. (Sounds like a no-brainer but. . . .)

*Recycling bins are available for all recyclables.

*Garbage cans are on site so you don't need to pack-it-out.

ANOTHER NOTE-
If you are someone who wants to go to bed early or sleep in late, it is recommended you camp away from the fire pits. Socializing tends to go on around the fire pits both late into the night and early in the morning.
RSVP:

We would like an idea on the number of people planning to attending.
How many? Camping or not? What will you bring for potluck?

Feel free to ask any questions if something was missed!

Thank you.

You just gave me an idea!

I could hide the apple pie, then give you clues like a treasure hunt to find it! You and Tony could race to see who has to share!

George/lesley and kiwibird will NOT be attending.
We will be at our" BEE RV" Rally in Kansas then on to Utah for a total of 6weeks.
BWCA.com is our first life,RV in a 24ft Motorhome is our 2nd.

Leaving Moose Lake after a loop trip with my son Saturday morning, plan on arriving at Rebecca Park mid afternoon, leaving Sunday. Looking forward to the galvanized tub and fire ring and what comes with that.

Gotta work BUT you know I'll be there to help set up and will show up after work. This is the true Great Minnesota Get Together.

Can you get some more money funneled over to Big Marine? : )

quote jb in the wild: "Hay Tony, do I call you BOSS? I work at Baker."

Nah, but you can call me "commissioner". I'm on the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission, which serves as the citizen advisory body to the Metro Council on parks and trails issues. We deal with the very "high-level" planning and policy things, like plan where in the metro lacks a nearby park or trail and should therefore have one proposed nearby, review and approve all master plans for acquisition and development, and draft the policies for what is eligible for various types of funding and review and approve specific grant requests for compliance with those policies. All "operational" matters like overseeing individual park staff, managing the park units, and conducting programming are the responsibility of the "park implementing agencies", in this case Three Rivers Park District (which also has its own board of commissioners), making them and Superintendent Cris Gears your ultimate boss, along with either Margaret Dahlof or Thomas McDowell depending on your position. :)

quote inspector13: "Can you get some more money funneled over to Big Marine? : )"

We approved an acquisition grant for a parcel in that park in June of last year , and another one last August. Non-acquisition costs (development, maintenance, and operations) are allotted to each park implementing agency by means of formulae that can be found in a little light reading called the 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan (Chapter 4) and the statutes referenced therein, and then Washington County decides what portion goes to that particular park reserve, so for further action beyond that call up your county commissioner!

Thanks for the invite Kendra!
I'll be there!

I'm planning on being there. As long as work schedule doesn't get in the way.

You can pencil me in for Saturday and Sunday. Great scheduling because the Packers are on an early bye Sunday, September 29th! :-)

Unfortunately I'll need to set the DVR for the Wisconsin-Ohio State game Saturday night. :-(

Hans Solo

Not sure we can camp this fall but count us in for Saturday potluck at minimum. 2 adults + ?? Not sure what the teenagers will be up to that weekend....

Barring some serious negativity in the job situation -- I will be attending. Wavering on Friday-- but certainly most of Sat and for the pot luck. Likely will bring my smoked chicken wings and blu cheese sauce.

I'm a maybe.
I may be doing a trip either that week or the week before - pending weather.

Did someone say apple pie???? I'll be there.

tony

Hey Kendra, I know OT. Where'd you get the foam for those big marshmallow pads of yours?? Looking at throwing together some makeshift pads. Pete

So wish Matt and I could go... but 9 months pregnant and sleeping in a tent don't seem to go together very well... can't wait till next year!!!

OK Kendra - you twisted my arm , I'll be there. Making grilled cheese for the kids . May have a new tent. My TAJ 3 is MIA.

Still missing Iz? Bummer! Suppose you could sleep in the truck again. Or you could use my Taj 3 if you want. I will be using my other tent.

let me know. You are more than welcome to use it.

quote izzy: "OK Kendra - you twisted my arm , I'll be there. Making grilled cheese for the kids . May have a new tent. My TAJ 3 is MIA."

I'll set mine up for you I'm going to sleep at home. I have to work so I wont be sleeping at the campground.

