Green Lake 09’

jdkenyon

My DOT router from Twin Falls, ID says: I-84, I-80, I-35, I-90, WI-82, WI-23 too Green Lake. Distance 1647.4 Miles road time 24 hours 42 minutes with a max speed set at 70 MPH.

From Indy I always use the I-35 , WI-23 approach too Green Lake.

Bruce, Mike, and other New Englanders should consider an Auburn NY stop over if your looking to break the trip up. Its not near half way but it makes the second leg a reasonable shot, can't promise world class accomidations but we can put you somewhere.

Traffic lights are few and far between in several of the towns around me here.

Ive already "primed" Pam that I/(we?) may be making a GL run on Sunday...hope to stay overnight and leave Monday. No reseravtions..Might have to crash in the back of the truck... Not sure about bringing the boat?   Man, I love that event!

DO NOT DRIVE INTO THE CITY.....
They made I294 for a reason...

Idaho, wow, you're west of SLC. Looks like you're driving east and taking a left at Chicago.

We can't compete with BKH but we are still looking at 1643 miles. 1276 is a walk in the park. I think we will be rolling in something Wednesday and staying through Sunday. Hopefully that is enough time....

We're planning on leaving Wednesday, arriving on Thursday and leaving Monday.

We rolled in to Lake George at 6:00 on Friday and left Saturday night during the banquot, which really stunk, but it was a last minute arrangment that got us there.

Brian, I think you'll hold the record on distance travelled for a long time. I did check other distances out and surprisingly the only people travelling farther are the FLA folks. Even Boat Dr is closer to Green Lake than ME. But all you do is drive to Albany and instead of taking a right and driving for an hour to Lake George, you just go straight for another 12 hours and take a right at Chicago.

I'm hoping if I drive all that way, 62Wood will show for Sunday.

Bruce,
Actually the GL event has expanded to about 5 days.. Half the crew starts rolling in on Thursday and get two full boating days in before the get together on Friday night. Then Sunday and even Monday there are 10 plus boats either skiing, hanging out (drying out in my case)...

So, plan on a few extra days. No one wants to head out driving on Sunday anyway, traffic sucks...

You really don't want to miss this year !!!

Mike, not definately, but about 85% at this point. The wife says to go, although I get the feeling she really doesn't think we'd drive half way across the country for a week end event. She thinks we've gone soft in the head over boats, but this will definately confirm it for her. Course, it's really not the boats, it's the Boat People.

We rented from two separate places last year: Fox Valley RV (where we rented two (HW's and Ruch's), 920-757-1597, and I just rented two from them today. Appleton Camping Center (where we got motor home from at last minute- didn't like dogs) 920-757-6112. Their website is still up running. Both companies delivered to site last year but they have a limited capacity based off manpower and time frames. But they're less than an hour away so if you have to pick up, no big deal, but if you need a delivery, call soon.

Reggi told me that yesterday. We booked #30 last week. I was going to switch to a bigger site yesterday in case we wanted to rent an RV. She said she still had a few big sites left, but that the company that rents RVs went out of business. Although she did say I should talk to you guys because you might know another place. At this point we're staying put. If it rains hard we can sleep in the truck.

The McConnell is a very nice place, great location, great owners.. It's quiet, clean and has some really great breakfast's.. Just no kids are allowed there !!!

Far cry from camping, unless you have a 40 footer... Oh and it's a block long walk to the camp ground !!!
