Need to get back there in the future!
Wished I would have been there...
Can't wait to see the pictures pouring in here

Happy belated birthday Dave. Sorry I missed your party. So when do we get some pics? I have been waiting patiently.

For those who didn't get the chance to come out, you missed a great time... The air was hot, the water was warm, and the beer was cold.. Other than the typical GL winds that wreck the lake during the day, most found some water to play on at some point. Temps were up around 90, so the breeze was definately needed !!

Thursday was my 50th B-day and on Fri night, while thinking we were going to the Goose, came back to the house to the suprise of my life. Everyone present that came to the lake graced me with one hell of a party. One that I truely will never, ever forget !!! I felt damn blessed to have so many people I can truley call my friends take time to celebrate my half century... !!!!

Sat night treated us to a bug free, beautiful night at the park where everyone cooked their meals and ate some nice mid season corn off the grill. It was so enjoyable, we sat out until almost 11pm before raging on the Goose for the 6th year in a row.. For those who were kicked out of the bar late after close, and actually saw the "Northern Lights", you got a pretty good show !!!

Sunday came, and for many loyal CCfan'rs we did what we normally do, hit a cove, hang out, talk smack, drank some more and were bummed as the last left to head home...

Green Lake is alive and well, and will hopefully be a part of the future reunion plans to come.. Thanks to all that came out to spend time with us..

It was really great to meet the group on Saturday afternoon. Thanks for being so welcoming. Sorry we couldn't make the BBQ at the end of the day. Hopefully next year when the GL reunion roles around.

See ya on the lake

Wow, That parking lot sure looks empty compared to previous years.   

I miss everyone. I need to spend more time with my ACBS duties and GL always took away from it. Certainly not that I minded but the GL going non official this year will allow me to spend more of my vacation time with the chapter.

Gary,
You are now on permanent vacation!!!    

Well, I didn't make it over to Norwegian Bay when they were doing the speed runs, so I don't know if this will officially-unofficially count, but this is the max speed my GPS read as I was leaving with the '75 SkiTique. Earlier it maxed at 50 mph. It's slower than 2 yrs ago, must be due to the warmer water and the blue green algae issues this year.... Actually, it's likely due to having a passenger two years ago and empty this year. I heard that during the runs the Barracuda placed first at 45 mph.

Yeah, no joke.... Mosquitoes carry the girls and I off last year, Sydney bails out of her hammock due to heavy rain. Water rough every where, two years prior we freeze our Arse off IN JULY and and the year we don't go it's pristine conditions... GO FIGURE!

Enjoy gang and post plenty of pics...

I'm off to do lunch with the Jbear as he's on his way to TN.

And now the pain sets in… You guys be safe, have fun, and do us proud out there this week! We have some aweful nice plans going for owasco lake this weekend but my thoughts will be in GL!

Ok so Green Lake excitement is finally setting in so we've decided to leave tonight after work and spend a night in the campground. Anyone gonna be there for a beer about 1AM?

Anyone needing a wetsuit out on Big Green now, needs a serious blood transfusion.. Everywhere but the very center, the water is reaching 80+ degrees. The lastest hot spell has also brought some really flat water.. Lets hope the trend continues..

Again, baring any rain, we will have a cook out in the main park, where we'll do another corn broil. The rest is up to what you bring to cook and or share.. We'll have the 6 foot charcoal grill flat top and a gas grill.. There are a couple of small charcoal grills there on site to use as well. If anyone has a small portable grill, that would be great if you could bring it that night...

Beer and wine are allowed in the park as well, so BYOB-it...

Anyone with a volleyball net, that wouldn't mind bringing it, the park is a great place for a friendly game with fellow CCfaners.

Looking forward to see everyone there. I know you'll all enjoy the new boardwalk, new Action Marina, and of course "Da Goose" !!!!

If I can get Camp Grow's SkiTique over he'll have about 53 mph to beat. That's what it was GPS'd at in Norwegian Bay in really rough water (for top speed runs) 2 yrs ago at the reunion. Didn't bother GPSing last year 'cause I knew it wasn't enough to place. Be glad it's not my boat - I'd consider a taller pitch prop just for the run. :) I think there's more left in her - it get's there really quick, but I'm not certain if a pitch change would do it. It's turning 5300 rpm at speed right now - it stays real close to 100 rpm per mph all the way up. Anyone have some advice? I wouldn't have time to take it - just really am interested in learning what might help it.
