For those of you planning to stay at the http://www.cityofgreenlake.com/citygl/Runscript.asp?Page=27&p=ASP%5CPg27.asp - Hattie Sherwood Campground , we are holding sites through April 15th.

As long as we secure enough sites close to the boat ramp, Friday night's gathering will be at the campground. I have reserved all the strategic sites in that area for our group. When you book your site, let Reggie know you're with the CorrectCraftFan.com Reunion, and request sites 30-38 (those in black on the map below).



Let Dave or I know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Keith

Keith, just a comment, those sites in black are tent camping only. Trailers or motorhomes would have to be in the red areas. I'd hate to see someone show up and not be able to fit in their site.

That would be camping trailers, right Alan? We had no problems fitting the truck + trailer lengthwise in a regular camp site last year. Im all booked up for site #29.

Correct Tim, Camping trailers and Motorhome typically go up on the top (red)level of the camground. There's plenty of room for your rig but that probably depends on how many you're bringing!!!

Just a side note to everyone, the campground manager Reggie is new at the campground this year so make sure she knows how big your camper is and gets you in an appropriate site.

Roger, what are you cruising in up to GL? Or are you renting something up there like we are this year. As it draws closer, we can talk more about where we can meet up along the road to re-form our CC-convoy from last year,....good buddy. I can't recall this minute where you're coming out of, I just remember it being east of us, and we're at Lake Norman. It's gonna be fun, esp if we can get a few more to tag along. Hopefully MaddMarxx and Lisa will rejoin. And maybe Greg and Buffalo from Atl, and on and on.

When would you be be going to GL & do you go by way of Indy? I am leaving Thurs morn. I do not like Chicago so anytime I go to WI to the West I take I-74, I-39 through Madison . A little longer but better driving. Thats how I go with the coach whenever I go to Madison or the Dells area. Did GL last year that way.

Going to drive the Motorhome up pulling the 80. We are just off Lake Jordan in New Hill.

I sent you an email earlier about how you guys go up as far as when you leave and how often you stop. You must not have received it. It will be Cathie and I and our 2 mutts.

Really looking forward to the trip.... except for the fuel prices

Ouch, as far as driving through the city north it's all about timing and which route, do it at the right time and it's not so bad. I have read that I-80 between 65 and 294 is one of the most traveled roads in the country.

Guys,
Quinner is right. It's all about timing..

WHATEVER YOU DO, do not go up through 94 and the Skiway to get to Wisconsin... I saw the pics of Reids crew (I believe) going into the city.. Screw that...

Stay on 80-94 to the toll way 294 and go stright up to the 894 bypass around MIlwaukee. Please trust me, it's the best route up to Quinners and North.. You just can't hit these Chicago roads during rush hours times... Hit it mid day and or at night, and it's wide open...

Keep the faith Mr. Behl (that is a long way out of they way coming up from Indy, Via Madison...

Just let me know when you're all coming up from the South, Because I gotta see this train coming through !!!!!

Most of the time when I have the coach in Chicago it is for a shopping trip or an afternoon Cubs game. I use the I-90, Stony Island, Lakeshore and Irving Park. Not bad going in but bad leaving downtown after the games. Have nt been that way since I-65 is closed at I-80/94 to I-90. Time will tell for I already have a couple of Cubs games booked.

Steve, I'm not sure I understand the logic behind your route. Are you saying you have a hard time with this?:



The route you mentioned is how we initially left GL last year with our group, and you're right it was nice. We came UP thru Chicago, (on the wrong road by the way) since we were headed to Quinner's place. However, when I went back several weeks later with Marshall to pick up our camper and left out late in the evening, we rolled right thru Chicago at 65 mph no problem.

If going up I-65 cut off at Exit 230 Roselawn, go West to route 1 in IL. Turn North it becomes 394 after a few mile which brings you out at I-294. Trucks use that way all the time to miss the back-ups on I80/94.

Greg, that's fantastic! And what a great beer(s) it will be.

Roger, could you please re-send that email to reidp@bellsouth.net. I don't believe we've decided as a group yet just when we're leaving. Last year I think Weds was our main drive day. Because of the length of the trip, I certainly wanted to have at least Thur-Sun at GL.

