Oh I wanted to come, next time have it up here in Northern Calif, you all can eat at Denny"s and I am sure the fire station would put all up for the week, we could all fish, talk on the radios, , go to the gas station and play with the air hoses, for those more dareing you can go up and down on the Lube rack, there are many things going on up here, we can go to the movies after the post office closes and we put up the sheet, sure would like to see you guys, now remember you guys First Sargant is mine. |

Pueblo CO, to Walcot IA, 939 miles!!! And I was going to do it anyway, but then the better half reminded me it was Easter weekend. Gosh Darn It!!! I don't know if anybody remembers, but last year I brought up the idea of a Copper Fun Fest at Copper's location or in the same town during the summer, is this still a posibility??? Or not? I would definately be there. Just curious. 73 DAN |

Triplecguy,
Yes, I remember your post.
As it takes a LOT more Planning and Time to set one up for more CEF Member's, the COPPER FORUMMASTER is looking into having the 2nd ANNUAL CEF GATHERING in LOUISVILLE, KY. for next year.

Well I guess I could let KB have 1 or 2 of my Oreo's. He may just need the energy for the walk home.
Wish I could be there. Have fun everyone and don't forget to send me some pictures or maybe a video. (hint hint) |
