http://www.mytrain.com/powertour.html



Early info June 10th................. Please everyone post on the GMMG Forum as more information becomes available.



I have not heard of the other stops yet.



Looks like the Power Tour may be back to Wisconsin. YEA!!!!!!



I’m in - (long haul gang) – who else is going? How about a GMMG brigade?



This is a lot of fun & should be on everyone’s ‘bucket-list’.



I couldn’t make it this year because Sandy retired right in the middle of it. I’m sure she’s in.



If anyone wants to come to Half Moon Lake at the end I have room – I’m 3 hours from the Dells.

I've heard from Mike Paige (CETA B #4)



This is a blast - even if you can only do a stop or two.



No other cities announced yet - normally they will do this later in the year.



Jim

Sweet – I’m in. This route would be awesome!



I’ll have to stop & see Trigger’s collection when in Ohio.



Who’s in? Mike Paige says he is. CETA BB #4



Who wants to go & what days? Let's start a list.



I plan on the Long Haul again.

Make your own reservations (starting to book up now so I wouldn't wait)



Save some money? Find a pal to split a room with.
