Campwerks and the Fall Tour - October 7-9th '11!

[Digital K]

Hey guys!

October 7, 8 & 9
Hay Creek Valley Campground
http://haycreekvalley.com/

Campers can arrive Friday in the early afternoon and stay until Sunday Evening!

Friday: Camping
Saturday: Fall Tour & Cook Out & Hamerschlogen & Use your imagination
Sunday: TBD, Show? Take Asprin?



The fall tour is a laid back cruise through some of the most beautiful roads in the midwest.

This year's route is about 150 miles from the campsite, into the woods, and back to campsite. There are 2 stops planned, the first of which is about halfway and at a gas station. We'll begin assembling on Saturday at 1pm, with a plan to depart about 1:30pm. I'm not sure of the final drive time, but we should be back to camp around 5:30pm. Sunset is at 6:40pm, so that should give us time to get the campfires going, or for those who have to depart to pack up with a little light left! Let me know if you have more questions!


$15 for Camping ALL WEEKEND if you pre-register. (pre-registration opening soon)
$25 Day of Registration

We've got the whole camp section to ourselves! The lots will be no problem for low cars.

No food will be provided, you guys are on your own there. If anyone forgets there is a saloon with some decent food near the campsites. There is a clean bathroom.

Its possible we'll have a keg. Its possible you can probably bring your own. :cool:

This is more or less what we have:

Hooray!

[mrkrinkle]

In. I'm still bummed I missed last year.

I'm glad there is preregistration this year.

[Digital K]

just for anyone thats going to ask, the place at welch consisted mostly (read: entirely) of gravel roads. :thumbup:

[TwoTone]

In, Dibs on camping spot 99!

qft i know i wouldn't want to drive any of my cars on it

[aja]

woot woot! Let it begin - another year of carrying on wildly at the campground, and cruising about on some awesome driving roads.

[Bryce]

YEEEEEESSSSS!!!! I am so happy that we are having this at Hay Creek again!!!

[Digital K]

me too. stopping by reminded me how perfect it is for what we are up to.

[08Rabbit]

Sweet. Hopefully Amy and I can make it again this year!!

[sprstu]

My stupid brother is gtting stupid married in stupid Orlando that stupid weekend. Stupid.

[slobuny]

I'm just glad it has real bathrooms.

[JUSTION337]

Sweet. Looks like lots of fun.

[JTapper]

Tits.

[MisdemeanorMatt]

*needs a new tent

[Chase]

This sounds really REALLY fun. Anyone bringing their significant others? My GF and I having been wanting to go camping all summer and have not. I would love to pitch this to her but I am sure she will ask - "well am I going to be the only girl there?"

[Die Frau]

Awesome! Thanks for all the hard work for those who planned it!

[ejohnson]

In with the Vixen!

Can I bring some small PA speakers for a little bit of tunes?

[sillywabbit]

yayyyyyyyyyy

She will definitely not be the only girl.

Ehhhhh maybe.

Great! Looks like we will be going.

me and my girlfriend plan to be out there

[Digital K]

My bride will be there of course.

[gtiguy1994]

Quite possibly coming in for this from ND. :)

[337_kid]

Debating on this. Really want to go after Alex hyped it up at Perkins. Kels and I have class till 6 on fridays unfortunately.

[Digital K]

its all weekend man. swing up saturday morning, or fri night, I'm sure we'll all be up late friday....

[337_kid]

Yea and it's barely an hour from our house. Chances are we're in unless something major comes up.

[audivwdave]

So we can byob correct? And grilling is ok Im ASSuming.

[BimmerTim]

Yes, and yes.

[audivwdave]

Do they have grill pits or should I bring my mini grill?

[ShowCar]

Yahoooo

[aja]

Last year we had loaded up the coolers with sodas, beer, grilling supplies, smores stuff, etc! There was lots of good grilling and roasting and some marshmallow burning, if I recall. And what were those enclosed campfire sandwiches again? I can't recall if there was cheese or other in them. I'll prbably bring my little gas fired camping stove to make breakfast on again - worked out perfectly as a Perkins alternative.

[slobuny]

Only thing we didn't have last year was lights to keep us from tripping over tent tie downs.

[aja]

Dave, I would consider the mini grill. If I recall, the campsites all have their own firepit, but there is no grill rack situation. Good for tin foil pouches, but no so much for burgers or dogs.

[BlackVR]

Lauren and I will likely be there

[The_Stig]

In, Dibs on camping spot 99!

Yes! I'm actually off this weekend for once...score.

