Well inquiring minds have been asking if we are going to do the Get Together this year. YES

https://www.springfieldmn.org/...othenburg-campground


Those that have been before know we have a great time. Catching up with friends we see far too seldom. We never have starved and an adult beverage or two have been consumed. We are booked into site 13. These are gravel pads with a nice spacing. We generally set up a gazebo. This keeps us from being bugged by bugs. 50 amp at all sites. Sites 1-14 are preferred.

More details to come I just wanted to get the word out YES GTG in Springfield Minnesnowta 2025.

Well happy to hear from you Dana, I booked site #12! See you then!

That was quick Dana. I reserved #15
Thanks for coordinating this. Looking forward to the event.

Wow, that’s some quick responses! If our Alaska routing takes us nearby we will surely stop by for a night.

Thanks for getting the word out!

Liz has a big conference downstate on Saturday, so we would have to leave on the 29th. Maybe arrive Monday, stay Tuesday Wednesday and leave Thursday. Reservation pending, more discussion with the boss....

It will be good to see folks again.

Make sure you do 3 evenings if you’re staying for the entire time. May 27th 28th 29th leaving on 30th.kinda confusing registration site.

Thanks Dana, I guess I only did 2 nights! Had to make an additional reservation to cover the 29th, could not figure out how to amend the first one.

Can someone please explain how to purchase the Barth drive with the information on it? I’ve sent PM and still no replies. This seems to be the one thread with active conversation. Apologies for barging in but if I can’t got mine fixed, I won’t be able to attend any get together. Thank you.

As for the Barth drives I am not sure if those are available. I may have one around, I will check and let you know. I believe they may be around but I'm not sure who made the copies. Not a lot there for the early MCC coaches, though.

I just booked to arrive 5/26 depart 5/29. Took site #7 next to 12,13 etc.

We will have to leave on Thursday to get home on Friday. Liz has a conference downstate on Saturday. At least this way we will be there all day Tuesday and can see folks as they arrive, rather than arrive later. We can stay until midday on Thursday. Looking forward to seeing our friends again.

Have Barth, will travel

I had one the CD and I grabbed it to look at something and found it completely blank??? Somehow it got wiped. No help there. Everything on the CD is available on the site. You just have to search for it. There was little to no info on the MCC. The Chicago rebuilder ran out of usable parts long ago.

Sorry I put the link to the Campground in the community announcement but not here. I edited it in up top also.

When making your reservation in order to get that nights you have to tell it the following day when you are leaving. Not the way others do it??

Yes, you have to bracket four days to get 3 nights... Not the same as I have seen before. Otherwise seems to work.

Looking forward to this. I need to get the ujoints and seal done as soon as I get home. Coach should be ready. Full of fuel at last year's price.

87 today. Florida is warming up nicely.

Thank you for replying and looking. I appreciate that. I have too much to fix before I can join the meetups. One day, though, one day.

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a great winter!

We were really looking forward to spring, uncovering Tonka, and getting ready to hit the road to Springfield to meet up with good friends old and new.

Unfortunately, we needed to schedule a medical procedure that has changed our plans for the summer. We aren't sure when we'll be rolling down the road again.

If the schedule changes we could still just show up for the good times, great food, and catching up with gobs of gab.

If not, hoist a few for us and we'll see down the road!

Thanks and have a great summer full of travels and adventures in our wonderful old Barths.

We are really looking forward to seeing everybody. we grabbed site 6. we will see you then
