Like Lil Darlin from Michigan says. We folks up here in Michigan have trouble preparing in the cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We usually do April through October and maybe a November if it is reasonably fair weather but that's a long shot!!!!!!!!! 2 times / month and a couple longer trips like a week during that time. Most trips are the long weekend ones.
Wife works some Saturdays so I might head out with a kid or two, depends.
