Just 1 shirt, it's made of Tyvek, just hose it off and it's dry in minutes to wear again. |

I was kinda wondering Pete, do you have a collection of those white long sleeve shirts or is there only one well used one?

Larry , As Charlie mentioned, the lift over the dam is on the channel between Long and Cranberry. The picture I posted this morning is of the group returning from the dam and lift in that channel. We were at the dam when a couple boats where being lifted with the gantry hoist. The gantry on the high side (Three Lakes) |

Larry all of the lakes on the upper (Three Lakes) chain are skiable with slow no wakes in 3 of the channels. The lower ( Eagle Chain) is accessible by means of a rolling gantry type lift at the Burnt Rollway Dam. The lower chain has more slow no wakes and is usually busier. They have also had a significant problem with millfoil. We had a small turnout but it was great to see everyone and we had a good day for a cruise. Pete had more on water time on Saturday than he has in the last 2-3 years!

I was looking at a map the other day Pete. Looks like a boater's paradise. Would love to make it up there some day to explore, but as the guys around here would say, I'd have to leave NC for that to happen. But it looks great. It looks like you can start at Big then Dog - Deer - Big Stone - Laural - Medicine - Little Fork - Then either Big Fork - Four Mile or Island - Round Planting Ground (side trips to Town Line and Range Line - Then Long. Then is the river from Long to Cranberry Navigable? Doesnt look like it. But then once Cranberry, on to more. Didnt you say somewhere back in this thread that there is a lift from one lake to another? Where is that and how does that work.? Do any of the lakes have HP/speed restrictions or are they all skiable? Doesnt seem like you would ever have a problem finding decent water.

Retuning from the Burnt Rollways dam:
Charlie (brady) taking the picture in my Tique next Dave (overmyhead) and his son Austin then Joel (swany) and Brian (illiniball2000) then Jeff (redritereturn) and his brother Dan BTW thanks to Joel (m3fan) for dumping the mini on me !! Really, it was a great time. My next project will be to see if I can organize a formal full reunion sometime in the near future. Many comments were made that due to the fantastic water/lakes on the chain that it would be great to replace the GL reunion sometime. The largest inland chain of 28 lakes. 20 boatable on the Three Lakes side. |

Thanks to Pete for setting up a plan for the weekend. Also thanks to Charlie for using is place as a gathering site. The boathouse is very cool. I have some pictures on my phone but haven't been successful in getting them on here. I will put them up when I get to my computer.
Thanks again, Brian |

Just wanted to thank all of you guys for a great day on Saturday! It was nice to meet all of you!
I think my boat was in shock, it hasn't been touching the water for that many hours in years! -Jeff |

Ken, Well I did not get out there on the tube BUT, considering your offer, I'll work on it. The mini went well. Nice weather and we had 5 boats out. Mostly cruising the great water up here, seeing the sites and enjoying old and new CCfan friends. I think there are some pictures coming. |

I'll make a 50 buck donation to CCF for a picture of Pete cruisin' along on a tube.
A real picture, no photoshop preferably with the rope tied to the "rear tubing eye" 10 extra if he's wearing the white long sleeved shirt. |

Ok, we'll make Jakes the place to meet but, I may not make it. I do go to bed pretty early plus I have some care giving responsibilities that I'll explain in person.
Regarding tomorrow morning, if anyone wants to ski, I'm offering my dock and I know Charlie will too. I'm in the south bay of Medicine lake and the Tique is in the lift. Again, Charlie has the big white boathouse on the large section of Laurel lake. |

Swany and I will be in early evening. We are working in the am and will leave shortly after lunch.
I don't know if Swany will want to grab his boat tonight or in the am. Otherwise we like beer and food. Let us know where you end up. Brian 847-532-4107 |

Dave,
Just east about a block from the campground on 32 is Jakes Third Hole. Besides their adult beverages, I've never been disappointed with the food ether. What's you ETA? Joel and Brian are driving up today but I don't know when they will arrive. Maybe Joel will chime in. |
