? Update the former plans for Friday night climbing, any 'camp overs',, and Sunday climbing. Details for all asap to clarify uness it's now just a one day event. |
|
is there any place to camp on site? |
|
George, you will have to contact Juggler directly for that. He's at Michigan ice fest next few days..There is room out in farm field for tents, but a porta-potty facility is still needed for the event. I know nothing more about that yet,,keep asking but no decision yet. |
|
there would defiantly have to be at least a porta potty to get me to drive to Illinois, and some vegan chili at the chili cook off would be nice. |
|
I did a vegan (not even chicken) stew last time out,,,not a chili fan here either. I'm looking at least to come up with one of those small boating porta-pottys to have inside the old barn for use. But a regular size rental one is what has been suggested to those in charge. |
|
you make sure there's a potty, make me some vegan stew, and show me how to ice climb and i'll drive out there. |

Also, the chili depends on YOU. Since each person is supposed to bring their OWN batch of chili, whatever you like to share. Hope you can make it. Thanks Joel |

is this just a one day thing? is there a website? |

Last bump' I'll do here. Thanks for contacting me George. I'll see you here late Friday afternoon I guess. Camp or stay here if you wish,, we will climb for sure on Friday night and all day/night Saturday too. Vegan stew is in the works for Saturday night group meal, bring your favorite fluids and other foods, snacks for rest of weekend. All gear will be available. Keep in touch. |

We are all set. Plowing is done, Ice is Great and food is ready to be cooked! C u there! |
|
Ready for climbing Friday night. Forecast is for low 20's on Saturday, with light snow in afternoon. Ice is thick, at least 5 topropes are set. Moved the extra couch outside for comfy viewing. Microbrews will be available to satisfy your thirst. Warm pot luck dinner on Saturday night, before the night climbs continue under the lights. Looks sweet for sure,,,all is finally ready. HUGE snow plow pile for those who want to dig out a large snowcave for something different to do with their tooltime! |
|
Today- Come on out- Great Ice in IL! |
|
Great weekend,,didn't have a huge crowd, but lots of fun, great food and excellent ice. In recognition of the Fab'4 coming to the US 50 years ago today,,,we had eneless background Beatles music playing most of the day and night. A festive time..thanks to all who came out, participated and brought great food and snacks for all to enjoy. |
