wow, they look really nice, I really envy all of you that are going there. Have fun, and then some!

ok, now keep in mind these were over a holiday weekend...it's not going to be this full the weekend we're there. these are the spots we're trying to get reserved (right down on the lake at the end of a loop all by themselves)

Hm, how much would it cost to just live there fulltime?

About as much as it costs to rent a large-sized apartment. People do live at these resorts full time...my grandparents split their time between Indian Lakes and a similar resort in Texas.

Wow...looks really good! I can't wait to get there!!! :D

Looks nice :)

I'm going to bring some fishing stuff if there are any lakes we are allowed to fish in....

VARY nice.
Now that I see the cabins wish I would have spent the extra $ for one.
Is it too late to reserve a cabin for me and Cecil?
Not that we need one but now that I see them...
PM me if you can get us a cabin.
No biggy if you can't.
I had no idea this place was this large, I looked at their websight but the pics there don't do it justice.
By the way have you put in the order for 3 days of perfect whether? :)

I wonder how long it takes the groundskeeper to mow all that grass.

toolie: yes, fishing is ok. they're actually having a tournament either saturday or sunday (i think it's saturday but we'll find out for sure if you or anyone else is interested)

jemsee: shouldn't be a problem, i think we've got three cabins we can take if we need 'em. there are different types of cabins too..some are larger than others. i'll see what was available to us (there's supposed to be a group there that's wanting to reserve them but we're bumping them ;) ) i'll check with zaph tomorrow after i get home from work (and get a chance to see him:) ) to be sure there are cabin spaces available before i say definately one way or another. the camping spaces i'm wanting to reserve are fairly close to the cabins, so we'll have enough space to get away from one another if we want to, but we won't be running ourselves ragged to see one another and for meals.

I Might be able to go to the next AGN convention (If there is another one), my dad just dosn't trust these kind of things, but if there is no problems heard of in that area and I can prove it to him, the idea of going to the next one is good.

will there be a next one?

Who knows, have to wait and see.

makes me sad I can't go... I live too far away and i can't drive... oh well, maybe next time...

Mabey if there is one next year you can hop on a plane, come down to Illinois, then my dad can give you a ride there, its only a couple hours of a drive. Same with LinkSlash and ZFreak if possible.

I can tell you right now that i won't be going probably. Be cool if you could though. give me the report.
