Clocktoberfest 2011 (Galena IL)

Post by Freak »

Clockwork asked me to post this here, he's doing his something'th annual Clocktoberfest in Galena, IL (Near Dubuque IA) next weekend. Festivities start unofficially on Thursday with a mine exploration, then kick off "officially" on Friday night with underground boating. Saturday is a big bonfire party at an old farm where everyone camps (legit, lol). Then drunken mine exploring Saturday night, and any survivors can check out the ruins of a Victorian theme park (with cave) on Sunday.

There's usually a lot of beer-fueled mayhem, redneckery, bombing Slim Jim with fireworks, ATVs, underground exploring, etc.

Here's his UER event dealy: http://www.uer.ca/events/viewevent.asp?eventid=602

And UER discussion: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp? ... adid=95070

One of the mods can probably help with that. I have gotten a lot of help with certain things from a midwest mod on there.

Speaking of clocktoberfest, I will go one of these days, damnit!

Clocktoberfest was pretty good this year, nobody died despite our best efforts, we did some sweet caves, confused the cops with our multiple cult-like identical Kias, pissed off the entire neighborhood with fireworks, blew up Jim's tent, went swimming and boating underground, etc. There's a few pictures floating around. Here are a few I stole from the UER thread:

Hey, hipster chicks who like caves are my favorite thing on the planet. I'll have to start going to meetups again, lol.

I think moth hit the nail on the head... You generally don't expect to see any rolling fields or pretty scenery associated with hipsters.

If I've offended anybody, then please redirect to the DBM Trolling section in 'Other'. It's been depressingly slow lately...

Why do you even care MothNuts?
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

I thought everyone at the KC meetup was pretty cool. Except of course the asshole that smashed out car windows. That fucker still has something coming to him/her.
