Boating September 10th or 11th
« on: August 29, 2011, 09:15:33 PM »
I am open to either day and just about any location. Should be nice cooler temps, less boats, and great times wherever we go.

OPTIONS:
-Minnesota river Fort Snelling to Valley Fair
-Mississippi 494 in St. Paul Park north through the locks and Mpls.
-St. Croix
-Mississippi 494 in st. paul park south to hastings
-Mississippi Prescott to Treasure Island
-White Bear Lake
-Minnetonka
-?

Now is the time to make up for lost time on the water. Of the places Jason listed, my favorates are Minnesota River, St. Croix, and St. Paul Park to Hastings.

The wooden boat show is being held on Lake Minnetonka on the 10th, maybe that would be a good time for a bunch of old Glastrons to show up......

Brian talked about how much he likes the Minnesota river. I'm game for trying that. Sunday is the better day for us, but can make Saturday work as well, say after 10:30 or 11am.

Who wants to coordinate this?  Jason?  Appears there are a number of people anxious to go boating. All we need to do is get everyone to agree on the details.

I don't have a problem being the ring leader on this one. I am just kind of waiting for input from anyone interested as to go with the option that is going to bring in the most boats.

As far as the day goes it will also depend on weather and we'll just have to see as we get closer.

I like the boat show idea on Minnetonka. You gonna be available Tom?

I would certainly like to go. Just depends on where. The Minnesota river was nice with low traffic but not much in the line of places to beach.
I've never been on the Mississippi thru St. Paul.
Minnetonka is cool but its a haul for me but sooner or later I'm going to get there again. Its been years.
Also something to keep in mind for the destination is...if we want to go later when the leaves are changing. Might as well make them 2 different destinations?

This is definitely not the last trip of the year....at least not for me. Sounds like there is also a fall color trip on the St. Croix to be defined.

Anyone want to drive up to Ottertail this weekend?  Got a 10 mile long lake full of water begging to be cut up!  I am here till the 12th it looks like.  Great ski lake and some darn good fishing.  There is a great pizza place with dock space for about 30 boats!



.. it is what it is ... and that is how it should be!

I think we should plan for Saturday the 10th on Lake Minnetonka. Would be cool to see all the old Wood boats too.

Jim can you post where that good boat ramp is on Minnetonka that you usually use? Any preferences on time? I am thinking 9AM to get a good parking spot at the ramp.

It's worth the drive Ross!!

I know! I was already pissed that my buddy selfishly planned his weddding that day  :P

Wings and Wheels is awesome - it's a big show but not even close to overwhelming like Back to the 50's, and there's usually something for everyone (example being the Delorean club that always shows up). The wooden boat show sounds pretty cool though... ???

Geez, this is just about 5 miles away and I've never been there...and on the same weekend!
I'll likely bite the bullet on the drive to Minnetonka as long as I can get on and off the water without a lot of headaches like I've had when I've been there before. (crowded ramps) I'd certain prefer not to drive to the west side of the lake to put in too, if possible. Good directions would help a lot.

We will be launching at the Maxwell Bay ramp just before 9:00 AM.
