Yooper Brewday this summer?

[azscoob]

Wondering if I get the wife to stay home I could just ride the bike there. 45 MPG vs. 17 MPG. Harder to bring beer but I'm sure I could figure something out. It does have hard saddle bags.

Sidecar :rockin:

Or, invite your dad and use HIS car and gas! We like your dad, so that would be a win/win!

Don't forget the food!

Hey Yooper! I'll pitch the idea to my wife. Depending on how it is looking up there as far as space we could bring our pop-up camper. We do have a big (dumb but lovable) dog we'd bring too So we going with August 6th?

 

[Tiber_Brew]

Yoop, are there any seasonal roads or two tracks required to get to your place? Just wondering if I should take the WRX or the truck.

It is the U.P. afterall.

Well, it's not REQUIRED to get there, but I bet you could find a few if you were lookin!:cross:

You don't have to look far for one when you're in the U.P.!

Hell, I take my snowmobile to work sometimes...

Dumb lovable dogs are always welcome! I haven't heard any complaints yet about August 6, so that is my date unless something else works better for a majority.

I think the snowmobile trails are mostly closed to other traffic, and the Watersmeet ORV loops don't make it that far. You'll have to bring a "real" vehicle! I think it's M26 that goes down to US 45, and it's a nice way to come.

Haha, I wasn't looking to rally my way there; I was just asking because the Subaru has low clearance.

WOOHOO I am welcome then.

 

[Homercidal]

I think your Lovable Lab and our Loveable Lab would get along great if there were any chance in hell that I'd bring her on a week long pop-up camper vacation in the UP.

 

[MyNameIsPaul]

I wish I could make the 1,445 mile trek to brew with the master Yoop! I've never been to that part of the country and it sure looks pretty!

 

[lschiavo]

Glad to hear there will be a second annual! I had a great time last year except starting the day with a bit of a hangover and then once it wore off having to leave too early. I will bring a tent this year and spend the night.

We can probably rustle up a bed for you, but if you like a tent, then of course you can do that.

Well I won't refuse a bed but I would not put anyone out. We will see when the time comes. Plus a night outdoors always seems to make me feel better in the morning

As you know I used to hunt in watersmeet with him when I was younger. That was many trips there and back with him and his ****ty driving. I would like to leave that behind me and not do it again thank you very much.

 

[Odawg]

Hi Yooper, yeah, a brewday sounds great. Last years' was great times! Like Leon, I may have to pack a tent in the car this year myself.

Bob just told me that your dad apparently made it from the bridge to Watersmeet in three hours one time! I said, "But it's a five hour drive!" and Bob said your dad apparently went 80 miles on two-lane roads to get there. HAHAHA!

Absolutely!

Yes, we made it from GR to Watersmeet in under 8 hours in a one ton van pulling a 15 foot trailer. I tried to sleep most of the way. Figured if I was relaxed I was more likely to survive. lol

The willamette are up, and the centennial is just poking up out of the ground! I hope you can make it- that would be great!

 

[conpewter]

Looks like I'm out We have a cookout at our house that day apparently.

That's too bad. I wish I could make up there for the big party. We're still on for the week that Kim goes to MTU, and I doubt I could drive up for an additional weekend (but maybe I'll hint about wanting to go up there for the brewday too and see what happens. Maybe if I give backrubs and save up gas money I can afford to go, both financially and marriageally.) :cross:

 

[Misplaced_Canuck]

So is there an official date? I browsed back 3 pages and didn't see it...

It's on the first or second page. August 6th I think, or the next weekend if that one doesn't work out.

Homer, when are you going to Houghton?

She's going up week of July 17th-23rd. We're probably going up the Friday before and coming back on Sunday after.
