Hunter, I knew you would be the first one on the lake this year. I was going to dewinterize the boat yesterday, but didn't. I am sure Renee and I (maybe Evan) will be there when the group attends IF we are not in the fields. Planting season is nuts for us. I'm sure we will be there though.

Clinton Lake opened on 4-1 we took a trip there on the 2nd. Although it was very windy it was still a great day on the water. We got a few sets of surfing in but it was too choppy for skiing or boarding unless you went to the cold side. The water temp was 65F on the cold side and 77F on the discharge side. I met a guy with a 1979 Century Arabian V drive.
Sweet looking boat in realy good condition. Hope to see you all there in June.

Renee and I were there just walking the campground. Basically went there just to take notes on good campsites. We came to the conclusion that the "A" loop is good if you want to be able to walk down to the lake. There are also some real good sites in the "G" loops that actually have trails leading to docks. Many people use these. But we really liked the "G" loops sites. They would be great for reunions where we knew there were going to be 7 sites rented or more. Basically we would have the whole place. Great trees and all grass nicely mowed.
I think we are going to reserve spot A47 which is the one we stayed in last year at the reunion. Paperwork going to be done in the next day or so. But I would reserve soon if you are plannin on being there! I remember last year some people walking down the street saying how they NORMALLY had several spot (ones that our group was occupying)and they weren't too pleased. So people do reserve well in advance. We should have done this when RJ did his! If anybody wants a copy of the notes Renee and I took, we would be happy to pass them along. Looking forward to seeing many people again. Lets start getting a head count so we know who will be attending and at what times. Later!!! Oh, we will be at the lake Saturday around 1ish and be there until Sunday afternoon. Taking the camper over so we will be there overnight! |

Just sent our request in for A loop but we'll take what ever's available. Don't know if we can even make it and the boat is still in storage but we're gonna give it a good try.
Just a late start for us this year but it'll kick in shortly.

Oh Alan, you know you will be there! Throw the seats in the 81, charge the battery, air up the tires and hammer down! I'll have that 6 pack ready that we talked about.
I just filled out the form for A48. They have a pretty stupid registration process so check out the instructions very close. Everything is by snail mail....no electronic stuff or by phone. http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/Landmgt/PARKS/R3/cll/cll_app.pdf This is the link if that helps anybody. Looking forward to it!!! Tim, you still in hibernation??? Wake up Lichtenstein! |

Thanks Mike, I just called and I'm picking the 81 up Sunday afternoon. Luckily I put it away in pretty good shape so I really don't have much to do to get it ready to go. See you in a few weeks. |

Just thought I would let people know, but Wade Cox will be at The Liquid Edge in Farmer City that same weekend. Farmer City is only a few miles up the road from the lake. I now some people have shown interest in going to The Liquid Edge and this would be a great time to do it and get some professional lessons. Doug runs a great operation there and I would recommend stopping by sometime.
I just happened to be at the lake this weekend and ran into Tony Nichols who is good friends with Doug and he told me the news. Hey, I have cold beer in the boat so that is another good reason to come! |

You are right, but his is selling a ton of MC's. He does push MC first, but he does push CC's second which is good to hear. They were down at the Correct Craft factory not too long ago taking a tour. Must maybe he would cross over the fence to the bright side of things???
I did get confirmation back on A48. We are locked in for the full weekend. I was out mowing the yard last night and saw a pile of boats coming home from the lake. Ugh, damn grass! |

It looks like we are going to miss the Clinton Lake gathering again this year, but we are going to be down there this Saturday, 5/29. If anybody else is out there, feel free to stop by.

Tell Pam that you need to get the oil changed in the boat. It is a super complicated job and you need to take it to a town called DeWitt and have us knuckleheads do the work. We will then need to do numerous shake down runs to make sure it is good for the rest of the year. When she asks why your ski is in the boat.....well, you have to create that excuse.
Actually, just beg her to change her plans! Ha, just kidding but we will miss watching your morning slalom runs and the girls skiing. We may steal your camp site then. |

Had a great weekend with everyone who attended. Had some great skiing once we got our sorry butts out of bed. Sunday morning was spectacular. Alan and I got some "tough slalom runs" in and we met up with Gail (NautiqueHunter) for some good slalom runs. It is always fun to help other skiers out who have questions. What fun to see that smile while skiing!
The weather was bad and had 2 major rain events roll through and that put a damper on the day a bit. We got a great evening ski in on Saturday and "sat in the hot tub" for 30 minutes or so just to relax. Just wanted to say thanks to all who ventured down. As always it is great to visit around the camp fire and tell stories. Hope everyone made it home safely. Looking forward to GL real soon |

You're askin' the wrong dude! Barely know how to type on the forum. I didn't take many pictures. Wife did, but more in teh campground. I know Nicole takes pictures so maybe she will have some posted later.
You'll just have to attend instead of look at pictures! Several of us were already talking about setting the date for fall gathering. Like to do it before Labor Day just due to work. We could do a late one....2-3 weeks after Labor Day. Don't worry still warm! |
