You guys and gals do realize that Minnesota state parks prohibit alcoholic beverages. That's why I'm going to a Wisconsin State Park; to drink heavily and have fun.;)

Very true, unfortunately- MN has become absolutely infested with people hellbent of rule-making these past few decades.

I've never actually seen that enforced. I think it's mainly used to keep big parties out of state parks. I've had conversations with park rangers with beer in hand, and they never said anything about it. I think you're normally ok as long as you remain peaceful, quiet, and civilized.

Don't hold me to that though. If you plan on partying, go to a private campgrounds that allows it, or go to Ronstock. Wait... am I assuming too much? Alcohol will be allowed at Ronstock, right? I do plan on celebrating and having a good time... for me that includes a little drinking.

Speciallyblend, who is organizing Ronstock, has indicated that it will be allowed. However, we need to keep it reasonable since it will be on someone's private property- no getting drunk and stupid and destroying things.

Drinking at the rallies isn't a smart idea / it will be used an excuse to hassle you.
