Hey, Spencer:

So far, we have 5 buses attending for sure.  It is February 18th at Pokagon
State Park in Angola, Indiana, near I69.

(http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/parks/pokagon.html)

It has a cool toboggan run that is refrigerated.  You hit speeds of 35-40
mph (Almost as fast as a Diesel Westy!) on the way down.  There are electric
hookup active and according to the park, we don't need reservations as we
will probably be the only campers in the park.  Also have Frost Free water
fill and pit toilets.  Showers are not available.

We are making a pot luck chili for all to share around the fire.  We will
have some guitar and harmonica music with some chunky 4 part harmony when
we're not playing John Prine or Nickel Creek on the box.  At midnight, after
a few adult beverages, we are going to concentrate real hard as a group and
see if can't send a message to the Volks at the True Canadian Winter Bus
Campout which is being held the same night in Ontario.

We would love to see a bunch of buses at Pokagon, so all are welcome!

 By the way, it's 26F at Pokagon right now.  Who needs San Diego when you
can do Winter Camping in Indiana!?
