Hey all..
I've been asked by many "when we'd make Green Lake great again"....... So by popular demand, I'm posting this as a means to get us together yet once again at the big lake they call "Horrible" LOL.... So those of you who want to come out and spend time on the big lake, tip a few back with friends in the bay, and bring your beloved CC, block out the weekend of July 14th. No formal sign up.. We'll most likely gather for a trailer show on Friday night, then spend all day in the water on Sat/Sun. No formal dinner... Check the following site for accommodations.. The Lakeside Inn has reopened under new management,, Now called the Green Lake Suites.. www.visitgreenlake.com So make a plan, even if its for the day.. Moj' |

I wouldn't mind bringing the old Martinique up to see how it handles the big water. Sounds like fun! I thought the Lakeside was going to be sold, torn down, and made into condos!? That is what the guy that used to own it mentioned. Anyway, good to see it is still there. Classic 50's/60's style motel.

I also grabbed a room at GLS. They had around 4 left according to their website for those dates. I see Boat Jam is that Sunday again. I don't plan on missing it this time.

Boat Jam is when Shoreline Boat Center hires bands to come out and play on a barge they set up in Norwegian Bay... Depending on the bands, its pretty fun.. When the band sucks, we usually drown them out with our tower speakers .... |

Question...
Alan, I already know your answer... We've done an on -trailer gathering Friday night at the Legion hall parking lot now for several years. Its been a great spot for parking and hanging out, but not so much because of the ball field across the street... Should we go back to perhaps the launch at the campground? That seemed to be a good spot as well, especially for a smaller crowd. The skeeters can be rough, but I guess they are anywhere in Wisco.. Anyone care one way or the other? Moj' |

100% for the Legion. Large flat lot, restroom and you can park down the gravel road, well outside of the swing of any townie major league wanna-be.

LOL, The Legion is fine. Not bringing the Jeep so there shouldn't be any hail, baseballs or tree limbs in the campground. |

Just put in the request to reserve the "Legion" lot. It really is a good place to show the boats on land.. They'll let me know in a couple of weeks......

Any Ice out report for Green Lake? I assume it is looking very late this year.

We had ice out down this way, but, the lakes are icing over again!
I haven't heard about Green Lake, but, Lake Geneva is clear. About same size and depth of GL, just an hour or so south of GL. |

Just got back from there yesterday. neighbor called and said the big tree in front of the house is now all over the yard.. They had 3 inches of ice and over a foot of snow Sat night and with 40 mph winds, it took all kinds of trees down.. Only a gutter dent out of all that..
Lake is open , no ice.. |

So everyone, looks like we have a new and cool looking addition to the landscape of Green Lake. Across from the launch in town, and on water is a brand New Bar and Grill called Thunder Boss. From the looks of it it will most certainly give the Goose a run for its money..
grand opening slated for June and craft beers brewed right in Ripon will be on tap. Head chef is from the Grey Rock Mansion (Basically the Heidle Houses premier restaurant.. Should be good.. !!!!! |
