Green Lake 2013,, We're Back

48 hours from departure and getting pumped up. See everyone soon.

A Green Lake Update !!!!!

Yes the water IS perfect, for those who think you have to bring a drysuit to go swimming in our crystal clear, deep lake...

Anyway, as many of you are looking to join us for the first time in central Wisconsin, it is going to be very important to make sure you have the following items in your boat (Barney is tolerant for the most part with our noisey little boats, but not for the following:

Expired registration
Not enough floatation/throwable
Exprired fire extinguisher

If you do get pulled over, do not panic, they also reward boaters with ice cream coupons when children are found with proper PFD's..

When launching, pay the fees !!!! If not it will cost you 5 times that with a parking ticket in the windshield when you get back to your truck !!!!

When boating, it will cost you more if you: ride the bow, ride the gunnel, ride the motorbox etc.

I will help review more of these facts on Friday night. We want to make sure everyone has a great time, and stays hassle free..

We will will start parking boats at the Legion Hall, which is just North of South Street on Lake in downtown Green Lake, on Friday at 4:30pm. More info to follow..

Nah Adam, Ive never been boarded out there... but being prepared is definitely the way to go!

Moj, what about a horn- is that required?

We're about 24 hrs away from hitting the road.

No, I am not part of Todd Utter's registration. I registered separately. (Todd is my brother.) I registered 5 people (me & 4 guests). My credit card has been charged $135. I registered on or about June 30.

Thanks,
Tracy

Tracy,

I sent Keith an email to look into this. In any case don't let this bother you, we'll figure it out.

So cool we are going to get to see you again! Is Jo coming too? Looks like the weather is going to be a lot better this year than the last time you guys came!

I was able to get a room at the Green Lake Inn at the last minute about a half mile up the road from the campground I'm told. They may still have rooms available.

I can't wait to see everyone, going to be a great time this year!

Good and bad news from the Boat Dr. camp, change of plans on our departure date.Previous plan was to leave La. on Wed. afternoon and drive straight thru. 19 hours plus gas stops, too old to do that again.............
Change of plan, why not leave today ..........Yukon is packed , all that we have to do is back up, drop the ball and navigate North..
Karen and I will turn this into a mini vacation on the way up..
looking for those out of the way / gotta see / cool areas. Any tips are needed. We will travel almost due North from La, and a detour will be a blessing, any idea,s guys.

Nope, none.... Not needed..

81Nautique,

Thanks for your help. No worries--we'll be there. Let me know if you need any more info. I sent Keith a few emails last week--one with an attachment showing the registration info--bringing my boat (76 Ski Tique) & 4 guests, etc.

Thanks again,
Tracy

Hey all

I'm already registered as me +1 but looks like we're bringing the kiddos (9 and 10) afterall. How do I add two more?

Thanks! Looking forward to meeting many of you this coming weekend.

What Mojo said, If you're coming Friday night check in at the pop up tent to get your registration packet, you can settle up with the lovely ladies then if you have additional guests. Shirts will also be for sale on site both nights.

Lord I hope so...I'm so sick of rain down here in GA. It's rained just about everyday since mid June. Heck I feel like I'm in Fla but w/o the beach. Is the Sun still up there?

**edit**

BTW...the many posts about how to get there has this Southern boy all confused... Jackie and I are driving up from Milwaukee so should I just plan on taking 894/45 North to 41 North to 23 west?

Weather that you should be used to Tim,752am ,77 degrees ,100% humidity. Supposed to be 91 today

Billy called a little while ago. They left LA last night and drove straight thru the night. They were around 200 miles from Chitown.

Sounds like he should have been a truck driver!   

Party time! What time do you think you will be rolling into the I 80 area?

Scratch that just talked on the phone!



I am planning on bringing some service parts along impellers all that jazz for the just in case. Anyone have any other ideas of things they might like to see or check out? Anyone I have been working with that wants to save shipping?
