Three Lakes, WI Reunion 2017

Joel,
Does it need to be inside?

Some have expressed interest in running the slalom course. so, Saturday morning anyone wanting a run can meet by car or boat at the Three Lakes water ski park. We will be using the ski clubs coarse as well as their 200 with the H6 (450 HP) engine!! I'll announce a time later.

Then the boat house get together is still set for Saturday.

Just checked on some options:

Northernaire. ~$205/night. Getting tight on rooms.
Oneida: ~$95/night. Plenty of rooms.
Weasel's: Burned down, but you had to pay with lots of $1 bills.

Going to check a few others.

Where will the main action be Pete? Don't want to to stay on the far north side if all the action is on the far south side.

You are right Pete! I knew what Weasel's is/was. A fine Northwoods Gentleman's Club. Everybody in the Midwest knows of Weasel's. Was never there....that I recall.

Anyway, Three Lakes was great. I remember being at Northernaire, and when you get out of the car, the smell of fresh air, and pine tree's was very refreshing. And you get to live there. Must be rough. Very cool you had your wedding reception there.   

I need to touch base with him, but Dave Autio was also thinking of coming to the mini as well. Sounds like this might have the makings to be a fun outing.

Do they still have that hotel in town called Weasel's (I think it was?). Some friends told me about it. I was never there though.

Your friends might not be the friends you think they are... Weasels - not so much a hotel, brothel maybe, definitely not a hotel. Anyway, I think it burned down during snowmobile season a few years back when there was little snow...

Dave,
The mini has been switched to the Three Lakes chain. Less traffic, lots more water and a slalom coarse. Also that's were Charlie's boat hose is (Laurel lake north shore BIG and white -google map it) and we'll end up Saturday evening for food. It's planed for a BYO and we'll have the charcoal going.

Regarding lodging, here's the Three Lakes Chamber site. Go to the directory and select lodging. Plenty of resorts but chances are very high that they will be booked.
My three choices:

The Northernaire High end but they have docks.

Oneida Village An older hotel in downtown Three Lakes. Boats would need to be trailered

Then there's the Triangle. No website and very basic. Reminiscent of a motor lodge from the past you would find on route 66! 715 546 2443 Trailering of the boat is needed as well.

If anyone finds lodging other than the ones listed, post it and I'll comment.

I believe we are going to be there, looking forward to it.

Pete,
Thanks for taking the reigns on this one. I am not looking for an official plan but was wanting to get some suggestions for places to stay? Trying to make this work but will need to lock in my plan in the near future.
Thanks for your help,
Brian

I am interested in the Reunion. Do you have a date set. I would love to bring my '64 Ski Nautique over from Spread Eagle. August 19th would work for me.

Brian,
We're still shooting for the 19th of August.

If this is happening on the 19th we may be up there that weekend and would like to join the festivities.
Thanks,
Jim

We have a wedding the weekend of the 19th so we are out. Have fun

Tom...we'll be up on Cranberry a few times probably the next month..but not with the Nautique..with the Mirrocraft fishing boat! We love fishing that lake! :)

Considering the nationals on the 12th and Watercraft Sales anniversary on the 5th,, we'll go for the 19th.

can we get a solid date for this? My calendar is filling fast.
