So Megan(mheath0429) and I decided that the Midwest needs to meet up! Smile We'd like to invite you guys to join us at the 2013 Illinois Husky Camp! It'll be May 3rd-May 5th in Utica, Illinois at Hickory Hollow Campground. Megan already talked with them and they said we are more then welcome!

First off this first post is for us to get an estimate of how many people are going to be joining us!
There are only four cabins on the campground that allow dogs. Two cabins hold 4 people, and Two hold 6 people. The 4 person cabin is $50 a night and the 6 person cabin is $60 a night and you'll need to bring your own bedding.. A tent site is 1 tent and up to 4 people and $25 or if you have an RV price will range $35-$37 depending on the hook ups you need. There are hotels in the area, but I still need to get a list together and find out which are pet friendly.

In order to make a deposit formally with the camp ground it will be a $5 booking fee along with the first nights fee. We will prompt you to send your money once we get the first four cabins booked and talk with the campground it will most likely be via paypal to one of us and then we will book everything for the first night.

Some of you may choose to bunk together. My friend Angel and I will be bunking with Megan and Chris to have an extra cabin open. Cabins will be on a first come, first serve basis. If you guys are interested in coming please PM me or Megan the following info...
+Number of people:
+Number of dogs:
+Dates coming:
+Cabin/Tent/Hotel:
+If you are sharing a cabin with another member:
+Dates attending:

Thanks guys and we hope to see you guys there!

Okay all cabins as of right now are taken. We have one person willing to share a cabin. If you're interested please PM me. Also we will let you know what is going on with a 4 person vs 6 person cabin as soon as possible!

Attending so far:
Jennet & Angel(Jennet&Embry)- 2 adults - 4 huskies - Friday-Sunday (Cabin #1- 6 person)
Megan & Chris(mheath0429)- 2 adults - 2 huskies - Friday-Sunday (Cabin #1- 6 person)
Melissa(Lu&Katsmom)- 2 adults - 2 huskies - Friday-Sunday (Cabin #2...Willing to share with someone if needed! -4 person)
Kevin(kevo)- 1(possibly 2) adults - 3(possibly 4) huskies - Friday-Sunday (Cabin #3 - 6 person)
Jason(jschrader) - 2 adults, 2 kids - 2 huskies - Friday-Sunday (Cabin #4- 4 person)
Jill Eastman - 1 adult(?) - 4 dogs(?) - Friday-Sunday (RV or Hotel)
Annemarie Schneider - 1 adult - 4 dogs possibly - Friday-Sunday (Hotel)
Amina Lodhi - 1 adult - 2 dogs - Friday-Sunday - (Hotel?)

That sounds very cool! And I am only 2 hours away from there so that would work out well for me! I think I would be interested but only if there is a cabin available. I don’t think I would want to use a tent in early May lol!

Keep me in the loop for this because I am definitely interested! There would be 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 huskies

Since my possible guest with me asked, i figure others would wonder. What are some of the activities that are likely to go on at a meet up like this?

I just looked this campground up. That's next to Starved Rock. I have never been but have heard how beautiful it is there.

Well, we are hoping for hiking, canoeing, swimming and campfires with the pups. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to share Smile

Also as far activities, Megan and I chose this place because they are super close to a few state parks that we can take the dogs to, but we can drink at the campground, but we couldn't at a state park Laughing
Here are a few of the things I hope we can do:

Starved Rock State Park
Matthiessen State Park
Scenic Illinois River
Vermillion River rafting(potentially, probably would be difficult with all the dogs)
Also, Historic Downtown Utica. Maybe do a lunch or something if there's a restaurant that has outdoor seating..

Well as it stands right now, all four cabins are taken. I still don't know who is getting a 4 person or a 6 person cabin. If you have a preference PLEASE let me know. Otherwise we'll just do whatever is easiest.

Melissa is willing to share her cabin if someone does want to share. Please PM either me or her and we can get this rolling Smile

For anyone interested, there's a Days Inn near the campsite that accepts dogs. I will be calling them either tomorrow or Monday to get a dog limit per room and estimates for price.

Well, I know now that I will not be able to come up for the whole weekend but I am still going to try and drive up on that Saturday and hopefully do a hike with you all. I live almost two hours away so it won't be a big deal to come up for the day.
