Too bad the Potawatomi Inn is booked. I try to stay there whenever I am in northeast Indiana on business. Great old place. Plus, they have a few docks for guests boats. The one bad thing is they don't serve booze. But, they do have plenty of puzzles and games for everyone. So, is everybody leaning toward camping or hotels? I think camping would be fun if we could get enough campsites together. Its a very nice park. The park was built back during the Depression as a government works project. All the cool old wood beam buildings are still there, and good as new. |

The Wise family will be arriving in the classic Winnebago, boat in tow..., Thursday August 8th and staying at site #104 (right next to Kaptin Kirk). BTW- these sites are numbered really weird, don't assume site #105 is next to site #106... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1602&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 1993 Sport Nautique |

That's great Randy now I can repay some of my sponge dept off lol 1st. the campground is broken up in to 5 sections. Section 1 is at the highest point and in my opinion by far the best, but I will warn you now its kinda narrow so the motor home pulling the boat might make the wife close her eyes for a few but I have a solution for the boats more to come on that later.A truck and boat will be easier and with every ones backing skills you should be good to go.  Next order of business is the Logistics of where to meet and where to drop the boats in ? I have met with the owners of Dry Dock and we have come up with a great plan that will solve all our problems. I can't say enough these guys will be the ones who take all the credit when credit is due ! I need a little more time to come up with all the details but I assure you won't be disappointed But as a teaser WE might have the pleasure of the Maloons joining in on the fun and who knows maybe they will break out a classic The gas station that's on the water is ethenal free  and last for now Chris Patton who used to work at Midwest might also have a surprise for us  ------------- 1989 Teal Ski Nautique 1967 Mustang Harris Float Sunfish |

Hey, Toe, Beware the week-ends; as you might expect, it's a little crazy (even though the weather this year has not been stellar on wk-nds); after this week, the va-ca crowd will have thinned a bit, so Mondays are sometimes nice (weather permitting, of course!)

Can you guys give us some updated info on this get together. Are the campsites suited for an RV? How far do we have to drive to launch the boat? Is there RV parking at the boat launch? That weekend has opened up for us so we're looking at possibly making the trek out. Thanks ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Hi, Grand Poobah, Answers to your questions (in order): 1) there are RV-suitable sites in the Park (specify, and they will assign accordingly) 2) there are multipls sites at which to launch, some for a fee (+/- $7); there are 2 PA sites on either end of the chain (both some distance from the park; Northwest Landing is across from the park swim beach#1; 4 corners landing @ the junction of lakes James and Jimmerson; perhaps the easiest thing to do is look on a County Map (James/ Jimmerson/Snow /the Otters chain ); 3)yes, @ most of the launches....unless already full :-( Hope to see you then! ------------- LJSC showskier |
Posted By: Woj's 77
Date Posted: July-24-2013 at 12:36pm
There are free boat launches on both Lake Jimmerson & Big Otter Lake which both connect to Lake James. I know there is also a launch at the corner of N county road 300 w & Lane 101 Jimmerson lake....right by the bar Jimmy's on James (or a block away from the new Mad Anthony's Brewery on 300)but I think there is a fee to launch there. If camping Big Otter is the closest with no wake zones until you enter Snow lake. ------------- Fastest Nautique in Indiana! Modify it, original is just ordinary! Bryan |

Hey guys.. it's cool that your mini is shaping up.. In efforts to get everyone in the same place at the same time etc, it maybe helpful if you just "tell" people where to launch. Close proximity to lodging/camping etc. if there's no launch at the camp ground, let everyone know how far they need to drive to get to one.. Same for hotels.. The fun in these things is to be together and such.. Less hassle, the better. Just some helpful advise.."build it and they will come" Moj ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

Thanks guys, let me rephrase my question. We would be in the #1 loop where most of you are staying but how far of a drive to a ramp that will allow us to park an rv there all day. My biggest concern is setting up/breaking down and hauling the boat each day with the motorhome, typically if a ramp is nearby someone will step up and drop us in but if everyone has to travel that changes things a bit. Just have to make sure it's feasible for us to do so. Thanks ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

I am sure a few of use could help you out using our suv's or trucks to avoid having you launch with your RV. Book and go ------------- Kostas http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6700&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1984 Ski Nautique 2001 |

Sorry guys been out of town and again in the morning heading to Virginia beach Alan to answer your question the guys from Dry Dock lease a spot on the water which has a ramp for us to use and we can store our boats there so we don't have to take up room at the campground. its a short drive around the lake 10 min or so Also right there is the gas dock This is where they held the wood boat show. Also you can use my truck to move your boat where ever you want so once you set up you wont have to move. That goes for Randy and anybody else that has a big rig. ------------- 1989 Teal Ski Nautique 1967 Mustang Harris Float Sunfish |

