Good point. We did get hosed on Sunday. You can't beat the sandbar at GL- it was ideal. Edit: PS- Keith and I were at the ramp at 5 AM on Sunday- we tried. |

Sandbar is a given. I think this outweighs skiable water in the mid-afternoon. The theme of the reunion is a relaxed, hang out weekend instead of a 3-event tournament. Don't get me wrong I like skiing as much as the next guy, you might have to get up early or stay out late to do it. If the weather would have cooperated on Sunday morning at GL that would have been perfect.

We may want to move the event closer to Spring to avoid some of the wally crowd, if possible. Just throwing it out there.

I will absolutely not be able to go the week of the 4th of July. Probably not an uncommon request.
Likes: Sandbar, park, Goose Blind. Dislikes: - Parking was a KILLER. The town generally has no place to put a 40 foot boat/car combo. - Spread out people, as HW mentioned - Lake size, insane. - Lack of skiing Essentially GL just has that tiny little park area to offer us for a general gathering point. The problem there is everyone has boats and cars, and were miles apart in different hotels/campgrounds. Although I hate the drive down there, I must say I thought some place like Shelby would accomodate a very large group very comfortably if we all took over a campground there. I would not mind a venue change but I agree that it could kill attendance. In Shelby we had a cove for the boats to sit in and watch people try out the course and foot, which was exactly what I wanted in GL. Granted, Shelby was in the fall so we got lucky with lake traffic. |

I agree. Green Lake was great but I'd like to see some other lakes possibly as well. Moj' made a good point though if it were held at the same place we'd probably get more attendance. Liked: The band in the park, bar across the street. Disliked: Limited rig parking. Everyone spread out at different camps/hotels. I feel I missed a lot of people and boats. |

I enjoyed Green Lake. However, for me, part of the fun is in going to different places. I would not mind Green Lake again, but, I think I would like it even better if a different venue were selected. I'm not positive yet that I will be able to attend, but I will try. BKH

Well the help's moving along pretty good so lets move on to step 2.
Start posting things you liked or didn't like about last years reunion. Pro/cons. Things you would like to see added or scraped. We've got about a month before our first meeting so we'll make a list from this thread and see what we can do. |

Gary: How can I turn down an offer like that? I do think that at least one planning meeting should be held during the winter months down here.
On another matter....our son did 10 years in the Navy. Loved it. We got to cruise on "family" trips twice and I got to cruise with him on board his Frigate for 7 days! My best of luck to your boy. Go up for graduation, boy will you be proud and your wife will cry the whole weekend. At least mrs jbear did. john |

I just check rates from Boston to Chicago, for example mid Nov. It's $198 round trip. Yeah, you'll see my mug before the reunion. Good stuff.