EDIT: Roger, would you mind if we put all the women in your coach so we don't have to make so many pee breaks? I'll lend you a set of really good industrial strength ear plugs.

Part of Chicago's downtown traffic problem are those rednecks towing trailers w/o brake lights just to get to Wisconsin.

Talked to Marshall about that and he checked and was told that the fastest Correct Craft at any one gathering is not required to have operating tail lights. But since his boat broke down last year at GL and never exhibited its potential, he was obviously in violation. But this year he's so confident he plans to rip the lights right off. And since BoatDr is afraid of a little close competition and not showing up, Marshall will probably be legal w/o lights. The right one's working isn't it?

With only one light working does that make it half fast?

Sorry couldn't pass on that one.

Think I'll watch the convoy thread and see if we can hook up for the final hours this year.

If you plan to hook up with us, you will definitely need to make sure YOUR trailer lights are working as I've ridden in your boat. But man that trailer shore looks good!

Same here. Got a new tow vehicle, so maybe I can keep up with the crowd on land at least. I'd be willing to go a little out of the way to roll in the CC convoy.

Ran the mileage thru my DOT approved mileage router and from Northside of Indy and with without any traffic in Chicago going by way of I-74 and I-39 thru Madison, WI it is 78 miles greater and only 20 minutes longer in time. Factor in stopping for tolls and traffic I would bet it could be faster. All depends on time of day

By way of I-74 there is 17 miles of tolls & by of Chicago 77 miles each way.

When Greg first mentioned this he said it would be shorter distance to tow the boat if we took mine....then he said we would have to cover up the name with with a Nautique sticker!

Good deal Tom. But if you guys decide to bring yours, you'll probably want to bring some additional items besides the sticker. Like maybe full body armor, a bunch of those REALLY large fenders, a paper bag, and some NO-DOZ.

As for the campground, I've got sites #27,26,25 and 24 reserved. Party Row!! That's one for me and Laurie, Boaty and Skipper (just one site), one for Marshall (Mark and Lisa- you should slide into that camper one with him), one for Rodney's 'bago (he'll have his light blue '72 Skier), and one for Ruch (don't know what boat he'll have, but probably the Classic, to which I've added 3 more HP so now it's 1/10mph "faster" than Mark. HW, if you're gonna be at Hattie, grab 23.

Sounds like a great plan, might want to bring some wheel chocks for the Trailer there is a bit of a slope there, but a good view of the comings and goings of the boat launch.

"Midwest" has a better chance of having emply coolers than one might think. We NC folks really like to drink from other folks coolers. That way we always know that we can get a beer from ours when needed.... when others run out.

Tom, Mark had the printed-out directions and he can't even tell you the route, so you know he was sleeping. I think Lisa drove the whole way for them. As for driving thru Kentucky, ever since I moved from there after divorcing my sister, I've not been allowed to return. So we went up 77 to Charleston to 64 to 35 across Ohio to Dayton to 70 to Indy, etc. Make sense? Where can you hook up with if we follow that same route, or maybe we change to the "I-40 to I-75" route? OK now, I just checked and it's 40miles further and supposedly 23 minutes longer, but we wouldn't have to go thru Dayton which sucked, and would save us alot more than 23 minutes. So as of now, that'll be our new plan/route. Where you going to meet us? I hope this will be OK with Critter as well. Roger, any thoughts?

Last year, our group hit the road after work on Tues about 6 PM. We drove as planned for about 6hrs into WV and took a 5hr cat nap, then hit the trail non-stop til we arrived at Quinner's about 7PM. Got up and arrived in GL sometime around noon. Some folks like to cruise all night when the traffic is nil, some want to enjoy the scenery, but with this distance you're gonna get both unless you take several full days to get there. I anticipate it taking us a good 18 hrs of driving time. So for anyone that's interested in joining in on our caravan, please lets discuss the issues and see how we can best accommodate the most.   I tentatively thought we could leave 6PM from I77/I40 X in NC, drive 6hrs up into KY just south of Lexington, sleep 6hrs, drive 12 more straight having skirted Chitown in the early afternoon putting us is GL about 5-6 PM, and perfect timing for unwinding at the Goose'.

