You should stick this in the Great Lakes sub, too. Looks like fun!

That's the weekend before EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. Might be able to do a combined roadtrip!

Wisconsin will be in the house

Looks like you all have similar flag holders on your front tow brackets... is that something you can speak about before the event comes?

 

[R1 EVY]

Definitely. I'll give you my exact setup. It worked really well but I'm going to modify it for the next trip.

Being a multi-day event, were people camping at either Silver Lake State Park or maybe the nearby Charles Mears State Park (that has a pair of Rivian Waypoints Network 11 kW charging stations)? Any of the camping sites that are setup with standard 50-amp RV outlets would also work to charge up the batteries.

We are blocking off spots at Hideaway Campground. We did that last year, and it worked great. They have 50amp connections (even though on their reservation site it says 30). My initial ask to them was 6 campsites blocked off and when we fill those up - there's another patch of 10 we can block off - and then another patch of 10. All grouped together.

If you want to go ahead and do a reservation online on their site - camp sites 191, 193, 195, 197, 199, and 201 all are 50 amp (ignore the 30 amp they advertise). We stayed in 197 last time and the Rivian mobile charger 240 worked without any conversion needed.

Just reply if you did make a reservation with your name - so when they block it off, we don't move you to make room for our block. Thanks

Also interested in dune flag setup.

Mark Denzel - coming from Northern Illinois. We booked site 200 because we needed water too. Please get that site added to the block.

We went here last year as part of another group. Ordered the flag ahead of time which is totally not necessary. The store across the street from the park entrance has loads of brackets and flags and will install for you. I recommend a pool noodle to put over the flag pole just in case.

Here is where did order ours from last year: http://www.jdscustoms.com/

I think if you buy at the store it was only like $48 so a lot cheaper to get there than ordering ahead.

We also stayed at the state park just down the road from this place. We had a camper and struggled to get it into the spot because of all the curves and so many cars parked along the camping road. The site was only 30A and was actuall far off of our site. We luckily have a 30A extension for the camper so were able to still charge up.

I'm definitely interested. If I'm not on a strike team I may go on a family road trip to there.