PS: Over at the godammer.

[KeithStone]

Out.

Pretty sure the picnic tables where more of a foe than tent tie downs

Yep...I was just looking at that scar this morning...

I wasn't even drunk.

[ejohnson]

Jeff you coming alone or with the wife?

[Digital K]

Out.

:confused:

[TwoTone]

Lol, I completely forgot about tobin falling over a table. Lol

[ShowCar]

:confused:
I think he's traveling that weekend.

[Bryce]

Lol, I completely forgot about tobin falling over a table. Lol

I just remember cigarette ash flying like fireworks followed by a thud.

[Digital K]

I think he's traveling that weekend.

thats too bad. what about you?

[Majend]

I just remember cigarette ash flying like fireworks followed by a thud.

i remember it happening really slow, like a giant tree falling in the forest

[9jetta6]

i may just go.

[JTapper]

Jeff you coming alone or with the wife?

Just me.

I still have to wait on her schedule before I can commit, but I have an affordable babysitter now, so I should be golden regardless.

[ejohnson]

Word, want to carpool?

[Digital K]

worlds collide. bring the bride.

[vw_girl]

I'm just glad it has real bathrooms.

I couldn't agree more.

[20VT]

I'm in. I'll take my G60 since the other Rado won't be ready.

Who's gonna bring us fire again this year? lol

[Majend]

i wonder if that guy at the bar is really gonna bring a truck load of wood he seemed pretty hammered despite it being 2:30 in the afternoon on a sunday...

[KeithStone]

thats too bad. what about you?

Yeah, i will be in Monaco that weekend.

[Casper]

Planning on it.

[Majend]

less the 50 days away!

[20V'er]

What happened to making people prepay?

Last year a bunch of people flaked out and that sort of sucked for the club to have pay the cost of the people flaking out in my mind. I just don't want to see that happen again.

I'll probably come down for Friday night or Saturday, but have a commitment on Saturday night.

[Digital K]

We cant MAKE people prepay. we can only encourage it. Making people do stuff is only going to turn people off.

[TTaM]

Ooof, good luck with that

[Digital K]

anyways...

[1FastB5]

if i can manage to get that weekend off i would really like to make the trip up for this!

i'd say an airbed would be a perfect fit in the back of my range rover :)

[aja]

I might go down and bum around those parts tomorrow if it's nice. Anyone have any roads I should check out or places I should check on? :)

[DrewC]

Sounds like I'll be able to attend. The wife as well. We'll be taking a new super-secret ride down there...

[superhero]

Don't jinx it. :thumbup:

This sounds fun I want to go.

[tobin999]

most likely. but still a little far out

[Digital K]

I might go down and bum around those parts tomorrow if it's nice. Anyone have any roads I should check out or places I should check on? :)

you doofus. you have maps of everything! wish I could go with for a predrive like this, but I work :(

[aja]

you doofus. you have maps of everything! wish I could go with for a predrive like this, but I work :(

but there must be MORE good roads! I want to find the new ones! ;) That is a cute couple getting married tomorrow - I saw on FB. Have a great one!

[Digital K]

I dunno. we spent a LOT of time driving around those roads back in the day. we wrote down every "good" road, then just found ways to connect them.

[euro]

prepaid, work is off, car is slowly being updated with new parts. October is looking good :D

[ejohnson]

So looking at the pictures on the website.... is LSD, shroom and mustaches provided at the door?

Out. Already have a deposit placed on a cabin in Hayward for the weekend. Boo.

[Digital K]

wat.

dead to me.

[The_Stig]

Paid.

[Digital K]

thanks guys :D

[euro]

i'm excited :D

[FABEL]

I feel like I'm inviting myself & GF here, but think this would be really cool to attend. I feel ignorant at times that I can only 'chat' with the group at your annual event in june, when really I'd like to just crack open a beer & hang out with fellow enthusiasts.

I'm not even sure I can make it, but figure it only helps out the club if I prepay anyway. I have no problem supporting EW, so when should I do this by? also, whats the closest grocery store to the camping site so I can just buy all my stuff there rather than drag it from home?

would appreciate someone's answer here. thanks.

[BimmerTim]

You can come down and hang out, even with a Miata. haha. No one will hate for it.

Redwing is pretty close to the campground, so there really is no need to bring stuff all the way from home.

[FABEL]

well that was fast. thanks for the reply. any weight I can keep off of my car will really help. funny you mentioned the miata Tim; we'll see how the undercarriage is holding up after H20i.

I'm thinking I will prepay this friday, do I just call them? - didn't see a direct link to pay online.

