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. :arrgh!:

I have a very flexable holiday schedule.:hmmm:

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.:hmmm:

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.:hmmm: 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.:hmmm:

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. :yeah:

Lake Express.
