Wow, can you believe we are to the six annual Upper Midwest Gathering?
Where has the time gone? Once again, myself and Jesse Rink from W3SI, will be
working hard to put on a fun packed weekend. Our goal this year is to hit the 50 car
mark. We were almost there last year with a record 47 3/Ses there. Check out
all the great pictures for year's past:
