2010 CCF GL Reunion

So, if one were to fly into Green Lake is Chicago OHare the best way to go and rent a car? How many hours from Chicago, 3.5? Are there always hotel rooms available in town if being on the lake is not important?

Bruce,
Rooms on the water just became available this morning at the bayview....The lake is easy to find... Come on out and share in a few dozen pints !!!!

Tom,
You obviously haven't driven much South of MKE on 94' The highway from the boarder North is far worse than coming out of OHare and going North.. 294 is clear until it breaks down to 94.. arg, traffic sucks in there.

Yes, come up Saturday and just launch. You'll see a bunch of boats heading out to the sand bar late Morning.. !!!

Kristof, thank you. Right now, I'm in the fanagling stage. If I can pull it off, I'll likely have 2 passengers in tow. I would like to stay in the village and not have to drive.

Has anyone heard from Mr. Hollywood? A reunion isn't complete without my little buddy.

Ken, If I'm not wrong he's participating in a tournament on Sat, so either you wont see him this year, or he'll surprise us and show up for dinner afterwards..... Not to worry, I made sure the Goose is fully stocked in Gallo !!!

Moj,

I steer clear of Chicago as much as possible.   Every time I have gone past 6 Flags while driving my own car, I have run into traffic. maybe it's just me;)


As far as boat launches, which one(s) would you recommend? I have never been on GL before.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,
Naa you're pretty much right !! They made the highway about 5 lanes in either direction and it's still packed down there...

There are several boat ramps in Green Lake... The main marina launch is where the the fun is (this is if you want to wait and get frustrated).. There is a launch off County A just East of town, or down at County Park on the far South side on Country K...

Depending what time you want to get there,and if it's Sat morning, you'll see both the speed run events as well as some skiing off the new SN200 demo.. Sat afternoon is the float party and weather permitting, we'll have a beach volleyball set up going !!!

There will be CCfaners there from Wed night to Mon typically... Sunday we usually lay around in the bay and lick our wounds from the Goose experience the night before !!

Come on out. My cell number is 630-842-4124. Feel free to call if you need anything !!!

Best advice I could offer is "Steer Clear" of Tom's advice regarding travel.

Moj you are right, 294 from O'Hare North was not that bad before however now with all those new lanes it Flies, in fact should probably warn Kristof and Roger that if they drive at the speed limit on that stretch of road they will feel like they standing are still!

Roger & Kristof, Thank you. I'll let you know as my fanagling proceeds.

I guess it's better than not steering at all

Amen to that Chris...
Thanks
Dave

I wish it was July already, but there is still to many things to do before I leave.
