Hey, Spencer:

So far, we have 5 buses attending for sure. It is February 18th at Pokagon State Park in Angola, Indiana, near I69.

(http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/parks/pokagon.html)

It has a cool toboggan run that is refrigerated. You hit speeds of 35-40 mph (Almost as fast as a Diesel Westy!) on the way down. There are electric hookup active and according to the park, we don't need reservations as we will probably be the only campers in the park. Also have Frost Free water fill and pit toilets. Showers are not available.

We are making a pot luck chili for all to share around the fire. We will have some guitar and harmonica music with some chunky 4 part harmony when we're not playing John Prine or Nickel Creek on the box. At midnight, after a few adult beverages, we are going to concentrate real hard as a group and see if can't send a message to the Volks at the True Canadian Winter Bus Campout which is being held the same night in Ontario.

We would love to see a bunch of buses at Pokagon, so all are welcome!

By the way, it's 26F at Pokagon right now. Who needs San Diego when you can do Winter Camping in Indiana!?
