Wisconsin Area Meet Up
I know there are a few of us in the WI/IL area so I would like to propose a small meet n greet while we wait for specifics on the Midwest event. I was
thinking maybe the weekend of September 24th. The largest and most open field I know of is the Wauwatosa County Grounds.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&am...
It's the big field just south of the marker, that's also a small dirt path running along the west side of the field between the two buildings. If you
look at the street view, the best flying spot is behind that small island of trees, on the mowed side. The county mows the grass every few weeks and
the grounds are shared by dog walkers. Every time I've been there I've encountered about 1 dog walker an hour, give or take.

If anyone else has a different location I'm all ears!
Reply with availability so we can get a date with the best turn out.

This post and spot was something I was trying to put together for WI and surrounding area meet n greet. I canceled the formal meet up due to flyjump's
Springfield meet up over Thanksgiving weekend. So people are not confused, this meet up is NOT flyjump's Springfield spot.
This is county grounds in Wauwatosa, WI.
This spot is about 20 minutes from where I live so if anyone did want to make a trip to it I would be more than happy to meet up with you.
@thanson2001ok, Yes the field is big enough for a couple buggies at once. I would say it's close to the size of the soccer complex we were ejected
from. Not nearly as "well kept" however. The field is mowed a few times a year so it could be freshly cut or 10" of grass. I hear it's wonderful once
it snows and the lakes haven't frozen over yet.
