Wimi
Stands for Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Iowa.
Ok, not very catchy, but I just made it up!
Reading through the different rally's, seems like fun. Being new at the rv'ing scene has there been or considered a rally in this area? Is there a ring leader in this area? I would think that something in central/western Wisconsin would be a good draw. Max drive would be 4hrs from No IL, Minnie, Dubuque, Milwaukee, green bay, etc.
Problem that we definitely face is a late start in planning for 2012, but maybe 2013. Any thoughts, good bad or indifferent?

Love the name WIMI. We're in central IL but would consider a rally in this area.

I would think north of dubuque would be a good area.
A guy needs to draw a big circle around the four states outlining all
Outward corners and find center.
Ideas?
Would most likely have to be a reserveable camp ground.
I would definitely be involved in this wimi extravaganza!

Didn't know that, have to look into.
2013 is good, the devil is always in the details. Baseball, soccer, football and a myriad of other activities can always get in the way....
Need much thought too maximize a date, place and interest to name a few.

No the opening post mentions Michigan not Minnesota. But I suppose it could stand for both (just not mentioned that way).

It should be, later on I mention "Minnie", I definitely meant minnesota. Michigan to Wisconsin is a tough travel, much easier from minnesota. That long loop and traffic around lake Michigan through Chicago makes for a long haul for michianders.
