Jay, now is a good time to switch to a 6.0! You can help in the rebuild process too. I'm sure Troy would love to have a buyer already.

There were a number of places where the fence had been knocked down already. We were able to get it put back and bent the pole back into place. I heard St. Cloud was closed for different reasons....

I simply pulled the slide in just a bit to get it up off the floor. It wasn't to bad then. However, stay good and thin on the material. There is very little clearance between the floor and bottom of the slide.
Good info...
Thanks!!!
I may look into doing this next year...

Looks like maybe your ceiling was a bit soft in the Living Room slide on the right side? Mine had a few soft spots but we've redone it all now.. Pics later...

DCTC may be under different mgmt now days.. My info is a good 10 years old now on both it and St Cloud... St. Cloud told all the car clubs to get lost when some moron from the old ARRF group cut the lock off the gate because the guy was an hour late in getting there to open up... It took a few years to get that resolved... ARRF is no more..

That was all new too, actually. I wonder if it's the picture or if they did something to it.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope everyone's having a great Tuesday.

Took the chance to check out Mille Lacs with the boat today. It's about a 45 minute trip from the house. Man that is a HUGE lake! We went about 10 miles out before running out of time and had to turn around. With all the wind it was slow going, haven't seen that much chop in years! Made it back with 25 minutes to spare to get my son off the bus.

Good evening guys.

Turns out I ordered a regular helmet instead of a modular one so now I need to screw around with that return. Grrrrr.

Proper one now on order.