JB

quote Papinator: "So wish Matt and I could go... but 9 months pregnant and sleeping in a tent don't seem to go together very well... can't wait till next year!!!"

Was wondering about you guys...Show us some pics!

My TAJ 3 has been found and returned. See you at Wing Nite.

jury is out but perhaps I will be there.

I will be there for the duration.

The weather has been so nice we may not need a fire but I'll still bring the firewood.

looks like i am bringing the prism friday after work and staying 2 nites, that is the plan now.

After a little chitchat, Matt and I decided we will try to make at least a day trip for Saturday!! :) I want to see everyone so badly, hehe. We may hammock it Saturday night depending on the weather! Woot!

Tried to come last year but couldn't swing it. I'd like to come this year so I will check calendar. I have a couple of questions for those who regularly attend. If I were to come for one night, which night would give me maximum opportunity to meet other members of the board? Is there a potluck one night and if so, which one?

Would I be welcome with my puppy? She's nearly 16 weeks old now and fairly quiet at home. However, she is still a puppy and hasn't yet been to "Youth Shaping" class (ie, puppy school) so she requires vocal and other corrections at times. Next weekend will be her inaugural camping trip with friends on the Namekagon River so I'll have a better sense then of how she might behave. I won't consider coming with her (so me either) if she doesn't do passably well then. I would, of course, keep her on leash and under control as much as possible for her and me so she doesn't bother others. That leads to another question. Is the camping space large enough that my tent could be a bit away from everyone else's? I don't mean real far (>50 ft.) but perhaps 20 feet so we aren't right next to another camper. She needs a bit of room on-leach/rope to move around a little. She also likes to check things out and can quickly find things to do or chew if they are nearby. Also, is there a good and easy walking area for her?

hi there.

i would say saturday is the night to attend.

the potluck is saturday afternoon.

dogs are welcome and you wouldnt have a problem finding a tent spot for a lead that long.

walking trails im unsure of.

hope to see you there.

btw....cute pup! our springer kelly is 10 now.

Lots of paved trails near the campground. By the way, I'll be there saturday and I'm a sucker for springers.

Canyon, Ruger an I will be there

I'll be in the UP. You all be careful.

hope everyone has a great time!

I'm very sorry I won't be able to make it again this year. I have a first birthday party to go to in Spooner that Sunday. I checked distances from Duluth to Rebecca L. and then to Spooner then home and it's just more driving and in-car time than either Addie or I want to do.

Have a great time everyone.

bumpage. its a great outing.

Lots of driving to do between now and then... But I'm hoping to be there.

will not be able to make it.

Is there a maximum vehicle height to enter the park?
Jon

quote Primitiveman: "Is there a maximum vehicle height to enter the park?

party RV? :)

no height restrictions.

We have approximately 30 coming so far! There's room for many more!!!

quote Kendra: "We have approximately 30 coming so far! There's room for many more!!!

room for 3 times that!

Getting out off BW Tuesday or Wensday, but still planning on being there Friday night, have to see how the branding goes, do I need to bring burn ointment?

less than 2 little weeks now.

Saturday is looking good! We'll see what happens

quote ducks: "Saturday is looking good! We'll see what happens"

Sorry, I will miss it again. Taking a later than usual trip this year due to some family traveling.

I'll be ringing in my birthday the Thursday before somewhere around Lower Basswood Falls. You all have fun and hopefully I can make it to the spring event.

This sounds like fun and a great opportunity to meet all the people that have been so helpful. Im not sure how I haven't seen this before. I'm giving it some serious consideration.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll be going. Thats a pretty busy 5-6 days for me. I have a developers conference that I need to drive up to Bloomington for on Wed night the 25th, and then drive back the 26th evening. Turn around the next afternoon to drive up to the meet then drive back on the 29th, then Monday the 30th classes start for me at Oregon State online, but I think I can squeeze it in. :)

Jan stop scaring people!

The TRUTH is, most first timers comment on how friendly people are or how comfortable they felt at their fist Wingnight!

We welcome all newbies!

Finally one that doesn't conflict with anything on my calendar! Now to convince the wife this is a priority...

Ok, Im making plans to be there with or without a partner. It's been a long time since I paddled a canoe. Who's going to take me for a ride? :)

OK, there is plenty room for many more of you!!!!

all are welcome!

