We can “hope” but I have lived in the Great Lakes area long enough to know, they have trouble predicting the next day let lone several weeks. If I make it i will be accompanied by a rain coat and warm jacket. +++ and maybe a swimming suit.TomC

Hello Mike B and Rene.
Real glad yall will be making the trip to Argos 
We will be putting up out tent three weeks from today .
Not to be a downer but they are also calling for tonight to be our last frost. I am going to have to call BS on that one at least for here. Two years ago there was still snow on the north side of my shop when I left for Argos.

Last year on Sat night moved my cot to a place in the tent that wasn’t being dripped on threw my coat in a dry corner and went to sleep. When I woke up put my feet in a little water. Went to grab my coat it weighed about 50 lbs turns out that dry corner was the low spot

I’m shooting to get there Thursday evening.
I should probably figure a way to set up my rocket stove so I can make coffee

How about the idling contest after the parade?

I am exploring my options for trying to come to Argos this year.
Curious if anyone is passing through western or middle TN (pretty much anywhere between Nashville and Memphis) who would like to ride share.
If we are able to work something out, I would pay half the fuel (or provide a metric ton of sawmill slabs, if you prefer).
PS: If you are coming a long way, I could provide an overnight camping spot near Linden, TN (that invitation is open to any members passing through these parts)

REMINDER: if you are coming to Argos, and you’re not on the RSVP list, please put your name down! We like to anticipate how many to feed etc. Plus, for insurance reasons this is a “private” event, so having a list of names really helps.
RSVP here: 2016 Indiana Woodgas Meetup | Argos, IN | May 19-22 - #3 by Chris
Good morning all.

Nothing like morning coffee at Argos! My wife has shingles this spring and will not be able to make it this year, so no wife, no Dolittle, just a long lonesome road. I’ve been going back and forth from Arkansas to Indiana since 1953. The roads are better, but the traffic is not!

Sorry to hear that! Shingles are no fun. Tell her she will be missed (as will Dolittle!)
