More yakking! I’m coming to Mt Rushmore!
C the C, do we have a fairly good head count?
Who, if anyone, is coming early in the week?
I’m arriving Monday (formerly planned for Sunday, but I moved everything up a day) 6/7, so I’ll have a few days to do some sight-seeing. Interested primarily in photographing the wildlife and scenery. Could bring an AR-15 if anybody is interested in shooting/plinking. Wouldn’t hurt to put 100 rounds down range. But I can just as well leave tha rifle home in the safe.
I’m willing to meet up with any early stragglers if they’d like, and I can just as easily go solo the first few days. There is so much to see, I don’t think I’ll be able to take it all in. But I can try.
Our official group meetup days are - what - Saturday and Sunday? (6/12 and 6/13)? I’ll be in town before that, of course, so I can meet up with others.
I’m going to message C the C with contact information. I don’t know who’s handling that if anybody. But as freeQs in good standing, I think we can be somewhat trusting.
That’s all for now.
I believe we have at least 1 local involved. If so, I can share info there also.
I am glad that you will be able to make it.
Unfortunately, I think there will only be a handful of us.
No one has Freepmailed me to secretly tell me that they are coming. The reverse is true. People have Freepmailed me to tell me they have to bail for one reason or another.
Unless a number of people have Freepmailed Defconw secretly to say they are coming, the only people we can count on are the people who have recently posted on this thread something sort of specific about their plans.
I had asked people to keep Defconw in the loop, as she is the one who knows about the restaurants in the area. I don’t know who has told her what.
I will be arriving late on Wednesday. I am not traveling alone, so I cannot easily speak for how much I can get together right now.
It was Saturday the 12th that we were primarily going to meet up. I can plan to have that whole day free. On Sunday, I must allow time to take my aunt to church or I will never hear the end of that. Since I will have driven through five other states to get to S.D. and five states to get back, with a stop for a few days in Sioux Falls, I was sort of planning to not do much running around on Sunday because I don’t want to get exhausted.
I would need to first be able to plan for who needs what kind of pick up or drop off to the airport and what the arrival and departure times are for that before making other plans for getting together outside of Saturday.
I suppose it is possible that some people reading this thread may plan late in the game to fly in for the weekend now that we have offered to do pick-ups and drop offs. If you are planning that, please try to book someplace close to where Meyer or I are staying so we don’t have to run around too much.
