I think it would be cool to have one on Lake James, and stay at the Potawatomi Inn at Pokagon State Park, or camp at the fantastic campgrounds there. Nice beach at the park too. I know there is a slalom course on one of the three connected lakes there.

Not to be Debbie Downer here, but I made the drive over to Pokagon State Park last month to check it out. It was a nice enough facility, but the problem is it books up a full 2 years in advance. I asked about rooms at the Inn, and they had no more than 5 available on any summer weekend. Same story at the campground, which is separate and has nothing to do with the Inn. They have most summer weekends 100% full. Maybe Lake James would be OK for a day trip, but I don't see the overnight thing happening. Rob |

I would agree. Toss a couple of dates out, and let's see what works best. I know we have like three or four weddings late summer/early fall. But, I will certainly do my best to make it.
This would be a great reunion at Correct Craft's Midwest ancestral home. |

I know a few of the members will be at the Buckethead barefoot race, tentatively scheduled for Aug 10th.  I would love to attend a reunion, and this would be my best shot at one. Ironically, Brian (aka Buckethead) had his wedding reception at the Pokagan Inn. My wife and I checked in, and then went looking for the Inn's bar. To our dismay, there wasn't one.

If the reunion does happen on Aug 10th. We might be able to race, and then head to Lake James.

If you guy's get something going that is a weekend deal we would definitely be interested, Angola is a bit far for a day trip though.
Would be ideal to find a Lake with a Campground on water with boat launch and hotels nearby. |

Just got off the phone with pokagon she said no boat launch. Have to put in on otherside of the lake. Still plenty of sites though.

Look back to last year...many of us have listed other boat ramps to launch depending on where your staying. Lots of new hotels right by the toll road & i69 interchange.

Might want to call Dry Dock, the local CC dealer near Lake James. They help organize a wooden boat show during the Summer at a ramp between Lake James and Snow lake. Lake levels were real low up there last year, not now
7 inches of rain topped everyplace up last week. |

Good Idea!! These events are even better when the group can arrange to stay near each other, be it adjacent campsites or the same hotels which usually needs some advanced planning. One of u hoosiers needs to grab the bull by the horns and get er done!! Woj & Papa, you guys need to drag that 77' up to Green Lake in July, should be at least a couple other Speed Nautiques there you can wrestle with for the top dog spot, lol. |

The Buckethead is normally this weekend. Brian usually schedules it the same weekend as Div 1 Show Ski Nationals. We also have done a race in September near Big Rapids known as the Lockwood Challenge (or Run the River). It hasn't run in a couple of years (though it might be resurrected this year). |
