Silver Lake Michigan trip

Here are a few pics from our trip to Silver Lake Michigan a few weeks ago. Spent a long weekend at an Uncle's house, boat is docked in the canal behind his house. Very scenic lake with great views from the top of the dunes if you care to climb. Not much of a skiing lake, too busy, but a great place none the less.

The canals pretty shalow and gets overgrown but the lake itself is pristine.

OK, how bout THAT place for a reunion?! I've never seen or been to anyplace like that. I could just see 50 CC's beached one after the other. How warm/cold was the water? After an entire week of 100 degree days, our lake temp has surpassed 90 degrees.

Reid, Off the water it's a little cheese touristy, mini golf and go karts and nothing like the Goose Blind.   On the water it's all jet skis and tubes and just gets crazy. They have a counter-clockwise traffic pattern that the sheriff has taken an oath to uphold, he's a pain....   The best thing to do all day is pull over on the beach and relax while the kids climb the dunes. Once you get to the top of the dunes you overlook Lake Michigan. Nice place though, we hold our family reunion there every summer and I enjoy yhte trip

PS.We were out on the Illinois river saturday and the water was so warm we had to get back in the boat to cool off.


Steve, We went to Rockford to Watch the Show Ski Div 1 yesterday, Water level was lower than I expected after all the rain.

Great pictures Alan.

We camp at Silver Lake every year. We only go on weekdays before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. It's much less crowded then. And most of the cheesy tourist stuff is closed.

How good was the skiing in Rockford? There is nothing like the shows at the Div l level. Did you see Wonder Lake do the prebuilt pyramid hot pick up? How crazy was that?

I haven't been there in over 30 yrs,a guy I used to work with family had a cottage on the lake.It's the only place around here that you can drive out on the dunes I believe.I think that has helped crowd it up,as there didn't seem to be anything else around.

Alan: Just looked again...which one is the daughter. All three look mighty nice...sisters?

Sure did miss ya at Reid's. You'da loved it. Gonna meet ya someday.....quess I better bite the bullet and get up to GL.

Has anybody tryed to ride a wake board down that sand hill yet??

I rented a sandboard a few years ago, kinda like a plastic snowboard. To my dismay it only went in one direction... STRAIGHT DOWN!!! I was going crazy fast then noticed that the bottom of the hill did not have a smooth run out, rather an abrupt change in transition. I wiped out like no tomorrow. Lucky I didn't break my neck. My family was torn between laughing their butts off, and genuine concern for my well being. Fun stuff.

good thing these southern boys dont know about the nude beach on the other side of the lake, then for sure they would want to move back, we dont give out secrets to often

Eric, that sign is posted at our lake.All the fat girls live north of the Mason Dixon Line.That was the reason we had to come home to La. Wisc and the other states got some corn fed women, glad to home to warm water, 100 deg. temps and skinny women.
God I love them southern girls, with or without clothes..........boat dr

You are mistaken old wise one that sleeps in the rain, the toothless ones are sent North to the feed lots, then kept there to keep you a**holes warm .
We only keep the select few that meet our strict standards, look thru the pics of the Southern girls that were there.No fatties,nor sub standard babes,and all of them can ski and load and unload a boat.Mine can do all the above,plus is very knowledgeable as to the inside working of a boat,the motor and she can change a flat on a car ,truck or a boat trailer........boat dr/boat nurse
