2009 CCF Midwest Reunion - Green Lake, WI

ReidP, here is a little taste..



Man! This motor is clean!



The GodFather went shopping!
Smile and the handshake...

Hi there Dave! In terms of boats coming to GL, the only certainty is that Orange Crush will be there. Beyond that we just don't know as several new projects are continuing to sit idle as work has really gotten in the way. But 920 miles is a long way to come to get embarrassed, don't you agree?

Now put the wheels back on your rusty little trailers and register for your summer fun in Green Lake. The goal is {{{{{{40}}}}}}} "Just-do-It" Moj'

While they haven't signed up yet, I know we've got at least two more boats/parties coming with our group. So this'll get us to at least 32 boats. Plus Marshall just told me he's working his travel plans to be there for a 3rd time and commandeered his own boat back since he couldn't make it to FLA in Feb and had to send a stand-in driver with his boat. And I've been ribbing him since then on boatdr's boat being a MPH faster (at that outing). And speaking of speed, will there by chance be the trophies/plaques for "Fastest Boat on GL" like Mark made up for FLA?

Lewy, snap a few pics of your rental when you pick it up. That's just in case there are disagreements later.

Can't wait to see the Hurricane!

Alan,
That is great! So looking forward to seeing the Hurricane.

Yes Brian, I'll be emailing previous attendees, along with all Diaries and Forums members as well.

Would really like to see close to 50 boats this year!

-Keith

Allan looking forward to seeing not only your pristine 81 but now the Hurricane that is a bonus. Only nine weeks but whose counting.

Flying into Milwaukee on the 14th will be leaving for Green Lake after lunch on the 16th if anyone needs a lift from Milwaukee Airport let me know.

Looks like National have the best deal for me with drop off charge of $200 for leaving the car in New York at end of trip. Any comments on National??

Magic, now that's what I call a SHOW PIECE to view.

Man this event is getting some great treats.

You guy's know how to do it right at GL..

This is going to be another great time.

Thank you to all !!

Brian,   I'll add one more to the list. We've had quite a few people email me asking if I was bringing the Hurricane so we've decided to tow it up for the weekend.

It's no work of art like the Dart but atleast folks will be able to get a before and after look of it. It is a piece of history no matter what shape it's in so it'll be there.

Come on Dave, let's get bigger..


50 Boats and counting

Spoke with Keith yesterday and he's trying to book a flight to Milwaukee on Thursday morning.

If everything goes well down here, I will book my flight to meet up with him at the airport.

Just let us know if we need to get a bigger car.

Keith will email me with the flight times.

Tim,
Depending on the departure point airport, going into Madison and especially Appleton could put you on a relatively small commuter type route. These can get expensive!! I think Keith flys into Milwaukee.

Yeah John sounds like we need too! Yep I still have your #. You might be better off flying direct if you can. If you have no choice but stopping here Atl then we could possibly ride up with you on the same flight if its a Delta or Northwest flight.

Hey you midwest guys! Which would be the better airport in and out of, Madison or Appleton?

Alan, if you've already heard about this and have your shots, then don't make a dust up.

I saw a study that stated there was dihydrogen monoxide in the water up at GL...we may have to back out.   

I see. I still need to hear from my wife anyway. Ain't nobody happy if momma ain't happy.
