Frankenmuth this year
 

Who's going? I registered today.

Well, since you're going I guess we will too. As long as Kathy comes with you, she's a lot of fun, you, not so much. :p I got my registration in the mail the other day too but I always register online. Still debating taking the motorhome and staying across the road from the Bavarian Inn instead of paying $400 to stay at the BI. Lynda hasn't driven the motorhome and doesn't want to. She can't drive a stick and doesn't want to drive the Chevelle. That poses a problem getting both of them up there. Either way we'll be there Tony, with the grill so we can cook some burgers and dogs. :drunk:

Cool Hank. Can Henry drive the MH up? I did the online registration too. I may take the Nomad and the 34.

He'll probably have to work on the Friday. We'll figure something out. You need to bring 34 if you can. Show off all the hard work you did on it.

Kids have been bugging us to go. They loved it, so I guess I will look into it.

Bring them up, but keep them away from Hank. He's a bad influence.

Do you know grumpy ???

Tony is right, and who would know better than him! :butt1:

A few thousand cars, some good friends, some grilled burgers and dogs, maybe even a beer or two. What else could you ask for.

a place to park and a place to stay. lol

Hank, bring the rolling turd up Thursday night to get a real good spot. I can give you a hand if needed.

Can't help with a place to stay but there's plenty of room to park if you're talking about the Chevelle. You can join our gang if you want. Start calling for a place to stay, I bet you can find something. I hear attendance at CB 11 was about half of what it was 2 years ago. I think the economy is keeping a lot of people at home.

You just want my room at the BI. Not sure what we'll do. You keep trying to get a room Ric. If we do take the turd you can have the room but like I said, keep trying.

I just got a room at the Fairfield INN by Marriott on main street across from the Frankenmuth Brewery....the best of both worlds. Leslie is very happy so that makes me happy.:banana:

My problem is that we need 2 rooms, one for us and one for the kids.

That's great Ric. Now you can hang around for the big block party on Friday and cruising main street on Saturday.

Ok, back to the bricks is behind us, we need to start planning for Frankenmuth as it is 3 weeks away. Who's in?

Kathy and I will be there.

Still trying to manage squeezing Frankenmuth in.

ill be there fri and sat where does everyone park?

We wont be there but maybe someday after someone tells us what it is .

flash has so much on his bucket list. Maybe we can get him to take 3 weeks from late August to Mid September. That way he can do the Woodward Dream Cruise (which I know is on his bucket list), then maybe Baker's, some of the local cruises and finish up with Frankenmuth. We could find a lot of car things for him and Joan to do here for at least 3 weeks.

Ms Grumpy ,you sound a lot like Joan . And I like the way you are thinking ,three weeks of car stuff would be heavenly.

Hank,
We as your friends have it all worked out, We will meet at your house at 5:00 A.M. We will load you in Tony's Nomad Bowtie smiley and strap you down on a back board in the back ( He has installed special straps to hold you in during one of his many 5000 RPM that he is enjoys doing). For you listening pleasure everyones headers will be uncapped and we guarantee your subdivision will be talking about you all day. Ray, Brian, Eric, The Grumpys and I will all caravan up there.


When you get there in about a hour you will have a special golf cart (see pic) waiting for you that has a build in with plenty of your favorite RX's:beer: We will do our best to make you comforable.

We have worked it out with the city of Frankenmuth that you will be able to use the Cass River for all your bathing needs.

You in?

If Hank aint interested come get me.

This is really bumming me out. I'm going to miss sitting around with my buds, drinking a beer, grilling some burgers, checkin out all the cars.

At some point every day, I sit here and think, "I broke my butt! I can't believe I broke my butt. Nobody breaks their butt. People break their arms, legs, wrists, etc., but nobody breaks their butt."

Getting close. Who's gonna be there? What time are you guys planning on arriving? I'm leaving here at 8, should put me there at 8:30. The line at registration should'nt be too long then.

And it was a pain in the ass !

Tony, we will probably be there, but we are not taking the car. We are looking to get the starter replaced and that weekend is looking like when it might be done. The kids really want to go and they will bug us until we head up that way.

From what I have read you guys should be pretty close to the same spot you were last year.

We should be in the same area. Stop in and say hi.

Ray, are you coming up?

The starter should be here tomorrow. So let's keep our fingers crossed.

Great! I hope you can make it.

I wish we could be there but we are leaving for Maine saturday evening via Nashville for the first night ,then to Ohio .From there the plans have not been passed on to us yet ,but Niagara Falls have been mentioned .

Tony, I can meet you there at 8:30...if not to many people show up I think we should grap a space in the same area just along the fence...If a lot of people show up then we should get the same spot. I'd like to see us all line up as it would be some good photo ops. I'll bring my Chevelle tent.

If you hear from Ray, tell him that there is a big Ironing Board sale in Frankenmuth during the weekend and it would go with his new Iron that he missed "back to bricks" to go buy.

It's to bad you are not leaving two days earlier, as Frankenmuth is only about a 45 mins out your way if you are heading to Niagara Falls if you are going through Port Huron via I-69. In fact you are driving right by Hanks and Ray's house, then a 1/2 up the road you will go by my house and then anothe 1/2 right by Tony's. If you thinking about going into Canada VIA Detroit I would advise not to and take the 1-69 route up to Flint then to Port Huron.

My Wife and I went to Maine a couple years ago, and it was great...loved driving up the east coast. If you go to Niagara, go to the Candian side as it is much nicer than the US side, hate to say it but it's true.

Cant do the Canadian side as we dont have a Pass Port .
