09 Midwest CC Reunion

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Dave and Alan, let me know if I can help you guys out at all.

i think it's a great idea so Reid get to dialing and get it reserved.

I'm sure the house would be fine it's just the mass' of people and trailers all around it that would scare them.

Yea but that one time will be a blast Kevin.

cool

what's the scoop on barney and the noise ordinance?

Alan the BFN radar is never off. I saw the one johnny is looking at I think. $12k doesn't sound to bad for a BFN with a 502 EFI motor in it. I like blue. Have to talk to the wife, but then the red 87 would be for sale.

Its a smart man doesn't mess with his working ski boat unless he has a back up. My back up the last few years has been my outboard ski boat.. .it doesn't work, once you go inboard you can't go back.

Johnny does not have a BFN, yet. He was looking at one in NE area but it has been winterized already. Possibly when the lakes thaw next spring he'll have a CC on the otherside of the pier from us.

Thread jack when did I miss Johnny getting a BFN?

I would like the event to change week ends well, but you still see that I am going. Small price to pay for such a good time. In fact I had so much fun last year I will be arriving a day earlier this year.

I'd like to but probably not going to happen this trip. We've got tons of family to visit as we really only get back home 1-2 times a year. We decided to drive this year instead of fly so that cuts into our time as well, we'll get in wed night and head out sat night. If I push it and put on some driving tunes we can do it in about 16 hours. eeegads what was I thinking, sure lets drive this year it'll be FUN.

Interesting idea Reid.. There are several large homes for rent on Green, and while there is no beaches per say, they are out there and availble.

Once before we bought property up there, we rented a 6 room farm house which had access/pier and sitting area on the water.. It was a lot of fun.. I don't remember what the cost was, but split between the 6 couples we had it wasn't anything !!

The only typical restriction up there is that most rentals are done by the week (sat to sat)..Anyone interested, there is a great little cottage right on the West side of the water bridge, across from the campground for rent.. It's right on the water, complete with piers. I'll check on the rates etc..

Sorta make a summer home out of it. But if you're really interested I'm driving out to Rhode Island next weekend and could drop it off maybe bring Johnny's BFN home if you get a chance to look it over!!

Doesnt sound like that will happen this fall- I told Johnny to keep me in the loop.

If youre going to be in the area very long, let me know if you want to grab a beer!

Ill have to pass on the Bounder for now... no room here in MA and if I try and park a toy that size at my parents house I think theyll kill me.

Ha, what about when towing? You upgrading?

Im afraid that Ill have to hold off for now- Im preoccupied with adding to my CC collection. Reid says that once I own at least 3, he'll start calling me Admiral.

Just let me say that looking at alternative locations has certainly been tossed around, quite extensively... What everyone needs to understand that to make the GL reunion as nice of a weekend that it is goes beyond the accommodations, bars, gas dock dollies etc (not in that order of course),, but.

It boils down that we get the support from the sponsors like ,Correct Craft. They don't have "reunion" coverage and or get togethers in the upper Midwest. This event gives them a very low cost way of supporting CC owners up here. That's where demos, drivers, wakeboarders come from !!!!!..

Please remember, and don't take this out of context, or to heart, but GL was intended to be a Midwest Reunion site (as thought up 2 years to the month ago). It just so happen that due to the fact that Green Lake is a beautiful place to boat, and to stay, is the sole reason why everyone wants to come back !!!

There must be hundreds of other spots to hold a reunion, but to make it fun, enjoyable and a place you want to actually allot time to vacation to, you have to think of what is needed for "support" to make it happen... With some work and some luck, we've created a fun time for all of us to come back to. The formula all the way around makes this the perfect Midwest gathering spot.

We've had the event the same weekend for two years now.. As far as the timing from the 4th is not the greatest, but for GL it's the perfect time to be there. With the Air show, sailing regattas, fishing tournaments, music festivals, the town gets busy and the waters crowded.. Everyone just needs to suck-it-up and plan on it the same ever year if they really want to come...

Anyone who thinks they have a perfect spot, has the time, has a solid group of CCfan members in the area, I encourage you to set up a regional event. Keith and Alan certainly have the contacts.. If not just know that GL is solid unless Keith someday changes it..

Just my insight for the day... More info will be coming your way regarding the reunion in the next week or two as we finalize plans with Keith and the Sponsors... Look forward to seeing you all again next summer....
