ModernChivalry trip to Dupont Castle
« on: 2011-04-06, 22:07:28 »
I heard back from the owner of Dupont Castle regarding a small group trip. I suggested a Saturday since some of us have longer drives and could use a day to rest afterward.

"I guess around noon would be good. I assume you would be here for about one to two hours. As far as I know right now, Sat the 16th or Sat the 23rd would be okay. You should keep weather in mind, one of the nice things about this place is the view from the roof, and if we have fog or rain, it kind of messes that up."

Let's coordinate something. :)

I'm out.  The road trip from, and back to, Minnesota would be a killer. ;)

Gah I couldn't go that far... I'd be lucky if I could get to Maryland or whatever. Would love to do it though...

Regrettably I cannot make it either! I have just this week been reassigned to another project which will require me to work every Saturday up until mid-June.
I'm fortunate my boss is going to still allow me to take the weekend of the 16th off so I can go to GARF.  :(

Youch, it sounds like this month is bad. Of those two weekends, I definitely can't on the weekend of the 16th since that's NHSC.

Eek, I believe I would be strung high from the rafters if I missed Mother's Day weekend. That limits me too.

I may take a solo trip out there, or possibly meet up with Sir Nathan if he's around, get some pictures, report back, and we'll schedule and coordinate for another time. :)

Well, we could always plan for a later date and maybe another place.  I'm open for it...but as others have said, Mother's Day weekend would be akin to placing your neck on Mother's butcher block.  You just don't.  ;)

If folks are going up on the 23rd let me know. Like Ed, the 16th is not tenable.

I was talking to my wife and she said that Mother's Day is in May. And the calendar confirmed it. I'm thinking the 23rd is going to be the weekend I go.

If anyone wants to go on the 23rd, I'll start a list so that I can let the owner know.

That turns out to actually be Easter weekend this year, in case that makes a difference to anyone.

So it is Sir James...Easter is that weekend in question, 4/24 to be exact.  I only know because I checked the calendar to find out exactly when it was.  So, that is Easter weekend.  Not such a huge deal for me...

Oh that's easy, you didn't want us to go w/out you!  Telling us it occurred on Mom's Day would ensure that.  lol

Easter is a Sunday thing for me, so going on Saturday isn't an issue.
