They do not have their own website that I know of....The campground is part of the LC county park system all the info etc is on the LC county website   http://www.co.la-crosse.wi.us/Depar...chures.htm

A whole week of fishing, friends, and outdoor cooked food. Can't get much better. [Great weather would help too] I'll just have to save up some extra $$ for the extra nights at the motel.

I plan to be there!

Where is eveyone?

I think it is awesome that you guys have had this meet for ten years...all on your own...no support from nafc. It would be nice if they could support the meets...just commit one page in the magazine to this meet. I wish I was closer...I'd love to attend this but I'm a little to far away for my old van. Rod Tender, make sure you or one of the folks there post a bunch of pics for us here...and catch one for ol' mo!

Thanks for the kind words..
We'd love to have you join us ! your in Ohio Right ? Turnip and Scott are making plan to make the meet. check with them maybe you could car pool with them if their interested

mo65,,... NAFC Admin have been asked to visit and be at this meet. None so far, for any length of time.

I know it is too early for food menus at meet. Back in 2005 in town of Coon Creek, WI. I went looking around for fun of it.
Was a BBQ Rest. that served "All you can eat Ribs".. on Weds. night. Don't know if they are still open....just a suggestion to anyone
who may want to venture out for evening meals.

Hard to been Jerry's cooking anyhow.
