Green Lake 2020?

Hey guys,

I'm not even sure that I could make it... but has there been any recent discussion on a Green Lake reunion for 2020?

This Canadian boy finally has a Nautique worth hauling the 800 miles and potentially take the kids to the Dells for a few days. Make a nice little vacation out of it.

I'm just looking for some potential dates... it looks like July is usually the go-to month.

Dwight

Can we get a back surgeon to sponsor this event?

Hope everyone is having a good winter, looking foreword to summer. The weekend of July 12th works great for us.

Just booked a room at Bay View

Pretty sure it is getting to be about time for me to drag an old blue boat full of gear halfway across the country behind an old blue truck full of gear...

I just grabbed the last room at Bay View. Also looks like only one room left at the Green Lake Suites right by the boat ramp.

Its definitely the preferred spot for campers and RV goers. back in the reunion hey-day, CCFan members took the place over. ...

What can I say? I like my Vehicles as old and blue as possible.

What are the odds of being out of lockdown by July? I am loving fuel prices. It could be a very economical summer to road trip and run the boat.

Dave,
I sure hope this mess is over with by July but I keep reading reports that it may not be.

Along with our Wisconsin governor extending the stay at home till May 2, he has also closed all public boat ramps till then too. Authorities have already started to monitor them and anyone caught using a ramp gets a $500 fine.

We can still boat, but no rafting up.

Stay safe. Have you looked at your states statistics lately? Here they are for Tennessee

. Boat ramps, we don't need no stinkin boat ramps... at least that is what I was thinking when ours were closed last weekend - find a tractor and a reasonable slope and drop the boats in for the season. Luckily the neighboring states complained that New york plague carriers were likely to just go next door and infest them and our ramps were opened back up.   

Hopefully everyone gets a respectable handle on this by july as Wisconsin and Tennessee are both part of my plan to see how much gas I can burn in a month.

Yes Paul I find that my big block chrysler correct craft burns significantly more fuel than any other single screw boat I have been in... maybe it needs a holley... maybe I just got to get used to the big girls. Either way when a boat sits in the hoist and you have to carry gas tanks down to it the logistics involved to fill are worse than the cost. I often see the nephews checking the gas gauge before asking to take it out as they know there are two answers to that question. Either "sure, try not to die" or "you better put some gas in it first" and if they think they are going to hear the second answer they just settle for the pontoon.   

Well I am going to go put in some social distancing docks.. .and order some boat hoist wheels to assist with social distancing boat hoist installation.   Keep safe out there...

I applaud your son and his efforts. He is one of the many who deserve our prayers for the fight.

Pete, down here most of the public launches are operated by the county or municipality and are open for business. I was fortunate enough to navigate through 100's of walleye boats on the Wolf River Sunday afternoon. There was an obvious increase in police presence. I also believe "Safer at Home" is in place through May 26th. Hopefully the "Badger Bounce Back" rolls out sooner than later.
