Happy to see the interest.
I usually day trip.
I have found Glastron owners in that area that do not know about the club.
Brian is going to mail me some business cards to promote the club.  I will remind him in a few weeks, that man has to be still recovering from all the hard work of the big 2010 event.
We may draw some other Wisconsin boaters, or Winona, Lacrosse and Onalaska are big boating communities.
I am just thinking of a few friends boating in a different area for a day, but I also always think of the club as a whole.
There is a rumor that if a person new the back waters there may be a clothing optional beach but of course I have never boated past that area.

Would you like to host the meet next year ?
It's not a big deal, Dave hosted the Minn. river meet, Jim the Minnetonka meet.
Just post a date that works for you and adjust to others needs.
Find a beach for lunch/dinner, map out a route of about 15 to 20 miles, places to gas up, etc. etc.
Just a though...you know the area better then us.
OH ...Sign me up I'd love to be there !

Host?
Yes:  just casual like the other post I read I can do.   Post: question?s date, time that works for people, adjust to the replies.  Then pick a time and place to meet, post a map, and give out my phone, It would be a nice day trip like the Fort Schelling trip I attended earlier this year.  I can pick a family beach for a little cook out.  Wabasha has 2 full service marinas with gas, and the Alma marina is the trips destination is full service with gas.  I would post hours open, miles of trip, and get everyone in the water and pointed in the right direction.  The club members always look out for each other and make sure everyone gets back.

If you want to have the Glastron club attend there city boat event in numbers (NO). 

I would help but not interested in hosting our gang taking over there party.  I have never been to there boat days we maybe could and should have a small show of our boats, but I am just thinking of a small group boating in a different area for a day.

" Yes:  just casual like the other post I read "

The Snelling meet that you were at was hosted by Dave.

Your just setting it up ...(Hosting)

NO ...Nothing big like Red Wing ...
Pick a date and post it, adjust for others needs. Might be a long trip for most so wouldn't be a huge turn out.
To early in the spring the water levels might be to high, to much crap floating down stream.

I would love to take a trip south of lake pepin. Brian and I did look into places south of lake pepin to have the meet when we moved it to red wing the second year but all the campgrounds down there don't have a proper marina or anywhere to dock the boats.

Thanks Gregg
Host any time.  I will be something different next summer.
If we have a fall like last year I may post that I will be on the water some warm day in October.
The thank you is for helping me as a new person to understand how to fit in to the group.  Like how to post ideals, interests, and thoughts.  It?s all new to me.  And every one has been helpful and friendly in making me feel welcome as part of the group.  There is kind of a forum etiquette I never learned, and no formal rules, just a group of friends with a similar interest.

I would agree the area has no facilities for a large event.
It is just a different and beautiful area to boat.

Yep ...
It's all just about boating in our favorite boats ...

We have a cell phone list (which I can email you ) that you should add your number to for on water contact/emergences.
You already have two ready to go !
