I like that location it's further east than I wanted but it's at a good spot where a lot of highways intersect three a few colleges around there as well. What do people who will be travel from ohio and Canada think of it??? I sans attract some canooks if possible

ok thanks! see its easy for me i am in york so all of what i would call the middle ground is fairly close to me. for personal trips i do not like to drive much more than 4-5 hours away, for work i will drive 18 hour days and think nothing of it haha, but things are different when ur wallet is swelling as the clock ticks.

well my idea for it is they got crap for kids to do... vs say madness where i no suggest it... hell set it up for july.. make use of pool too... they have a mineral/rock dig/wash plant... i did stay there 1 night.. was pleasent.. just look at their activities..
sadly its not "huge" as most of the place is filled w/camping trailers.. their oil boom has lots staying there..
owner also does waste cooking oil.. his son i think has a 60s bus camper they been restoring.. and he likes his old vw diesels too...
theman... bad attitude... less then 250 miles from me... no pa toll rd... things for your kids to do... dump ol lady at bar/pool... your set to be free..
i figure good 1st few show type of thing... will outgrow fast... but the old grumman plant less then 10 min away... they got huge lot... just need to do one and form a gtg backbone to grow it with..

Says it is 345 miles from my place. That is around 6 hours 1 way and probably too far for more than just me. The wife and kids couldn't last that long in the mk2...heck not even in the MKIV. If it was somewhere near Erie or Youngstown I bet it would be better for the MI and Canadian crowd...me too.

6 hours isn't too bad, where i was initially hoping for which would be more around clearfield would be about 4 hours for you, which i think is very reasonable, also about 30 minutes north of clearfield is st marys which another nice little town. these are all towns i have done work in (god help you if you go to any of their hospitals, as i have serviced their equipment.) But chris has found somewhere that sounds very good, and easy to get to, plus they are definitely vw friendly, i still want more people to chime in, no word from any canooks yet. hoping for this to be a fall or spring thing since summers are just too busy already. i would hope 2 hours extra driving wouldn't keep the man away. but please everyone tell us how likely it is for you to come whether it be because of location or a certain date range.

If everyone else is doing it I will too, I would love to meet 8v in person, so if Jer is in then I will do it, nothing like peer pressure.
If you do it spring I probably would for sure. Right now I have a TDI issues to handle, no biggie, but....I have to get the other car going before bow season, I have a room framed in my basement that needs insulation, drywall, and then painted right now, I am adding onto the shed 15x21 and I have to finish tearing down the lean-to so I can move the dirt for the base of its floor...All this by end of september. Once fall starts I head to the woods to kill bambi and only have so much time for that. I pretty much live for bow season, even more than VW's, so sorry guys.

!!!! So your love of vw diesels is greater than your hate for restless children and wife. But we are still waiting for even one Canadian to chime in

Aw hell, I guess I'l be there too if 8v is coming. Maybe even with my Rabbit, as if I don't hope for that enough!
Canada shout out! If Trev can lure out theman he can lure some of our northern neighbors I hope!

yea this will be cool fer sur...hey trav,too bad that place in bellefonte i told u about burnt down...they had an awesome german restaurant....i def want beer brats and kraut..it just wouldnt be right without it
(the place that burnt down was an old 1800s hotel called the bush house...creaky stairs,lumpy beds and all..cheap tho,like 45 a nite.lotsa character)
springtime may be better,it would probably guarantee a bigger turnout

you would think that... no way this fall.. would be 2013...
what ive found with local gtg... spring dead... fall... its like summer over so bigger attendance...
yea fall = back to school...
yea spring = end of school...
fall = football... baseball...
kids more busy in spring... basket ball/baseball... finals...
so no matter what.. there will always be a reason to not have it... just make up a date.. try min 6mo in advance... then scheduals can be planned.. just rember keep it simple... 1st one will always be small... 3rd-4th biggest... 5th cools down... or gets insain like h20 or something... then imo looses fun..
