AIR Midwest : Midwest Forums Rally 2006

[CanoeStream]

Thank you Jack! I know you'll keep us informed. Lookin' forward to what your dealer can provide in terms of programming -- and downright normal info sharing.

I just noticed on my profile that my only TV is a 2002 Subaru Outback wagon. Such is the fate of no travellin' in mid-winter! Bet that doesn't stay up long................................ My goals in the next couple nights is to get Susie to see if her legs fit Ford or Chevy better. She sure liked the adjustable pedals on the Titan. Remember guys & gals, keep the heck as far away as you can from those high-impact airbags!

Jack, Can One Still Attend Even If Say Their Trailer Can't? I'm Not Sure Yet Weither Or Not I Will Be Able To Tow Mine By Then, But I Would Like To Attend And Meet Some A/S People From The Midwest Area. Ed

Sure, come even if your not in an Airstream! We have lots of aluminum foil on hand and have a specially trained crew that can turn most anything into a silvered beauty. Our problem is the riveting. We seem to have problems with applying them to canvas.....

Regards,

Jack

We're in for coming to Moraine, too.. I just added us to the attendee list on the calendar page.

We'll volunteer to be the movie screen and popcorn supply again.

Luna said it TICKLED HER to show movies on her side, but she'll be a happy camper and do it again.

I'm looking forward to June; it's a loooong winter and it's nice to have something fun on the horizon.

We are interested in coming down from Chicago for the weekend and although we are not super organizational freaks (beyond knowing how to fit everything in the AS perfectly for long-hauls), we were interested in the agenda for the weekend. If it is very loose with lots of personal time for fishing etc that is cool just let us know. This will be a good follow up to our Easter Arizona trek in April. Looks like past events have been a solid time for all.

Silver Swedes,

Erikson & Sloane
Jensen, Ellison, and Ranger

Yes there is lots of free time. Essentially the only organized activities are the campfire and movies, the open house tour of trailers (if you wish to participate) on Saturday after 12:00 PM and the 6:00 PM potluck and campfire that night. Feel free to participate in what ever you want. This is a nice campground so explore to your hearts content.

Regards,

Jack

And don't forget that Bloomington is not far away at all, for shopping and restaurants, if wanted.

We won't have to leave the Rally for Special Olympics this trip, (different weekend) so we'll have more time to do nothing.. which is a GOOD thing.

A few of us are going here on Sunday after the rally for a few days.....sort of a post or extension of the main rally so to speak:

Though this place doesn't take reservations, it's a pretty big park. Anyone that wants to come is very welcome to join us. We'll be caravaning out of Moraine View to Savanna which is about 2 hours away. It's also near Galena and Grants home:

Ummm.. greetings to Valhalla...

something you should know.. you're not the only Swedes around and heap big Oly didn't use very much lighter fluid. It was a funeral Pyre. (kidding)

Vikings are fire-builders extraordinaire :-)

But when we get around to talking about food, we are NOT going to go Scandinavian. One round of Lutfisk and/or Kroppkakor per lifetime is ENOUGH.

Now I'm expecting a comment from Norbert's Peanut Gallery ;-)

HAIL NO.

ROMMEGROT (SOUR CREAM PORRIDGE) / Serves 64 dl (1 2/3 cups)
35 percent fat sour cream
about 3 dl (1 1/4 cups) flour
about 1 1/4 liters (5 cups) full fat milk
3/4 teaspoon saltPhoto by Per Eide and Bengt Wilson
From The Norwegian Kitchen Sour cream porridge with dried meats was festive food in the olden days and is still considered that today.
Sour cream porridge must be made from high fat (35%) natural sour cream, with no stabilizers or gelatin added. For the best results, use homemade sour cream. Heat 2 1/2 dl (1 cup) whipping cream to 35 C (95 F), almost body temperature, then whisk in 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Let stand at room temperature at least 8 hours, until thickened.
Simmer sour cream, covered, about 15 minutes.
Sift over 1/3 of the flour. Simmer until the butterfat begins to leach out. Skim off the fat.
Sift over the remaining flour and bring to a boil. Bring the milk to a boil and thin the porridge to desired consistency. Whisk until smooth. Simmer about 10 minutes, and season with salt. Serve with the fat, sugar and cinnamon.

hi chris

welcome to the forums.....

stockton lake is really nice and far enough from branson to make the area inviting....
nice lake, nice people and simple camping areas too.

the rally in question is near le roy, illinois.....
use map quest to find it.
from lake stockton it isn't a simple or short trip....
more than 400 miles one way.

basically you would need to go south
from stockton lake, to springfield
then take i44? to st louie area
then i55 over to normal/bloomington....
the ralley is just south east from there,
near le roy, illinois.
it's a long trip even by interstate.

come on up anyway!
the more the better!

cheers

We moved from Michigan to Marion, Iowa in December, so are much closer. We have just signed up to attend. Will look forward to reservation information. See you all there.
