Maybe not John... But at least they won't look too surprised if I start speaking french when I start getting drunk LOL

So, with a Month or so to go, we have 22 boats?????????????? We go from 60 to less than half?? Now I know a lot of our long distance friends can't make it this year, but where's the rest of our Midwest contigency?? How about the Eastern Mainstays ???

I already promised warm temps and warmer water this year...

Come on now... Winter is long over and Spring skiing is already happening.. Please get on and register, so we can complete the planning and such...

Thursday night is of course open to anyone wanting to stop by the park and join us for a great BBQ and fun times...

OK, lets talk it up, whether speed runs, skiing clinics and or drinking contests.... We can't go into the 5th Anniversary get together with 25 boats...

If you haven't made it yet to Green Lake, and have any questions, please let me know. Email me @ d.dorsen@att.net or give me a shout via cell @ 630-842-4124.... This event is sure to please. Keith will soon post the schedule of events, so you all know what to expect..
Thanks..

Roger,
You'd fly straight into Chicago, O'Hare International and drive 3 hours North... That's the easiest route and easiest to book out of the UK.. If you can get it done, we'll all look forward to meeting you and buying you some "good" beer !!!

You got that right dr...they don't have anything like the Quarter in Belgium I bet!

I'm happy I'll be able to meet both at GL. It's always a extra pleasure it meet a CCfan'r from other parts of our world. They will also be "blown away" having the opportunity to visit Bourbon St. and the French Quarter!!

I did not realize that they are visiting New Orleans. What a contrast that will be from Green Lake!

Looks like Patti and I are out this year as well. We have had a great time seeing everbody the past 2 years and sure will miss out this year. We don't even mind the weather..the friends more than make up for it.

Just booked a car online. So that problem is out of the way as well

Kristof I am very envious wish Jo and I were going back this year. You will have a great time it is a beautiful place GL and it sounds like the water is a lot warmer than last year.

We flew into Milwaukee and hired a car to get to GL. It is about 1hr 45min by car. You get to drive through some lush farming countryside. I always find that you get more of a feel for the trip by driving and taking in the countryside.

From Chicago it is probably more like 4hrs and you have far more traffic to deal with. You have to get used to driving on the wrong side as well. Get a cheap GPS we purchased one for around $70US at Radio Shack. It now lives in the boat to calibrate the Airguides and is a reminder of fun times.

You have a spot in my boat if you need it.

We would like to attend. Not looking good right now. I won't say no until the event has passed, but, at this point, doesn't seem likely. BKH

Hey Mojo,

Still raining here in California. You could move the reunion out here and have weather that we've all come to know and love at the reunions BKH.

Randy,
Good to know and thanks for the offer... We're going to play it by ear for the tent this year, and if the weather warrents, we'll need help (as always) putting it up in the park...

Look forward to seeing you again this year !!!

Lets move the cook out RSVP to this thread

3rd Annual CCF Midwest Early Arrival Cookout thread

I'll tell ya.... The weather in Chicago was unbelievable yesterday. It was just shy of a record 92 degrees and blazing sun... I'm cleaning some of the 211 which has been in storage and look at my wife and said, It's frigg'n May and we've not had a day like this during the GL reunion for 5 years running... That said, know that the ice went out early, and the water is a little down, so it's sizing up to be a warm, sunny summer.......

Here's just another little bulletin about the reunion for 2010..

Speaking for Raindog(Steve), 81Nautique(Alan) and our families, we have agreed, as a result of just one great time, we had last year to repeat the Thursday "Pre-Reunion" cookout party...

Same time, same place, same fun !!!! This is a chance to relax once you get into Green Lake and partake in some good home made grilled specialties. We'll of course ask for a pre-sign up, so we know how many to plan for...Menu I believe will be the same (That pork was unreal)...

Think about it. It's a great way to meet new members and start out the weekend with old friends alike and to relax by the water's edge in the city's Deacon Mills Park.

Any questions, please feel free to ask...