I will be there! Looking forward to seeing all of you. Wife is in Okinawa and Rowdy is at my sister's, so I will be solo...

quote Corndog: "I will be there! Looking forward to seeing all of you. Wife is in Okinawa and Rowdy is at my sister's, so I will be solo..."

great news ray!

I'm pretty bummed out... Because I had to go East before going West hauling boats I'm behind schedule and won't be back in time for Wing Night. I hope this winter I'll recoup quick enough from my upcoming surgery to be able to enjoy a mini wing night somewhere. The good news is I'll be spending a couple days with kids and grandkids out in Washington. So have fun and don't eat to many mooseplums. :)

Lisa and I will be on a canoe trip that weekend. :) and :(. Hope you all have a good time.

We're hoping for lakers on Lil Sag.

Will try and post a wing night weather forecast within 48-60 hours and see how I do a week out. Right now looks above normal temps but may be a bit unsettled. Piece of energy in the atmosphere at 18,000Ft (the weather "highway") that should be affecting the Upper Midwest over next wk-end is just off the Japan coast now and complicating matters will be the formation of a likely Typhoon in the central Pacific-- when and if that happens is huge.
keep ya posted-- excited to attend.

it begins a week from tomorrow. :)

Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. See ya next week folks.

There are a bunch of you I'd love to meet, since I talk to you every day. But, my wife and I will be up at the cabin. have fun. Somebody needs to bring some muskie gear and give it a go.

Lundojam, you can go to the cabin any time!! Wingnites only come a couple times a year. Come on!!

Im still planning on it. Carol wants to stay in hotel with the little guy plus she needs wifi to do her school stuff. Anyways if I get there after 11 pm Friday will anyone be up?

Looks like rain should impact wingnight --- right now looks like overnight Fri into early Sat. Doesn't appear to be a gullywasher. Just a minor inconvenience. Hopefully the cold front will (should) be through and clearing will be in progress for the potluck Sat Pm. Temps should be very close to 80F on Fri cooling to the 60's on Sat.

Pretty excited to meet everyone! I ordered one of moosetracks used thermarest pads thinking I could use it for this trip and then hand me down to my wife since shes better on hard / cold floors (think japanese tatami / futons ) but it hasn't arrived yet. I hope it gets here in time!

Woot! .. If not .. I'm all set anyway and will adapt. Here's the deal .. stranger showing up to the meet and I don't know a soul.

Have a great time everyone... and hopefully we'll make it in the Spring.

Does anyone drink beer at these things? I picked up a 12 pack of Spotted Cows yesterday and decided to take a week off of work after the TC Marathon to paint my house instead of doing it this weekend. So I'm in if there will be beer. How about a game of touch football in the rain on Friday night?

oh, we drink beer. mr.barley cant make it (frown), so there wont be free beer like there has been in the past...pack accordingly. football? no thanks.

There better be alcohol at this event or I'm packing up and heading home! I didn't sign on for a church retreat. :) Ok I think I may have just crossed the line of internet anonymity.

I'll be byob for the record. Beer is ok in a world ending type scenario but since the worlds not ending I'll be packing my Seagrams 7.

With no Mr Barley isn't it just going to be all iced tea and Mountain Dew? I should've got more Spotted Cows.

Looks like ducks and the smallest duckling will be there Sat afternoon and staying for the potluck. Looking forward to meeting everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The older duckling is home from school today w/ a minor case of pneumonia so we will probably have her hanging low and resting this weekend.

Unfortunately, due to several business obligations, I won't be able to attend the Wing Night event in Rockford, Minnesota this weekend. :-(

Hopefully I'll see many of you at Izzy's Elk's Club Bowling-Wing Night in Milwaukee on January 18th, 2014!

Until then, take care and I hope all of you have a great time this weekend.

For those heading to WingNight today-- the rain looks to be done. Should easily be able to bs around a fire tonight.
Sat early/mid AM looks wet.
Should be there around 4ish today.

I have family I havent seen in years coming into town this weekend. Good thing is, it isnt for a funeral. Bad thing is, I wont be coming to wing.

Have fun everyone and post some pics!