ReidP,

Sounds good to me. It looks like I77 I40 xroads is 2.5 hours from my house. So I should be able to make that by 6pm without issue.
There are leaders and there are followers and for this trip I will be the follower. So far, from what I have seen posted, it all looks good to me.... except for all the females riding with me. I will already have a wife and 2 female dogs. I will already be doing part.

Tom & I are down in the slum section. We have #31 in the tent area. Plans are to leave on Wednesday, finish the trip on Thursday. Start back sometime late on Sunday, finish on Monday.


Greg and Tom, when I wrote my last schpeel above I had forgotten your post here. The two of you together could hook up and drive 12 hrs on Weds, couldn't you. With us hitting IL Weds early afternoon, would that be a day early for some others to possibly join in? The time up there just goes by way too fast, so I'd really like to be up there Weds PM if possible.

Roger, thanks for your flexibility. But I can't believe you won't take one for the good of team so we can limit the onslaught of pee breaks. Well I guess then that they'll have to ride with me as I just found out yesterday that I'm driving Rodney's Winnebago Rialta w/ the 72 Skier up there as he's flying.

If you are in a Winnebago and I am in a Coachman then neither of us have to stop for pee breaks.. Cruise Control is for switching drivers for pee break. Check your manual

I'll do whatever works best for Greg.I get hoked up with him somewhere even if my wife has to drop me along side the interstate somewhere to meet up....lol
Never did understand why it take me 8 hrs to get to his house but only 5.5 to Mooresville...lol

Hey skicat....don't worry about having to contact security to protect your camp. Police forces these days have computers that share info so it is a fact that they will know you are in town....be sure your stern light works!

Tom: We already know what a cool guy skicat is...meeting both of you guys at Reid's was a treat. But being nice has nothing to do with being a law-breaking scuflaw. I too noticed that he had nothing to say about night-time ski driving. But I'd be concerened about this "pulling" stuff. Hope you guys got seperate tents.

Hope you and yours are fine after the big storm Greg.

You took that wrong Jbear ...lol....Im just saying you guys took your lives into your own hands that evening...his night time vision on the water is suspect at best....lol
And for him being a law-breaking scuffaw I couldnt agree with ya more!
I talked to Greg and his wife last night after the storm,they were fine but another round of storms is predicted for today.

We survived the storms ok. Had to make a quick run up to help out with the horses at the barn my daughter has her horse, but they all came through ok. This area is a mess looking at the pics on the tv. The other Greg lives up right in the path of the storms, any word Greg? You guys make it through?

Glad to hear you guys came thru ok.

Hope we hear from the "other" Greg soon. Not like him not to be on here.

Saw the pictures on tv...kinda unbelievable. Did you guys have any weather warnings?

We did have warnings. We were at home with a basement & left to go right where the storm came through to make sure the horses & the ladies at the barn were ok. Doesn't sound like the smart thing to do does it?

Well you had to help the ladies and the horses. Otherwise you would not have been able to live with yourselves.

Hey guys, I haven't been following this topic with everything else going on. We're fine here and we appreciate yall thinking of us!

Man what a storm! Cat was right earlier in this thread...the center of a cell passed just a couple of miles from here. We had the heaviest rain I've seen north of south florida and marble size hail that accumulated?!!? That's an interesting place to be in the world when the sky turns green...

It turned into a storm party though. I had a few friends who were out working who decided my basement might be a good place to be!

Great idea HW!
MM, I might just take 34 from you just in case I CAN'T MAKE IT UP THE HILL!

Shaping up like 27 thru 21, WILL BE the place for FUN. Or, 21 thru 27,......Correct Craft Heaven. Par-ty row. Meanwhile, 29 thru 38 conjures up a complete other meaning for pitching a tent. Just kiddin' sword fighters.

Excellent Tom!! I've had Apple Pie coming out my ears since last July.

To further the notion that the campground will indeed be party central, I've heard it from good authority that QUINNER may now be taking up official residence there. Oh...my...god. Keep your doors locks and your zippers up (on the tents that is).

With "Quinner" running around the campground at night, maybe we should all think about a group buy on "chasity belts"!

I currently have it in my possession complete with a fifth of Rumpleminz provided by 81 and Dana. It will be making the trip for sure, regardless of who has it at the time.