[JTapper]

Post pics of GF.

Someone will get back to you.

[FABEL]

^ you're crazy. I laugh at almost everything I see you post. :P

[BimmerTim]

No, no. You prepay us, in the preregistration thread. We've already paid the campground.

[JTapper]

I was as serious as Tim was.

My wife is likely coming too...(maybe twice)

[Digital K]

thats awesome. more the merrier. Talked to some of the sconni guys. looks like they might come as well.

[JUSTION337]

Paid!

[Digital K]

love you guys :)

[tobin999]

i'm bringing shin guards this year

[tyler]

Alex says i should go but i just dont know!

[aja]

i'm bringing shin guards this year

ME TOO! And a flashlight. I had an incident with a rouge firepit in the dark.

[JUSTION337]

Headlamp FTW

[darksideVAG]

Possibly in this year.

[euro]

how level is this area we're camping (ground clearance thought...)

[dubswede]

not a big deal.

these made it in/out without (much) fuss.

ride the ridges!

[Digital K]

its perfectly smooth asphalt on the way in, then just a standard smooth gravel path. its pretty good.

[aja]

I am pretty close to having a GREAT drive route nailed down for our group this fall! I plan to have a souvenir map to give out to at least all the pre-registrants on the day of drive. (Late comers, you get a photocopy ;)

I also want to try doing a email/phone push of an online route map - for those of you drivers and navigators wanting to follow along on your device, I salute your nerdiness! Map lovers unite! If you are interested in getting that electronic map push just before the drive, PM me your info. I'm not saying it's gonna work, but I want to try it out.

~beth

[Digital K]

I should have you a logo soon :P

[08Rabbit]

I like that we'll all have a copy of the route this year instead of having to guess where we are going if we get behind for some reason. Amy and I had a pretty good drive last year after we lost the group, but it would be nice to keep with the group the whole time this year. Is there a plan to stop and eat somewhere after the drive or will it end back at the camp?

[aja]

Matt and I have decided that we are instituting a "no man (or woman) left behind" policy. I am definitely planning in a few breaks (bio break with real bathrooms - for my lady friends!), a photo op / stretch break, and also hoping to end at a dinner place that is near the camp.

[paulzeee]

:thumbup::thumbup:

[dubswede]

Sí, I plan to.

also, I mentioned it to my father; i thought he'd enjoy pushing himself in his bmw but was unsure if anyone would oppose. I'd think he's iffy on attending at best but I figured I'd ask. He'd follow me and I wouldn't lose him. :D

[ejohnson]

Do we have the sites with water and power hook ups reserved also? Might need/want power/water

[aja]

Pete, I think you should bring your Dad. ;) I believe the Fall tour should be more of a cruise, and not a sprint. Maps will be provided, and the group tour will be at a pace where the great fall colors and countryside of Wisconsin can be enjoyed without white knuckles. Not to say we don't like the fun twisties, but a successful tour to me is one where everyone can enjoy the drive without finding their personal limit.

How the hell did we lose the group last year? I remember this, we were lost in Wisconsin somewhere over those shitty bridges.

Can't wait!

I'm pretty sure we got stopped at a stop light in Wabasha while everyone else got through and out of sight. Oh well, I still enjoyed the drive!

[Digital K]

[337_kid]

[JUSTION337]

[Majend]

Are you sure you should take the car on that drive? I mean, with your back and all...

[337_kid]

So I used this and the Amazon deal as an excuse to get a Go Pro. My thought is if you have one, bring it. I'm hoping to get enough footage to put a little Campwerks video together if people would be into that? Not just of the drive, but of the whole experience thing.

[BimmerTim]

For sure

[The_Stig]

Keep one locked on Tobin, you never know what's going to happen.

[337_kid]

Noted.

[Majend]

woke up almost pain free this morning and the first thing that popped into my mind was "i get to drive the opel to campwerks!" hehe

[tobin999]

thats not nice kyle

[The_Stig]

I meant it in a loving way.

[gtiguy1994]

Question: I am traveling almost 600 mi to be there...and looking to make the best out of the trip. I have a XR50 pit bike that I would like to bring. Are there any trails in the area that allows them? If so, any one with a bike want to join? I dont plan on speeding around the camp on this.

[Majend]

from what i remember there were only dirt trails around there but i could have missed something

[Jack]

Would anyone want to check out barn bluff and maybe do a little bit of climbing one of the days? If so I could bring my rope and draws. I've never been but I heard its decent.

