More info to come at a later date, but mark your calendars for Aug 22-24!
Accommodations will be spartan (as usual) but we'll make do. We have several folks flying in on thurs and fri, perhaps a dialog here will help people coordinate rides/rentals, etc. |

I'm looking forward to seeing what TimBob brings this year and I'm not talking about a boat or food.

In.
Already locked in a ride from Indy, arriving Thursday for happy hour, leaving Sunday late morning/early afternoon-ish. TimBob, when is the Nautique Mobile planning on departing CT? My dad and I are trying to coordinate his ride and/or flight, he's just not trying to have to take more than Thu-Fri off work, if possible. |

Probably Friday evening after work with the 77 in tow. Hoping to bring my girlfriend as well. Not sure about dad yet though he may be out of state. |

HW.....Ya never know. Let's get thru Xmas in July first!
Adam.... Gonna guess from the last 2 Benjamin Bayous' that we'll be leaving first thing Mon morn. I'll fly straight Atl and into work first thing Tues. We'll have plenty of time to discuss this one next week. |

If he's gonna fly he's looking to get booked this week to get as low a fare as possible. Anybody local that would be willing to make an airport run? Possibly Sunday afternoon or evening? |

I'm tentatively planning an airport run first thing mon AM. I would think someone heading out of town to the east could swing by Bradley easy enough late on Sun.

Adam, either my dad or myself could do an airport run anytime Sunday since I live about 15 min from Bradley.

I would love to make it this year but we're taking a family vacation in Colorado and Utah starting on the 22nd.
Joe - If you're driving through I can leave a transmission for you to pick up. |

I would like to set the record straight. Having gone to last years CT MINI, I wouldn't miss this one. Further, I live 7 min from the Bradley Airport and will be available most anytime to pick or deliver CCF friends attending.

booked flights today. Into Hartford around 10 a.m.
Thursday and out around 7 p.m. Sunday. When we get closer to then, I hope we can either car pool or bum a ride. Looking forward to the next chapter of The Benjamin Bayou saga. |

If you're close, you should absolutely come. A lot of guys on this site see each other several times a year and have built friendships as a result, but that is no reason to jump in and hang out. I've met new people at this event each year, and its nice to have a face to put with the posts online. This weekend is very laid back and skiing centric, if you're close you should absolutely come over. Come for an afternoon or bring a tent and come for the whole weekend, you won't regret it. If you're serious about learning to barefoot this is definitely the crowd you want to hang out with. The Benjamin family is always gracious and accommodating hosts, and whether you bring the boat or not you'll definitely have a chance to ski and ride. I for one wouldn't mind a closer look at that new barefooter of yours. I also wouldn't mind checking out the view from about 90 feet behind it. |

It is close to me as in a 3 hour drive. And if i am able to make it there the boat would most definitely be in tow.
This sounds great! I am going to dot it on my calendar and will hopefully be able to make it over for the weekend. And If i am able to make it you can count on that ride for certain, as well as anyone else. i just picked up a BFI 100' tow line and handle along with a seat for the boom and look forward to putting them to use. Hopefully my new decals will be able to be done by then. |

don't buy extra gear specifically for this weekend, I assure you whatever you need will be available. Unless you have a pair of trick skis laying around, we always seem to run out of those.

But Jess, my dad, brother, nephew and Friend will be there Saturday morning bright and early, probably with the 85 in tow (not sure). Let us know what we can bring when it gets closer.
