Too bad the Potawatomi Inn is booked. I try to stay there whenever I am in northeast Indiana on business. Great old place. Plus, they have a few docks for guests boats. The one bad thing is they don't serve booze. But, they do have plenty of puzzles and games for everyone.
So, is everybody leaning toward camping or hotels? I think camping would be fun if we could get enough campsites together. Its a very nice park. The park was built back during the Depression as a government works project. All the cool old wood beam buildings are still there, and good as new. |

The Wise family will be arriving in the classic Winnebago, boat in tow..., Thursday August 8th and staying at site #104 (right next to Kaptin Kirk).
BTW- these sites are numbered really weird, don't assume site #105 is next to site #106... |

Booked 108. Any of you guy's familiar with this park?? Hopefully will be enough parking for boats/trailers where we are at.
For any of you guys on the fence, book a site now, if for some reason u cant make it, u have up to 7 days prior to cancel for a $10 fee. |

That's great Randy now I can repay some of my sponge dept off lol
1st. the campground is broken up in to 5 sections. Section 1 is at the highest point and in my opinion by far the best, but I will warn you now its kinda narrow so the motor home pulling the boat might make the wife close her eyes for a few but I have a solution for the boats more to come on that later.A truck and boat will be easier and with every ones backing skills you should be good to go.  Next order of business is the Logistics of where to meet and where to drop the boats in ? I have met with the owners of Dry Dock and we have come up with a great plan that will solve all our problems. I can't say enough these guys will be the ones who take all the credit when credit is due ! I need a little more time to come up with all the details but I assure you won't be disappointed But as a teaser WE might have the pleasure of the Maloons joining in on the fun and who knows maybe they will break out a classic The gas station that's on the water is ethenal free  and last for now Chris Patton who used to work at Midwest might also have a surprise for us  |

It's a long shot, but we're booked. It may be for only one night, but I have site #123 for Friday and Saturday nights, in case the Buckethead is scheduled on a different weekend.

There are still some campsites available in campground 1 Anybody thinking about it reserve now and one can always cancel.
If my math is right I'm counting 14 boats so far |

'78 Orange SN will definitely be there! (It's a given, since we live here!) DO have an open side of the pier if anyone needs a space in the water. Just give us a heads up!

I'm assuming the LJ is Lake James. What does the SC stand for? What team do you ski with? |

LJSC= Lake James Sports Club (we became a year-round activities organization; hence the name change from 'ski club' to 'sports' etc.) Sadly, we're no longer an active group, but many of us are still around, doing what we've always done: slalom, trick, ballet, swivel, build pyramids, barefoot; you know, SKI!!!!!

Hey, Toe,
Beware the week-ends; as you might expect, it's a little crazy (even though the weather this year has not been stellar on wk-nds); after this week, the va-ca crowd will have thinned a bit, so Mondays are sometimes nice (weather permitting, of course!) Mon-Tues-Weds ok, Thurs can see early wk-nd traffic, esp. in evening. You choose.... |
