Green Lake 09’

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....

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

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

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!

.            AMEN BROTHER!!!!

   I tell everyone, I get mad when I hit one of the three traffic lights downtown wrong!
I love country folk...how you say....Yeeeaahaaa!

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

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.

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.

Mike, the bus to Green Lake will be going right through York.

Joe, you're right on the way, about 8 hours from Portland. That may be a good way to do it. We don't want for much in the way of accomadations. On our last road trip, we found that TA truck stop parking lots were very comfortable.

Josh,

Steve has the right idea. I guess you could get north to 90 and go through SD.
You are in a tough place to get there from. I have a cabin in Sandpoint, but we can take 94/90 from my house to CD'A. Only 1300 miles.

Mike

Pete,

2 people, SUV + boat trailer is going to run $350-$400 each way on the old Badger, it's about a 4hr sail. Have crossed aboard the Badger out of Manitowoc not the new high speed from Milwaukee, it's a cool way to make the trek.

Pete is absolutely correct about going through Chicago or even around it, avoid doing it anytime near rush hour or you will hit traffic.

Josh,
Yes, it's a straight shot all the way from Wall Drug !!! Once you reach the Dells area of Wisconsin, you'll cut across East.. Made the trip several times on a Harley.. Minn is boring to drive through, but what the heck. Once you hit Lacrosse, WI, the cold beers will be only a short distance away !!!

Look forward to meeting you this summer..

GREEN LAKE UPDATE

Dates for the Reunion: July 17-19th
Green Lake Wisconsin.

Everyone has been anxiously waiting to see the registration page as they are making their summer plans to GL..

We are days away from finalizing the 09' Logo, T-Shirts, menus, venues etc. While Keith provides the registration and subsequent layout of the weekend in a few days, we will officially close the registration on July 4th.

Although a tad bit later than normal, there will be plenty of time to make your reservations and navigational plans to participate in this, the 4th annual, Midwest, CCfan.com Reunion..

The delay in getting things rolling this year was because of the new enhancements made for the entire weekend, and to accommodate the additional members we know will participate this summer.

Keith will make the formal announcements very soon. For those of you still on the fence, this is not the year to remind yourselves once again that I will make it next year for sure...

Yes, times are certainly tough right now for many, but I guarantee there is not going to be a cheaper, more enjoyable weekend your spend with friends and family and your Nautique if you can bring one..

For those who can fly in, but can't trailer in, more the merrier.. There are so many boats, and good people here to share rides, please do not let that stop you. (If more comfortable, the marina as well as hotels have boat rentals)...

I know I have said this each of the last three years, and I don't believe we have ever dissapointed, DON'T miss GL09'......

As your humble GL resident, please do not hesitate to ask any question you may have to me directly about this event.

Thanks,

Moj'

My favorite place in the world is North Idaho.
Our cabin is north of town about 12-15 miles. Up the Pack River Valley another 10. We are 5 miles off-grid. Solar powered. Nothing but us and the moose.
I will be up there the two weeks prior to GL. We try to get out there 6-7 times per year.
