Lake Clinton, IL Reunion

And a few more..

Sorry it took a while to get these pics posted, we got home and went straight back out looking at about 10 houses last night and another 20 or so tonight. Out of the blue on our way down to lake Clinton we got a call from our realtor with an offer on our house that we didn't expect to receive. So now were scrambling to find a new home. But its all good, You can't grow without change.

thanks to everyone! what a great time!

Lake Clinton 2009

I'm glad that you guys are digging the BABEs too. Thanks again!

98 degree water? Really? Do boats stay cool at normal in that stuff? What a great source for geo thermal heating.

great photos RJ, thanks for posting them. keep them coming gang I know there are more

Awesome weekend everyone, I'm still draining water out of my head. Man did we hit the weather or what? Felt like July.

So glad we got some new people to come down this year but we really missed the regulars that couldn't make it out. I'm up with BHP's Question....Let's do an early spring one!!!!

Boats run fine Bruce, It really is strange though when you step off the platform waiting for the shock that never comes.

Highlight of the weekend was swimming at close to midnight in 97 degree water with a few beers. Felt like we we're at a resort. No one wanted out of the water we lost all track of time and had to feel our way back to the launch in pitch black darkness. That was a blast but I'm investing in a monster spot light next year.

Sounds like a great time.

Alan, I'm hoping we're going to see you this weekend. Does your Hurricane have one of those old fashion syphon bilge pumps?

RJ and Nicole - Great pics!! Thanks for posting on the site and on Snapfish. Thanks also for the cleaner. Now if I could only get Mike H to come over and clean my boat as well as he takes care of his, I would be set! Nice to meet you guys!

Alan, Dana, Todd, Renee - as always it was great to see you again. Sorry we haven't been able to make all of the Clinton trips this year, but I am glad this one worked out. What a great weekend all around! Thanks for tolerating the girls - jumping off your platform, dunking and splashing Dana, playing with Bodie, etc, etc, etc.

Evans family, Chris & Maddie - It was great to meet you all. I am glad the kids had such a great time together! It makes it so much more enjoyable and relaxing when the kids have such a good time too.

It was good to meet all of the other folks as well. I hope everyone had a safe trip back home.

I will move the rope to the rear pylon next. We keep talking about the fun we had. I think I will go back this weekend air in the 70s and water in the 90s it should work out. We have room if anybody wants to join us.

65' off ?!? That's a world record! Unless you were using a 100' rope or something....I think this is a typo?

I've always wondered how the slalom wake is behind a 210 with all the unecessary weight out of it compared to the "2001" series. Anybody tried both?

Looks like a great place for a fall get together with those warm temps.

Mark, read it like this.

We might have had the help of a few rollers there Mark but it did run the best it has all summer. Been a long road of tweaking but it's finally behaving.

My cell doesn't work at the lake give me a call before friday and we will make arrangements to meet. I will be staying at the campground again. Most likely in the A section site 42 if possible. 219-712-5060

I've been out of town for the last 10 days and I didn't have time to make changes before I had to leave, but I didn't like the size of the images or quality of the pics that I posted from Lake Clinton 09. So here's some hopefully better ones.

How about a little lake Clinton Night life!




Todd didn't bring the revolving disco ball this year so that opened the door for Tim and Pam to take center stage

Tim did some real cool lighting on the boat. When Mike saw that he started getting some ideas for next year. I think I heard something about a lazer light show on the orange air. Tim, I think we are going to have to step up our game plan!!

Boat looked great with the wrap around lights!
