Good afternoon! It's time we plan a meetup and hang with fellow railfans. It's been a few years now since we've had an official meetup due to covid, and feels like the right time to get our gatherings back in place. We've done Durand the past couple meets in 2018 & 2019, but it's time to head to Deshler Ohio once again. Poll is currently up to pick which weekend we have the meet: May 28th/29th(Memorial Day weekend) or June 11th/12th. Vote for any days you can make, and we'll get the date penciled in. Meetup mid-day Saturday at Deshler Ohio's Crossroads Park, stay for camping, and hang as late Sunday as you all would like. Stop on by and meet some of the familiar names you see posting here.
I'd suggest carpooling for the meet as usual and you can use this thread for setting up carpooling, or PM another member that you know is going. Hopefully we can get a good turnout and enjoy relaxing at the park for the weekend. For those that haven't attended these meets, it's a very laid back atmosphere. Bring a lawn chair, use one of the newish picnic tables and relax. There's a shelter on site. Our local resident Stupidfleet aka Chinese Food has assured me there will be a porta-potty at the park. Supermarket nearby to get food/beer, couple restaurants in town. Feel free to come and go as you please. You'll likely see some of us will chase trains north/south/east/west out of town at some parts of the day, and make our way back to the park afterwards.
No hotels very close nearby...closest ones are in Findlay and Defiance OH about 20-25 miles away. Tents/pop-up campers are fine at the park, 110v outlets at the shelter, free use, but we encourage donations to the park to keep things free and open.
If you are planning to go, please reply below.
