Saddle Rama in Lincoln Land

Phopkins said:
Hey everyone, we're planning a one day meeting to compare and discuss all things saddle. March 16, 9 am at Ramsey Lake State Park, Ramsey IL. Bring your saddle gear and we'll all try to learn something from each other.
We're going to add details, but right now you need to bring your own lunch. Meeting spot is yet to be determined as the # of people and the proximity of one of the shelters to good climbing trees will have to be considered. That's all for now, watch this thread for further details.

We are about 3 weeks out...what campground at Ramsey will we stay in? Wanted to reserve my place for the weekend.
 
If you want to spark more interest in this event you should post on the fb page I just seen this and am interested in this.

When I called the guy I talked to said the place should be wide open in March. I plan to get there by 8 Saturday morning. I hope to grab the picnic pavilion at White Oak Campground loop. That shelter is the closest to any campsites. So I would grab z campsite in White Oak. I don't think they take reservations till April 1. So it is first come, first served. I don't anticipate it'll be very busy from the way the guy on the phone made it sound.

I am a Facebook abstainer, but if someone else wants to post there that would be fine.
Treeman, hope you can make it. Where are you from?
Is anybody bringing some WE steps, I don't know if I'll have mine by then, I'm dying to try out steps and aiders.
 
I just read about this on the FB page today. I'd come if I weren't already booked on the 16th for work. Any chance of doing this on a Sunday, or both days in the future?

We would be glad to see you, it's as much a gear demo day as well as being introduced to another way of thinking. Please try to make it. I have a size 1 Kestrel you should try on and hang from a tree with.

Myself and a few buddy's are planning on coming up, none of are currently use a saddle so I hope you don't mind showing us your equipment and getting peppered with questions.

That's just what we're hoping to do, all us want to get a better idea of saddle hunting. Ask all the questions you want. I'll be asking my share.
 
Will anyone have the JX3 hybrid saddle, that thing looks very comfortable
 
I'm going to try and get there Friday evening...if not then I'll leave early saturday morning and meet everyone there. If I do come up on Saturday then I won't be bringing my popup camper.
