Lake James 2013

oops sorry.   Cory Archbold

As to the specific site location, it is CR 300 N, just over the bridge (and thus North) of 4 Corners/ Tom's Donuts/ Jimmy's on James/etc. Our Lane system here is just a bit confusing if you're not familiar with it.
4 Corners is the junction of CR300 N and Bayview Rd. for those trying to GPS
Easier info for those coming off I-69 -from either direction- is to take the Lake James/Crooked Lake exit (150/"3"50 for the new designation) and go N on CR 200W (also the same exit designation). It is a divided 4-lane @ this point; follow this along-it will narrow to a 2-way CR past Caruso's Restaurant (great place to eat, btw)- and stay 0n it (now is Bayview Rd) till you come to busy intersection/stop sign. this is 4 Corners. Turn R/North, x the bridge, event site is immediately on your Right!

Happy trails, and safe journeys, everyone!!
Looking fwd to welcoming you all to Midwest CC Country

It's not mine yet. Picking it up this weekend. I will post when it's in Michigan.

actually, you'll be going North-ish(left turn coming from the south; right turn coming from the north ..off the Interstate) and there is but 1 stop sign! So, you're right: piece of cake!!

Gotcha! Ditto! Only hope the weather does right by us!

allllriiigghht!!!!

Do we have an official head count, trying to do some shopping before I leave on Wed.
I was thinking we should start a food list on whats needed and whats being brought for the Saturday dinner.

Right now it's looking like I will have the family coming along arriving Wed. night leaving Sunday.
Me, wife and girls 2 & 6

PS: Wife may have to do some laptop work does anybody know how the cell phone coverage is at the campgrounds?

Wes & Anne Bond site 110 Friday & Saturday + 89 Ski Nautique.
Looking forward to it, thanks Kirk

Chris Welcome to the site. I talked to Mr. Ken today and he said he might bring the tique! can't wait. Any chance your pro might make a apparence ?
Kirk

Kirk, for the above, is that by first name, last name, or screen name?

In my case it doesn't matter since all three fall into the P-Z catagory. So, I'll bring some of my famous homemade salsa. I've got some jalapenos in the garden that should work perfect.

Getting geared up to go. I brought the Winnebago home last weekend and have been working on getting it packed up and ready to go. This will be the first time pulling the boat with it but I think she's up to the task. Paula is already starting to worry about everything... I think were going to bring Dr. Conrad Murray with us and just set her IV up in the back bedroom and let the Propofol drip run all the way out there. If we can't get him for the weekend, I may end up locking her in the bathroom and turning up the stereo so I don't hear her screaming. I've assured her that there are no bears at Lake James... so she should be fine once we get there.

Great to see Allen and Dana are going to make the trip.

I will be bringing my grill as well, so if anyone needs to use it just come on over to my site with a few beers.

Since I'm on a roll today I may as well get something off my chest.

I can't believe more of the Chicago area members (Dave, Steve, Gary, Pete, HW, Kurt, Todd...) can't make this trip! It's a 2.5 hour straight shot from Chicago! Come on guys, put your big-boy pants on and come out! Heck, Even CQ is going to make it!

Yeah we're definately in, I believe it will be early Friday morning and we're renting the basement out to Quinner and his gang so we'll 4-5 peeps. I'll talk to Dana and figure out what we'll be bringing for Sat. dinner.

Don't anyone be afraid to ask me for a pull because I tweaked a knee yesterday pretty bad and I think I'll be leaving all my ski gear home so I don't mess it up further. I'll pretty much be a designated driver all weekend so throw me a rope and tell me what you want.

RJ, Great to see you guys are heading out.

Hotel is booked. no camping this time around.
Were headed that way Friday after work, perfect timing to try and cross from the north to the south of Chicago. See you Saturday on the water.

Thanks Randy, it will be good to see you again.
Alan, sorry to hear about your knee. count me in, I'll for sure be grabbing a pull.

I picked up a dozen and a half of burgers and a couple dozen dogs and buns for the cook out along with some pasta salad, appetizers and condiments.
I don't want to haul it back home so bring your appetites.
Checked the Crack-U Weather for the weekend and as far as their guess goes it looks to be perfect weather.
