Also, where do we all plan on meeting Saturday morning?
Anything happening the Friday night before?

Meetup at Target Parking lot in Cottage Grove (address below).
Head down to Winona around 9am.
Here's the address for the Target if you want to Mapqwest or Google it.
8655 E Point Douglas Rd S
Cottage Grove, MN 55016
Regarding a restuarant - If it's alright with everyone there's a place called Jeffersons that is along the river downtown Winona. They have good food and good scenery plus they can accomodate a good amount of people depending on how many make it out. They also usually have good looking waitresses as well. I was thinking that I would take a head count a week before and then get us some reservations. There's a nice spot close by on the river that would make for a good photo as well.

As far as Friday night, I think that Steve mentioned having a BBQ but that I think that was about it.

Whoo, this list is growing pretty quick. Winter must have been longer than I thought! Might have to up our estimates. Even if half the list shows up that's still a pretty good showing! It will be one huge caravan if everyone makes it out though! Alright, let me know if I got everyone. For any New adds go ahead and put your name on the list and repost it.

Damn, that list looks very nice. If everyone shows up, it'll make for an awesome meet. Hopefully the weather gods are on our side Saturday 
Actually, looks like they pushed the showers back from Friday to Saturday. I don't really trust the 10-day forecast, as it's never been correct, so hopefully it turns out to be nice.

Jake, it looks good. Just kinda funny that only two people (you and I) write in it and that one dude is "maybe" attending.
I'm sure that even if it rains, we'll still most likely meet up. But this will be decided by Steve, Dave, and all the others as well.
We'll keep this thread updated with any information or changes, no worries man.

Naw, I think we still go for it. Chances that it rains all day are pretty slim. Actually just checked the weather for Winona next Saturday and it says 56 and partly cloudy. We'll be fine! If it does rain, a little water never hurt anyone. I doubt we'll see downpours.
