Well the dates of Oct. 3-5 seem to be good so mark those down. Castleton will be the area we'll be in. I'm looking for hotel info to post and a place to hang out at.

Is there any way we can move it a little further south like Louisville? Castleton is 8 hours from me.
I'm not smart enough to do it but someone should start a poll with a few optional weekends and let the people decide.
Too bad the meet is too far away for me to attend, take lots of pics gents! The Batman is saddened he won't be there

My wife and kids are coming back in September. I think it's too long a drive for the lil one's. They never been on such a long road trip before.

I know 
My kids are about to be 17 months. Would be cool to have them looking at everyone's TB's and Voy's. They love hearing my truck, they know when daddy's coming down the street. My wife said they get all excited and wide eyed.

Well guys I know that Louisville was mentioned and a later date was also suggested but seems like more interest was show for Indy. I'm sorry if it isn't as close to some of you. I'm sure with more time we can set up a meet further south.
We can meet on Saturday at noon at the Castleton square mall lot located at:
6020 E. 82nd St. Indianapolis,IN 46250.
I did find the Super 8 Hachet mentioned right down the road from the mall.
7202 East 82nd Street, I-69/82nd St - Castleton, Indianapolis, IN 46256
(800) 536-0719

Well I really wanted to get this meet going but not as many members are available. Maybe it was too short notice. We can postpone it and set up another with more notice to get the word out.

It's amazing how much whining and excuses there are in this thread. Come on folks, everyone talks about how much fun the midwest meets are. Everyone says that they need to get to one someday. But then there are a a bunch of excuses and reasons why they can't make it.
Work schedules can usually be changed. Find another employee to trade weekends with you. There was plenty of notice for this, save some money every week. As far as the travel goes, take your time and plan it out. I have traveled halfway across the country for meets that I wanted to go to. That was also dragging the wife and three small kids with me.
Come on folks, man up and come out and enjoy a weekend with a bunch of cool guys!

My only excuse is that I'm going to be just back from vacation and I may be sick of driving for hours in the car lol 
So I'm still a maybe. I want to, but not positive if it'll work until it is on top of me basically. I'd only be there late Friday night until sometime later Saturday.

So im out for sure.
So im out for sure.
I have to agree with matt, so many people are not coming. who is coming? I once drove 18 hours to new York for a meet, the key word is a meet (I WANTED TO ATTEND). its sad, we always had the biggest meets, 2 to 3 times a year. what changed?