I knew it was a longshot, and I'm sorry to say I can't make it.  I wish people planning weddings would check with me before scheduling. I have a prime camping spot reserved if someone needs it. Let me know. The only way I can see me making it, is getting into an argument with my wife about going to the wedding, and storming out of the house. They'll think I'm heading to the cottage, and I'll just head southwest.  ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |

As to the specific site location, it is CR 300 N, just over the bridge (and thus North) of 4 Corners/ Tom's Donuts/ Jimmy's on James/etc. Our Lane system here is just a bit confusing if you're not familiar with it. 4 Corners is the junction of CR300 N and Bayview Rd. for those trying to GPS Easier info for those coming off I-69 -from either direction- is to take the Lake James/Crooked Lake exit (150/"3"50 for the new designation) and go N on CR 200W (also the same exit designation). It is a divided 4-lane @ this point; follow this along-it will narrow to a 2-way CR past Caruso's Restaurant (great place to eat, btw)- and stay 0n it (now is Bayview Rd) till you come to busy intersection/stop sign. this is 4 Corners. Turn R/North, x the bridge, event site is immediately on your Right! Happy trails, and safe journeys, everyone!! Looking fwd to welcoming you all to Midwest CC Country ------------- LJSC showskier |

Pending weather we're in also. Since we travel in a pack of 5, will this be a family friendly event? Kids (ages 9,7,5) are looking for friends. |

Do we have an official head count, trying to do some shopping before I leave on Wed. I was thinking we should start a food list on whats needed and whats being brought for the Saturday dinner. Right now it's looking like I will have the family coming along arriving Wed. night leaving Sunday. Me, wife and girls 2 & 6 PS: Wife may have to do some laptop work does anybody know how the cell phone coverage is at the campgrounds? |

Kirk, for the above, is that by first name, last name, or screen name? In my case it doesn't matter since all three fall into the P-Z catagory. So, I'll bring some of my famous homemade salsa. I've got some jalapenos in the garden that should work perfect. Getting geared up to go. I brought the Winnebago home last weekend and have been working on getting it packed up and ready to go. This will be the first time pulling the boat with it but I think she's up to the task. Paula is already starting to worry about everything... I think were going to bring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Michael_Jackson" rel="nofollow - Dr. Conrad Murray with us and just set her IV up in the back bedroom and let the Propofol drip run all the way out there. If we can't get him for the weekend, I may end up locking her in the bathroom and turning up the stereo so I don't hear her screaming. I've assured her that there are no bears at Lake James... so she should be fine once we get there.Great to see Allen and Dana are going to make the trip. I will be bringing my grill as well, so if anyone needs to use it just come on over to my site with a few beers. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1602&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 1993 Sport Nautique |

Good to see you're going to make it RJ. I have three that are a little older (17.14,14) but they all play well with younger ones.

Since I'm on a roll today I may as well get something off my chest. I can't believe more of the Chicago area members (Dave, Steve, Gary, Pete, HW, Kurt, Todd...) can't make this trip! It's a 2.5 hour straight shot from Chicago! Come on guys, put your big-boy pants on and come out! Heck, Even CQ is going to make it! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1602&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 1993 Sport Nautique |

Yeah You are just a die hard Randy !! Unfortunately like many that don't make it from James to Green Lake. There's only so many weekends in the summer. This weekend doesn't even include boat time for me.. Oh well, like they say in Wriggly Field, "There's always next year"... You'll all have a blast. Take plenty of pictures so we can get the jiuces flowing for 2014.. Moj' ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

Yeah we're definately in, I believe it will be early Friday morning and we're renting the basement out to Quinner and his gang so we'll 4-5 peeps. I'll talk to Dana and figure out what we'll be bringing for Sat. dinner. Don't anyone be afraid to ask me for a pull because I tweaked a knee yesterday pretty bad and I think I'll be leaving all my ski gear home so I don't mess it up further. I'll pretty much be a designated driver all weekend so throw me a rope and tell me what you want. RJ, Great to see you guys are heading out. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Hotel is booked. no camping this time around. Were headed that way Friday after work, perfect timing to try and cross from the north to the south of Chicago. See you Saturday on the water. Thanks Randy, it will be good to see you again. Alan, sorry to hear about your knee. count me in, I'll for sure be grabbing a pull. |

I picked up a dozen and a half of burgers and a couple dozen dogs and buns for the cook out along with some pasta salad, appetizers and condiments. I don't want to haul it back home so bring your appetites. Checked the Crack-U Weather for the weekend and as far as their guess goes it looks to be perfect weather. |

Todd, I know how it goes. It would be nice to see you since you didn't have much time at GL, so I threw you in with the chicagoan's I know your a lot further south west. we are getting ready to hitch up the boat and pull out probably a couple hours. Paula is upstairs right now throwing up because she is so nervous about pulling the boat with the RV (no, I'm not kidding...) ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1602&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 1993 Sport Nautique |
