Chiefs St. Joseph (Chief's Training Camp): July 28-Aug 2...worth it???

**Mr. Kotter** · 08:54 PM

Okay, this is the deal...

Between book deals, a new house, Driver's Ed, and summer school....I haven't been around this joint much since, well, a long time.

I have ONE week, plus a couple of days....between summer school/Driver's Ed and the "fall" semester which, for us, begins on August 11.

After checking the Chief's Training Camp schedule, and considering early August weather in the KC area....I'm inclined to skip it this year. Now, my 17 yr old neice, and 14 yr old son and I have gone to River Falls for 7 straight years. So we've enjoyed Chief's training camp in River Falls, in conjunction with a camping trip....the boy and my neice love camping. On the other hand, IF we were to come to St. Joseph, I'm leaning HEAVILY toward finding a cheap motel/hotel for 2-3 nights during that Jul 28-Aug 2 window.

In reality, I'm leaning toward skipping it, this year at least.

Anyone have thoughts, comments, suggestions to convince me otherwise???

This is probably the one year you don't want to skip. It is my guess that St. Joe and Missouri Western will pull out all the stops to show the Chiefs they are glad they are there. Just my guess though.

I'm sure all the motels are going to be jacking up their rates when this is going on so finding a 'cheap' one is going to be pretty iffy.

Okay....what about a decent "campground"??? Any thoughts?

Didn't Nzoner start a thread about having extra bedrooms?

That I don't know about, maybe camp out at Joe's pond? He was talking about renting rooms for TC as well, I don't know if he has any takers yet or if he has room for all of you. Maybe check with him.

For some reason, I sense Joe has cast me with his Phil/Phobia sort of dismissal--and I understand that. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I like Joe and don't want to intrude....

In fairness to Joe, our indecison/procrastination....and my own silly shit considered, I can't blame him if he wants to exclude me/my group-friends. I'm cool. I'm fine. Joe is WAY cool for all he and his fam have done for the Planet---and for the Chiefs.

Hmmm...not sure what you're getting at here and I'm not going to pry. Camping this time of year sounds miserable though, maybe one of he St Joe peeps will chime in with a suggestion. I've never been much of a camper so I have no clue what might be in the area.

I don't have a focking clue what you're talking about but for a mere $49.99 you can still geta nice room at Casa de Nzoner's

I'd say that's a good deal.
