Lake Clinton, Illinois 2013

Alright gang, time to set up our end of season Lake Clinton trip. Attendance has been a little light past couple of years but how about we ramp it up a bit this year and go out with a bang.

Lake Clinton is a great destination for the cooler weather as it's a power plant cooling lake and in September it should be in the high 70's low 80's in most of the lake and well above that at the outlet.

We need to pick a weekend and there are 2 open for us so I put September 14-15 or the following 21-22 out there. Please speak up as to which works for you if you plan to attend and we'll do our best to make it work for everyone.   14-15 is best for us, we'll let this go a few days then pick a date and start booking campsites.

We are working on the 14-15 Magic.. Only weekend that works for us..

Has there been any developments on hotels closer than the one way up in Leroy?

I know RJ will chime in as he's already booked for the 14th weekend as well

I'll check with Todd and then we'll confirm a weekend so we can get camp sites booked. We're going to try a different loop this year that will get us closer to the tie up cove but we'll need to book this week or they won't be available.

Which loop (in the strange event we decide to camp) ???

I'm skiing a tournament on the 14th, following weekend is open though.

I just booked A16 for the weekend of the 14-15. Any later in the month is geting too late for harvest/work. Don't let me dictate what weekend you all decide on because we are so close and will camp that weekend anyway. But my vote obviously is 14-15.

Reserved. Can't wait.

I'm #18, broseph.

As long as my trailer does not rust in half on the way down, you will have that opportunity.

We are going to be in Peoria for a wedding on the 14th . We would love to see all of you again. Thinking of coming for the day on Sunday maybe we can hitch a ride with someone?

Hey Alan, we have a wedding on the 14th, but if we get a wild hair and survive the night, maybe Amy and I will shoot down Sunday for the day. FYI, we are setting up the course tonight for our first run on it and are camping, so we'll be getting some early morning glass tomorrow    .

Kim and i are in!!!....doing the hotel thing.(unless we get an RV bought by then). I'm bringing the 71(if i can figure out the water pump issue by then) cant wait to see everyone!!...and get a ride in the Hurricane

We're in 19.

sounds like this is shaping up to be a nice gathering! Now we just need to hear from Evans and Dorsen! Sorry to hear the PLBC won't make it! Pray for good weather...RJ is coming so it will definitely rain one day...hahaha! Hope to get a few more coming. just a helpful reminder IF you are going to camp....PLEASE book early because these spots go fast. Prime reality! I would hate to have you down the road IF you wanted to be with the group!

Glad to see all the people making the trip. The water will always be in the upper 80's even that time of the year! Great soaking water!
