Wisconsin area events, parking lot parties and social gatherings

The scout camp is across the lake. There's a ramp and 5 or 6 sites. Pit toilet, no showers. And the lake appears to have plenty of largemouth bass!

 

Perfect!

how did you find that? I’m not seeing it on any of my regular maps.

 

I was talking about the Pipeline with a coworker who is familiar with the area. I mentioned that I was looking for spots to camp and he suggested it, along with some other spots.

I can't seem to find anything about it online. I will have to check for information at the campgrounds when I get up there. I saw some people camping there a few weeks ago, and they definitely weren't boy scouts.

 

I was able to find this online... https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5330974.pdf

 

@Thatbassguy I'm interested in some wheeling action on 7/10, won't be camping though. I'll watch this thread for the plan

 

Im interested in camping both those nights, if not too much of an imposition. Let me know what I need to contribute. If you want to convoy up there on friday, let me know when you plan to head up!

 

We'll meet at this park and ride at 10:00am on Saturday:

And probably meet somewhere similar on Sunday morning if anyone is unable to make it Saturday.

Let's talk Thursday and see what works. I might head up Thursday night if I can get out of work early enough. You're welcome to join me. If Thursday isn't going to work due to stupid work, We can roll up Friday.

 

I may come up either the 10th or the 11th. Not sure yet as I have a ton going on at work.

 

Awesome, looking forward to it!

 

What radio's are most using, CB or GMRS. I don't currently have any but looking to possibly pick something up. Any suggestions?

 

I

I have both, so I’m good with whichever you choose. Last year we were all using CB radios.

 

An inexpensive CB is ideal. Eventually, I think we're all switching to GMRS. But, most of the people I go with are on CB.

I'll have to check out your GMRS setup.

 

Mine is just a basic handheld, you can get a 2 pack of the Midland GTX series for around $75. We tested them here in Madison and got at least 2 miles.

 

Might have to grab one of them. I should look into getting a license for that.

 

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I still need to do that!

 

I got my license about a year ago and never bought the hardware. So you can be part of my family lol.

Looking at this cb

Think it'll work ok with the included stubby antenna? I'm not looking to spend a ton or permanent install as it would probably only be used for these outings.

Thanks for the info so far guys!

 

My CB is ancient. For the trip last year I bought the cheapest magnetic mount antenna they had at Farm & Fleet. It worked fine for me.

 

I ran the same CB for a year or 2 with a magnet mount antenna. It was fine. We really don't need a ton of range for what we're doing.

 

Who is all camping Friday night?

And, when is everyone heading up?

I have to attend a funeral in the morning that I suspect will last until noon or 1. I'm also expecting some goodies on Friday, but I will probably just head up after the funeral unless the stuff arrives before I get back from the funeral.

If anyone is going up earlier, let me know if you're willing to secure us a site and save room for the rest of us.

I'm pretty sure @Pixeltim and @McSpazatron are heading up Friday. I can't recall who else, though.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!!

 

I'll be meeting at the park and ride Saturday morning.
