My wife just went to nephews wedding reception at Heritage, nice place, I'd bet cheaper than crown plaza. Also, black rock state park in watertown has camping, is maybe a 30? minute drive. |

There is a campground in Monroe which is about 20 miles from the boat ramp on Zoar.
Webb Mountain Park. That's the only one I know of that is close |

Oh I know all about the Crafts case. I went to UNH where Henry Lee was a professor. There's been quite a few deaths on the lake. One time we were skiing all day, went back to the lake house and watched on the news while they were pulling someone out of the lake right where we were skiing.
Anyway - lol it should be a good day on the lake on 8/22! |

Great photo, sends me 30 years back down memory lane to many fun days on Zoar.
No bites on my earlier "don't drink the water" post. If you weren't around Zoar in the 80's, there was a big national news story about the wood chipper murder. Richard Crafts, a Newtown airline pilot murdered his flight attendant wife. Cut her into pieces with a chainsaw. Rented a wood chipper, parked on the bridge in a blizzard, and ran the parts thru the chipper into the lake. A grizzly story indeed. .... |

Ct Mini-Mini. Correct Crafts Roar on Zoar
August 22 Lake Zoar 9:00 am ish - whenever Exit 14 off of I-84 (If you're driving east take a right off of the ramp, west - take a left then follow signs to ramp) Once in the water, take a right (standing on the ramp facing the water) and go around the bend, you will see the sandbar, it's marked with buoys - a first for this year. It was fun watching people come flying up the lake and getting grounded, with the buoys that's probably over. This is a one day event however if you are coming from far away, there is camping at Kettletown state park. There is also a hotel off of exit 16; Crown Plaza. There is another off of exit; 15 Heritage Hotel and Conf Center, The sandbar is shallow. You could bring a pop-up canopy for shade. There are two picnic tables with a grill. It's pretty crowded on the weekend so if you want to grill, it would probably be a good idea to bring your own. People also bring chairs to set up in the water. And there is a vollyball net. The lake gets pretty crowded on the weekend so if you want to ski or foot (or wakeboard) early or later is best. Although with 10 miles of lake, you could always find good water, you just need to avoid the yahoos. There is also a course set up for those that might want to ski a course. It is privately owned but it is on a public lake so anyone can use it. |

8/22 doesn't work for me as I have to work, although I may be able to come by later in the day. I am in Newtown and have most of the week before off, so if anyone comes up earlier in the week I should be around. Zoar is a great place to ski and weekdays I don't think I have ever seen the police out there. Kettletown is a nice State campground. We have camped in the past, there is an area where you can anchor your boat.

Yes, with such short notice, let's start small. I think if we do just the one day, more would be willing/able to come and hang out.

You Yanks are a crazy bunch but so are the rebel rednecks. I like that date as a possibility. One day only as I read it. My oldie might cooperate and then again it might not, if it does I would bring it for my ride.

First date to throw out - August 22. Let's see how many people we can get who are avail for this date.
Who's in? The sandbar has a couple of picnic tables where you can put a grill. It's also pretty shallow so a grill with legs like a Weber charcoal grill would work. And it has a full Weber gas grill bolted to them that you can cook on if you bring a propane tank. |
