Green Lake 09’

Nautiquehunter wrote: I have never been to GL and I don't know any of you or your preference for campsites. If you wanted 37 and 38 I would have given them to you. I called Reggy today and changed my reservation to 6 and 8. Now if anybody else has a clam on those campsites let me know and I will change them again. There is no need to bitch at anyone.

Hope you didn't take any of that too seriously, its a friendly group and we love new people. It was a simple and rare mistake on Reggie's part and no bitching was required to straighten it out. I called and made reservations the day the dates for this year were announced and while I do like the waterfront spots I would have went anywhere if they were already booked. Mostly, I just wanted to make sure we didn't both show up with reservations for the same sites.

Looking forward to meeting the Hunter clan!

Michael,

Saw your boat on PN, very nice, for a WakeBoat, LOL. Killer wheels on the trailer!!
Believe Alan is in 2 and I have 4, so it looks like we will be neighbors for a few days, you better bring your locking cooler!!

No biggie, the Lakeside is directly across the street from the boat ramp and attached to the Goose Blind, hard to go wrong there. You're in good shape

Lakeside is literally 40 feet across the street from the boat ramp. Some have rented a slip at the Marina, which is at the boat ramp, but really not necessary.

Water temp will not be in the mid 80s, but no one was wearing wetsuits. Only our friends from the deep south seemed to mind the water temps. We took shorties last year. Wife may have used hers, but I did not. I would say a shorty is sufficient.

Kind of a small to mid size market on the outside of town probably 3-4 miles. Several restaurants in town. "The Little Corporal" is a diner/breakfast joint/ice cream shop where many of us went for breakfast. It's right in town, probably 1/2 mile walk from the campground.

For Coffee in the morning seek out Critter's motorhome. He makes a good pot of coffee.

Bruce,

If you stay at the campsite or one of the hotels near town, just about everything you would need is within walking distance.

Chris,

Bike or bicycle trails? Not sure about that, if you are camping bicycles would be great for back and forth to town.

Bruce,
A 20 minute bike ride from the campground would get you to the Green Lake Conference Center, where it would be pretty cool to bike around in there for an afternoon.

A $5 ramp fee is more than reasonable.

There is but not accessible from the campground. He, you, them, can bike into town and around.. It's a pretty nice town to ride in and check out.. I heard something about a haunted cemetary too

Good to hear Tim. We're in the same league then. I do remember you leaving Sokokis because they wanted you to remove your tent from the runway.

Mike, I'm glad you've gotten things worked out at the campground.. If they were more laid back there, they'd be dead LOL.. You'll have a great time. Quinner's right, bring the lock for your cooler if you're camping near him !!! Moj'

No problem with the campground I am pretty laid back also as long as I am somewhere in the area that's OK. I almost hate to bring this up but we don't drink beer. Is there a favorite brand I could offer to guests at my place. My cooler is always open but you may not find beer in it.

Hey Nautiquehunter. Definitely bring your cover so you can toss it over the boat at night. The campground has lots of trees, which is nice for shade and makes for a nice setting, but, particularly with a new boat, you don't leaves and such dropping in the boat overnight.

Mike,
No problem on the beer.. Just leave some plastic cups out along with a cooler of ice, Captain Morgan and coke, and we'll get along just fine And if you don't endulge in any libations, we all like a good cold bottle of water around 3AM..... LOL..

Hollywood's in 23? Well I've now got 24 and 25 sewn up. Party row is shaping up again nicely for this year.

I hoping Keith is gonna make a new tradition of the Top Speed trophies this year at GL which MaddMarxx brought to the table at the St Johns, where the good Doctor evened up the score. There should be a handful of fast boats in GL this year.
