Is there any Carolineans making the drive to Kalamazoo. It has been four years since I have been but thinking about that drive. I do not want to drag my wife along again. It is about 11 hours for us.
How many of you drive and how long does it take you. Am I the only crazy one to drive that far?

I don't think you're the only crazy one. We have an addiction, and in January Kalamazoo is the best fix we can get!
My drive is much shorter from WI (5 hours?) But I can't avoid going through Chicago to get there and that adds enough frustration to make it seem like 11 hours!

Hope to see you there - stop by my booth and say hello!

About 6 hours if the weather is not too bad. No way to avoid the edge of Chicago from here either - its always a cluster.

Kzoo is a wonderful expo. I spend as much time visiting friends as I do viewing and shopping. The last couple of years I even managed not to buy a bow but doubt if that streak will last as Northern Mist has been calling my name.

Whip, bring some hats in XL, my fedora is getting worn and a back up is in order.

Love to go with ya Stalker but don't think I can manage to get away. Made the haul quite a few times when I used to go visit, moved from Michigan in '83, just haven't been in awhile.

This will be our 1st time going. Google maps says it takes 8 hours but it will go fast. 3-4 bowhunters can tell a lot of lies......I mean stories.

Chris, I have not heard from Lewis,(Deer Dog) in a week or so. I know he has not been.

I'll be looking forward to seeing you guys there!!
It's so cool to hear how far some of you are driving from, hope to have a big turnout this year.

I made the 10 hour drive last year, ALONE. It was a long boring ride, but very worth it. I'm trying to talk my wife into tagging along this year. We'll see...Mike

Mapquest says 6 hours for me.

mooseman, been there on the solo drive. Are you in Schuykill Co? If you end up running solo, I'd like to hook up with you. Email sent.

That is a graet trad event to go to. I got stuck up there last year in a heck of a lake effect snow storm. Sure was pretty though!

This will be trip no. 5 for myself and hunting buddy. We plan on bringing a new trad guy with us this year... love to watch the newcomers drool. The drive for us is about 7hrs.

Biggie Hoffman · « **Reply #12 on:** January 03, 2010, 06:23:00 PM »

12 hours for me...alone as always. Nobody can stand me for that long at one stretch. It's not a bad trip unless it snows about a foot.
I was coming back a few years ago and they shut down the interstate because of the snow in Indiana.

Seeza · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2010, 06:39:00 PM »

Always a great time. Almost seven hours for us.

ckanous · « **Reply #14 on:** January 03, 2010, 06:43:00 PM »

I think we should plan a trip Stalker for next year and get the old Deerdog up to Michigan!

Bonebuster · « **Reply #15 on:** January 03, 2010, 07:10:00 PM »

Here`s to a safe trip for everyone!

Marty · « **Reply #16 on:** January 03, 2010, 07:37:00 PM »

What are the exact dates of this shindig?

The Night Stalker · « **Reply #17 on:** January 03, 2010, 08:43:00 PM »

Try to get Deerdog to go. I know he would be in heaven. I can drive the dually.

Corn Stalker · « **Reply #18 on:** January 03, 2010, 09:14:00 PM »

When and Where is this thing going on? I live 45 minutes from K-zoo and would love to go.

Corn stalker. Check out the Trad Events forum.

I might be there this year again. With a couple new guys.
