How about the weekend after that?

Yep, even better.

I wanted to attend the reunion up in Wisconsin. We were actually 40 miles or so from there that day. We were traveling to Minnesota for vacation. The boat almost steered the truck your direction. I am from the Champaign, IL area. We travel all over though. It is probably a far drive, but there is a awesome lake called Mill Creek down in Marshall Illinois. Beautiful lake and campgrounds. Just a thought if people were looking for a south location. Also Clinton lake. Water is 98 degrees at the nuclear power plant discharge. Yuck, but there is cool water too.

thanks for the invite! I will keep watching for a date. If I were to come, the weekend before Labor day would be cool or the weekend afterwards. Fairly flexible.

Well, if you want warm water, Clinton is the place. Like last post it is a Nuclear Power Plant lake. There is cold water there though. Shallow places to walk on, but safe depth. Good crowds. I haven't been to shelbyville on the weekends for years. Went last year for an hour or so. Not opposed to it. Again, Mill Creek is great. FYI though. Just want to go to one of these reunions. Love the boats and would like to see others.

Later

Gary: Did ya notice the Orange '72 on e-bay? Wish I could do a link like the smart guys on here. Looks cool. Wish I'd saw one before I bought the '80. Glad you are back on, ain't seen ya much.

Hey damn it! thats my boat...what the he-- is going on...as soon as I leave town one of the nieghbors feels a need to sell my stuff!

Ok ..it's not! Damn good price now with 8 hrs to go! Hope a member gets it! I wish I wish...twins would be sooo cool!

The wife got the laptop on line now! We are having a great time !

Hollywood- looked for ya Sunday morning, well, whatever time I got up - you was gone! Wanted to give ya a pull. We gots to get these crews together! Powers?

Anyway, I'd be in for a fall get together! My buddies and I always do a fall run to Shelbyville or Mill Creek. Love those two lakes. Camping is good at either, Mill is much smaller. Powers Lake or the Chain works as well. In!

Shelbyville is amazing. The water goes for miles. It's a bit of a hike to get down there though- every bit of 4 hours for me.

I'm pretty sure we'd be in for anything after Labor Day, we'll drive down to Shelby if that's where everyone's going.

Labor Day plans so far look like we're going to try to stop by Powers Lake on Saturday and hook up with the PLBC crew if they're around. Then head to Green lake Saturday night and hook up with Mojo's gang Sunday. We'll camp wherever we find a spot.

Hooked up with Hollywood Saturday at Boot Camp and for just hanging around drinking a few beers we had a pretty good time. Finally got to just relax on a saturday afternoon, that was sweet.

For those that are seriously planning on doing this lets pick a central location or one that most of the attendees are located.

16 and 17th...the lake would be very low traffic...shelbyville is a beatifull lake in the fall! Great spot....26 miles long and sheltered ....always calm areas.
My buddy Brian who was at GL keeps a 32 foot carver there...and we know a bunch of local folks with big boats...might be fun to get a few party barges to tie uo to!
Hey..it might be in striking range for Paul and The lake....KC is what...6-7hrs???

My vote is either of those two weekends after labor Day...At Shelbyville!

Throw out something else too...I need to check the schedule...one of those weekends, our ski club is having a pig roast on lake Decatur...40 min drive from Shelbyville...we have a ramp , pavillion,picnick tables...plenty of docks....maybe that could work into things!

Eagle Creek....I would hightly recommend that area...two close ramps...plenty of camping...or stay at the eagle creek facility!

That section of the lake is deeper as it is closer to the damn! And near the party cove!!

very nice golf course too....but who wants to do anything other than play on the lake

Well, the weather's pretty good here in California through October. I vote for CA. Hey, I came all the way to WI to see you guys. Seems only fair. BKH
