I was hoping for Chicago in 2010 because it's easily within driving distance from here. I'd pull out all the stops for a Midwest Meet.

I have a very flexable holiday schedule.

Maybe a mini subsim meet in Chicago?
Lets say, for fun, we did this. How much time would you need to prep for it (take time off, etc)? I'm aiming for mid-May or Mid June.

Too short of notice?

My work partner is going on sabbatical during that time for around a month, so I want to go before he leaves.

Jason as you know you are always welcome at Che' August. I may be gone the latter half of May as I am planning to do some work up at the cabin but except for that time frame I should be around.

@gimpy

I had to check the map and you are close! So, here's a crazy idea. See U-505, drive up to Milwaukee, catch the ferry to Muskegon to see the USS Silversides.

How much is the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon?

The Cobia is pretty cool, but it is farther north.

I'm seriously thinking about this and seeing colonial stuff. we have a new engineer, who lived in Concord. So he's giving me iseas on how to plan this.

Pricey. But Not too bad for a one-time thing. The 150 minute trip is half the time it takes to drive around. It is comfy though.

Lake Express.

Looks cool! That is spendy and waaay nicer that the Seattle ferry (which is cool).