[Stack]

My brother is getting married that weekend! ARRGH!

[Digital K]

glad we'll see you then! ;)

[Jack]

FML I forgot about a flight I booked a long time ago. I thought it was the weekend after this. I'm out.:thumbdown:

boooooo!

i am not looking forward to telling kara about this...

[TTaM]

When do you think the fall drive will be over. It looks like I have a commitment Sat night back in the cities.

[aja]

I think the goal will be 5 or 6 pm latest. Not sure when we plan to start off, but it isn't intended as an epically long loop. I can't recall what time we started last year. I will know better times after Sept 30th, and will advise!

[aja]

Update on Fall Tour - lots of people have been asking about times, etc. Here is the plan as of now:

This year's route is about 150 miles from the campsite, into the woods, and back to campsite. There are 2 stops planned, the first of which is about halfway and at a gas station. We'll begin assembling on Saturday at 1pm, with a plan to depart about 1:30pm. I'm not sure of the final drive time, but we should be back to camp around 5:30pm. Sunset is at 6:40pm, so that should give us time to get the campfires going, or for those who have to depart to pack up with a little light left! Let me know if you have more questions!

~beth

[Digital K]

awesome news. I'm really excited for this. its the only vacation I get this year!

[euro]

this is friday right?

[Digital K]

fri-sun

[euro]

the 150 mile drive is everyday?

[Digital K]

as it says in her post, the fall tour is on the saturday.

[337_kid]

Is the gas station E85 friendly, or maybe it could be? :please:


Trying to figure out if I need to bring fuel along.. Haha.

[JUSTION337]

Is the gas station E85 friendly, or maybe it could be? :please:


Trying to figure out if I need to bring fuel along.. Haha.
Is it really that thirsty on E85 that it wont be able to go 150 miles on a tank? :crazy: I heard the numbers you're putting down now and congrats!:thumbup:

[Digital K]

this isn't a full throttle drive. you should be fine.

[aja]

I have called the station a couple of times to try to figure out what they sell, but I guess I should not be surprised that the clerks have NO CLUE about the products they sell the most of. I plan to personally check what they have when I pre-drive the route, and yes I will change the stop location if I don't like what they have. Alternately, I can find you E85 at a different close place.

...exactly how many gallons would you have to "bring along" otherwise?? ;)

[337_kid]

I haven't quite figured out what my mpg is yet. It sure is thirstier than before, no doubt. I was planning on looking at all my E85 literature and figuring out spots I can stop on the way down there so I'll be "full" for the drive this week.

Maybe I misread. If it's like 150 round trip and I don't make it then there's something wrong with my car. lol. It just read like it was 150 mi there and 150mi back. I would need fuel if it was the later.

[aja]

sounds like you'll make it round trip then. Might be good to know some options in Red Wing though, as a pre-fuel-up option. I can look into that a bit too, but let me know if you find out more!

[337_kid]

Reading fail then. Haha. Thanks. :thumbup:

I'll take a look over this weekend. I doubt it will be a problem, I was planning on finding a place close to the campground anyways. Holidays carry E85 a lot of places around the state.

[ShowCar]

There's a Kwik Trip in Wabasha that's supposed to have E85. There's also one in Red Wing. The key is that you always need to call ahead.

[337_kid]

^^ Awesome thanks. Holidays don't have any stations down there with it. I'll have to look up the Red Wing Kwik Trip. Thank you. :beer:

Kwik Trip has a store locator function on their website. Click "looking for a specific service" to search for E85 stores.

[337_kid]

I saw that, after TickTack reminded me that there are Kwik Trips here. I always forget since I've never gone to one even though they've been opening tons around the metro.

[cooperdude]

and their pizzas are pretty good too!

[derp]

looks like campwerks will be my birthday party, also.

[Majend]

thanks to Tim and Giuseppe the opel is going to campwerks!

[gtiguy1994]

I am more excited for this then I was for eurowerks this year :)

[tyler]

Will the golf make it there. Probably not.

[Majend]

too bad, the opel is

[paulzeee]

Things are looking up for the Jetta

[Majend]

YES i can't wait to see it in person!

[tyler]

Ok so if i can get my water pump replaced in time i will be there for sure!

[paulzeee]

YES i can't wait to see it in person!

Alignment tonight. Yay

[337_kid]

So I'd like to create a 3-4 minute video of Campwerks and the experience. I know some of you have Go Pros. If you're willing to help shoot some footage, it'd be awesome if you could bring em for the cruise. I've got a video camera and some lens on reserve from school for some general/stationary shots. I'm not a film major, but have been wanting to do something like this for a while. Hopefully others going will be excited about some footage coming out of this.

