Hey, everyone, We're considering a CCF reunion this summer (2017) on the Lake James chain in Steuben Co, IN, the second one to be held here. Any thoughts, suggestions, other input are definitely welcome! For those of you not familiar with this area, it is the home of the former Midwest Correct Craft distribution, etc. center and there are countless CC owners on the multiple lakes in the county. Can be a great time for all! LJSC Showskier I can also be contacted @ sbskier@hotmail.com ------------- LJSC showskier |

Hey Sue! Sounds like a plan, let me know if you need anything. Hopefully I could convince the family to camping, last camping trip did not go quite well  ------------- Kostas http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6700&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1984 Ski Nautique 2001 |

| We were penciling in a July weekend at lake James so we could bring the Hurricane to the wood boat show, that is usually late July. 2 years ago We did the wood boat show on Saturday and then Skied with Tom and Sue on Sunday and had a blast. Anyway, we'd probably be in for any weekend you guys pick but let's get a date down and make it happen. |

I do believe that weekend is a bust as Lake James' 4th of July celebration is that Sat. and the place is a living madhouse then, from what I'm told. May want to hang on till Sue makes mention before booking anything.. She's also trying to tie it in with the local marina guys so there is a space for the boat display etc. ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

Hah, don't think Madhouse is reserved for that weekend though, one of the mornings me Kirk and Paul were skiing the tubers started hitting the water just after 7am, definitely not a good skiing lake on the weekends. We are a no go for sure if either weekend before/after the 4th, that is our annual Glen Lake trip.time. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

If Green Lake is cancelled this year then we need something to replace it. 3 years is too long and we don't want Quinner to miss an oprotunity to damage his new swim platform. I agree that 4th of July weekend is going to be a disaster, but getting dates on the table will likely increase participation. Who's bringing the tube canon? ------------- 1999 Ski Nautique 196 |

Just north of Pokagon State Park, south of I-90 along I-69, are some hotels (Holiday Inn, Confort Inn, ect) or if available in the State Park is Potawatomi Inn. I have also had good luck doing VRBO.com or AirBnB.com.

| Lake James gets a little crazy on the weekend but there is a sandbar on the second basin that normally doesn't get too crowded, and there is a public access site on Jimmerson Lake because the channel bait shop gets congested on with all the traffic. |
