Clinton Spring 2011?

But only a 40% chance, according to weather.com.

We should be rolling in around 3 or so Friday afternoon. In theory.

we backed out of the camping for the weekend   kid has a soccer game Fri. night as well as Sat. afternoon   that combined with the weather forecast, it didn't look too promising for us    depending on conditions Sun. we may come down for the day

A-46 is now open if someone wants to grab it

Im going to be there saturday for the day. If the weather sucks I'm just going to fish on my friends bass boat all day. Look forward to meeting you guys.

Ugh, I backed out a few weeks ago...just forgot to alert the attendees. Oops, hope to see you all soon though.

Gang, weather is looking GRIM for the weekend. We may not go based on the weather forecast. Wind, rain, and colder temps for the whole weekend. WTF, Earth?

We are also watching the weather close, and we'll see tomorrow. I'm still hoping for a different forecast but if not we're not headed down this weekend.

We will come down instead on June 17-19, just a heads up if anyone else is interested in a rain delay date.

Totally understandable guys, tents in the rain with kids could make a long weekend. There are still a few diehards coming out so we're heading down after work no matter what. I am determined to grill my first steak of the season even if I do it in a raincoat. If anyone wants my cell number to check on the weather before heading out shoot me an email

We're going to wing it. Too much planning has gone into making it to let the weather ruin it. National doppler looks promising for the trip down this morning. If it rains, so be it. Crossing my fingers though...weather.com shows 60% chance of rain today and Saturday. That means a 40% chance of dry

ill head out late in the morning/early afternoon for a lil boating. doubt there will be any skiing today.

didn't make out on the water. washed the boat in my barn in dewitt and decided that the weather sucks.

If anyone wants to come down to clinton to rage with me and a bunch of my friends (there will be 25 yr old girls in bikinis) the first saturday and sunday of june (i think 4th & 5th) we should be out there.

Love to see some correct crafts representing that weekend. Lemme know.

My fiance goes to school in btown, so I won't be camping, but ill rage all day.

Better weather=better turn out of girls.

I will have to admit, it was a tough weekend weather wise. Even with a camper, it was no fun being locked inside. It was cold and drizzly Saturday and Sunday. I even took my boat home on Saturday because the weather just wasn't going to allow us to get out on the water. Mother Nature was a real bummer.

On the bright side, we did get to see friends again! Friday night we all had some fun sitting in the Arrigi's Bounder and just catching up after a long boring winter. Great to see the Leinen clan from Indiana. Heck, they were the only ones that got to plop the boat in the puddle and enjoy the 80+ degree water! I was very jealous knowing they were enjoying the lake and I was still at work!

Even though the weather dampend the turnout for most people, we sat around last night and had a few beers around the grill and thought about everyone that intended to make it. We missed you BUT SURE CAN'T BLAME YOU FOR NOT COMING!!! You definitely made the right decision! We plan on seeing the RJ clan in June and invite everyone back this summer.

I agree with Todd, weather was a disappointment but we got some good long hours in hanging around with some friends drinking beers and grilling in the rain. Still worth it for us to be there.

I will say that is the first time I've ever been skunked with the boat though. We drove down in the rain, the boat never left the trailer and we drove home in the rain.

I'm sure we'll try again in the fall.

Weather was a bummer. Company was first class, as always. Got there Friday around 3, the weather was around 80, so we got the tents set up and headed for the lake. About two hours, and the storms rolled in, so we headed back to the campground. After a miserable, cold (but, amazingly, dry) night in the tents, we decided that since the radar showed no breaks in the weather we'd pack up and head for home. Regardless, we'll be back.

We're actually toying with the idea of a cheap, used popup camper. They're all over craigslist for between $1000 and $5000. If I could score one cheap, that might be the way to go for these Clinton weekends. It wouldn't have to be pretty, just dry and warm.

I think our family will be there for a few hours on Sunday too. I'd imagine that we will be there in the afternoon. After the kid takes his nap. Plus it will be warmer.

If you are there, give me a call! 217-202-5946

well, 1 of 2 things...

1) the world will have come to an end

or, more likely...

2) Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 86. South southwest wind between 9 and 18 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.

might want to bring the sailboat

we are planning on camping/boating the 10th - 13th, weather permitting of course
