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.

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! |

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.

I'd take a southern location. I went to an MBO gathering 3 years ago on Shelbyville and we absolutely loved it. Amazing lake for boating.

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. |

Crap, I just double checked... I'm out of town that weekend.. Booked a last minute vaca with the little woman to Key West. Couldn't pass up a chance at a free condo on the beach...
It really is a good weekend to get together.. Lakes calm down considerably, and people are partied out from the weekend before. If you so decide to do it, have a killer time... Moj' |

Remember the "lifter noise" at the sandbar Saturday? It was actually a piston banging on the cylinder wall. Pretty ugly to fix, and it's unfortunately not in the budget this year. Rob |

it would be nice but it's a bit too far from St. Pete for me to make the trip this time.

Labor Day was invitation to come party with us basically. Like I said before, probably a poor skiing weekend wherever you are. Any other weekend and we can hook up wherever.

Hahahaha,,,, you're pushing your luck uh Alan !!!! Good to see no posts of a motor home half underwater !!! What a great summer of "trick launching"... Maybe you should start a school for the wayward motorhome people????
The Chain in my opinion, especially for small boats on the weekend gets worse than GL !!! Monster cruisers out there chopping it all up.. Not very relaxing.. There are some smaller lakes, plus the river up to the state park that are calmer.. We've stopped boating at "death" lake many years ago.. Powers sounds doable just not on Labor Day for me.. Unless you want to come up to Green Lake.. That's where I'll be.. Moj' |
