The midwest "I'm HEADED...."

Headed to Lake Poygan - again. Every weekend, unless we have alternate plans. Vacation week again, so I'll be out on the lake, and plan on going up the Wolf River on Sunday as well.
 
Staying home and going out to Lake Lou Yeager this weekend. Been seeing more and more Yamaha’s recently. Talked to some folks in a 2017 Red 242 Ltd SE last weekend.
 
@SCP1 and I will be on Lake a Wisconsin tomorrow. I’m thinking about Milwaukee River/Lake Michigan on Sunday.


Where do you guys drop in when you head out? McKinley, South Shore...? What are fees like?
 
We have a small (but very cool) group going to Bull Shoals Lake, AR for LD weekend. We don't have a Jetboaters Cove there.
(We have the whole freaking lake!)
:cool::cigar:

Just stay out of Skidmore Mo.
 
Going to Lake Shelbyville this up coming holiday weekend. Looking forward to it!
 
Anyone been to Castle Rock/Petenwell Lake, Wi? We rented a house for this Friday through Monday. Recommendations on places to see or stop?
 
Changed our plans last Saturday a little, ended up going on the Wisconsin River Lower Dells, then taking out and dropping in on Lake Delton to watch the Tommy Bartlet ski show from the water. Great time. I even did a sorta synchronized spin with one of the big jet boat tour boats.:p85FDFA50-D104-4B72-A0F4-E0714A2F709E.jpeg73F24FFA-6B5C-455C-AD6A-6B560032D919.jpeg5CE884C6-7C76-4ED0-B920-7C10890C6524.jpegF18E19E5-5349-49A7-A61E-E717DBD4F6B6.jpeg

Then, Sunday I took my kids and my parents out in Milwaukee, Lake Michigan/Milwaukee River/Menomonee River. Pretty strong winds out of the East/Southeast made for some impressive waves on the big lake, we stayed inside the breakwall, and still had a pretty sporty ride to and from the rivers. The Lake is near record high levels, so some bridges that I normally never even worry about the clearance were kinda tight...C2146FC4-37F0-4858-A05B-84699445E0D4.jpeg0EBA7CFF-F3E3-443F-B72A-F59F52EC42DC.jpegC3DD6019-49E5-44AC-BA38-CDE87C3D4C81.jpeg
 
Lake Michigan tomorrow headed out of portage to go to boaters beach. Plenty of room for every member on this site! I expect a minimum of 50 boats in this area tomorrow and 75+by afternoon
 
Was cold but fun to play in the sand! 20190901_121539.jpg
 
A tent city was going up on the beach as we were leaving!

@swatski That picture of the lady in the bow with the camera, sketchbook and pencils looks like a marketing photo the way the items are all laid out, and she's concentrating on the sketchbook.

Great shot!

That was us putting up the tents by the nipsco plant. Monday was a much better day. The lake was as flat as I have ever seen it at 2pm. Wish I was a member here then. we had plenty of biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs to go around.

edit: I just blow up your pic......the 2 girls carrying the log in the left of the pic....the girl in the yellow shirt on the left is my daughter...lol

Awesome dude! My son brought a stick over but we had to leave before we kept going with it. That looks so fun! Sharp boat too by the way, we did a quick check of it before we left. Be sure to let us know if/when you go out and we may join ya!