[Digital K]

do you want to give the 7d a try?

[337_kid]

I would be willing to give it a shot, I've just never used one before. I checked out a video camera I've used before at school since I knew I'd know how to use it. And I'm able to check out some lenses for it as well. Up to you if you want to pack it, if you do, I'll give it a shot. Otherwise I'll be good with the one from school.

the open road is calling us...

Did the pre-drive today with Matt, and I am hoping this year's route will be a great one. One of the top pick roads is still gravel (sucks, man), so there will be some changes, but we should still have a good loop. Gas Stop has 93 Premium, no word on E86. We made it easily without a refuel, so if all are gassed up the morning of the tour, we should all make it on well under a tank.

If anyone would be so kind as to commit to being the end/last car, I would be very thankful - I'd like to try to maintain some walkie talkie communication, or at least feel confident that I could spot your car at a stop to know we have the whole group! Ponder it and let me know.

Start getting excited about fall colors too! :D

[vw_girl]

also, I have a nice old coleman 2-burner stovetop and two new propane tanks that I borrowed but I really don't think I'll be using. so if anyone would like to borrow it I can bring it along.

E86? Damn I should have held out for the new best thing instead of E85.

Haha kidding. There is a Kwik Trip in Red Wing that sells it. So no worries about needing to stop for me. :thumbup:

[Digital K]

lets try to avoid "spot" swapping if possible. it sucks for people keeping track of this stuff.

[Hart]

I can be the last car :)

[Majend]

this is very true

[euro]

[tyler]

I shall not be attending. : ((((

[euro]

D:

[juanx]

is anyone leaving the twin cities late on friday???

[euro]

yeah, i'll be leaving victoria (chanhassen area) friday evening, i haven't decided when exactly i'm leaving yet.

[juanx]

great, i'll be leaving Bloomington around 5 or 6 (more like 6)

[gtiguy1994]

leaving Minot ND, friday 7am :P

[337_kid]

Kels and I will be heading out of south Minneapolis around 2:30, 3:00 if anyone wants to cruise down together.

[Bryce]

I have not even started packing yet, ugh.

[BimmerTim]

What do you need to pack for 2 days of camping?

[Die Frau]

Not sure I can do the whole weekend away, but I think the plan might be to come down on Friday night - perhaps sleep in the car and then ride along with Tim on the cruise. Then probably come home after things wind down.

I am really looking forward to it though!

[Bryce]

What do you need to pack for 2 days of camping?

All of my camping gear has been sitting around since Campwerks 2010, so I need to dig it out. Plus my camping grill is currently sitting under a 6' pile of tires and Civic parts :crazy:.

[slobuny]

Kris an I have an event we have to attend Friday night so we'll be down around midnight. If someone wants to put our tent up for us there could be compensation in the form of Beer and Steak.

[Die Frau]

I'll pitch it, if we can snuggle and make a 'Kris Sandwich'.

[slobuny]

I can make that happen.

[euro]

lol i was beaten to it

[cooperdude]

I'll be leaving the Bloomington area (by Old Shakopee Road) around 3pm Friday, anyone else coming from this area around then?

[euro]

sure, i'll roll out with you

[darksideVAG]

I might be up there for Friday and Saturday.

[Digital K]

i think we'll be there before midnight.... but it will be late.

[337_kid]

sure, i'll roll out with you

Can we come down and join you folks?
Our intended route was Minneapolis to the Kwik Trip in Red Wing, then to the campsite.

[juanx]

Anyone to the late cruise (6pm)???

[euro]

yeah, we'll just have to figure out a realitively central meeting place that makes sense for everyone

[337_kid]

^^ sounds good. :beer:

[audivwdave]

Well christin is out for sure and I might be out also. Summit asked the old german lady to sell her stuff at the st paul oktoberfest but since she is gonna be at the new ulm oktoberfest christin is gonna work the st paul one by herself which means she will need a person to give her breaks aka me. If I dont help her she wont get a break from working noon until midnight. Id get paid too by the way. Im still not 100% sure if this is happening yet. Id like to drive down there saturday and hang out for a bit since its only an hour and 15 minute drive basically.

[TTaM]

so are we doing CBs or walkies for the cruise. I would definitely prefer CBs...

[Digital K]

I would too but I dont currently own one... :/

[aja]

We only have walkies. I hear the CBs are amazing though.

[Digital K]

maybe next year w/ more notice we can do those.
