There has been a request...they're looking for any and all boat graveyards in the area so that they can explore and see what's out there. Any bone yards still around up there?
Also they're looking to meeting up with any and all area members that might like to hang out and accompany them to said boat yards, explore any dealerships, generally, just absorb the boating life in MN.
I'm not sure if that graveyard is still open? Any other places or ideas on where they could go?
Chime in! I'm sure they'd love to hear ideas!!!

From their web site http://www.boatingatbeanies.com/houseboat.html (http://www.boatingatbeanies.com/houseboat.html) houseboat is designed to sleep 10 people. The legal limit for this boat is 12 overnight guests. Please add $50.00/ night per person for each guest in excess of 10. The boat is equipped with 4 sleeping rooms, 2 bathrooms (one with shower), two refrigerators, a full kitchen and living room, central heat and air, front deck with a gas grill, upper sun deck with fly bridge, and water slide.
Alma Marina also rents them. They are a little further down river on the bottom side of Lake Peppin.

There may be a few others but I just knew of these off the top of my head.

The 2-4 hour drive to the north shore of MN between Duluth and Canada is a must if you have the time. The entire area should be a national park as far I am concerned. Depends how much time you have though. Otherwise Minneapolis around St. Anthony Falls/Stone arch bridge is a cool area. Minnehaha falls. Skip the Mall or America..... It's just a really big mall.
I'd disagree on skipping the MOA...if you've never experienced a Mall in your home country...this is the one to see.

I disagree also, It is just a huge place you have to go see even if you only walk in and walk back out. Amber had never been there until we had our trip in December to pick up Ben's old boat. She really enjoyed it. If we would have had the time Amber wanted to go to the aquarium in the basement.

There used to be one on HW 65 just south of Isanti, but he sold the property a couple years ago, supposedly he moved his "stock" to another location farther North, don't know where or if he's still open.

Not sure what Tim's status is for the event. His GT is at Trent's apparently getting the Merc 115 TOP worked on. The 460 for his 23 needs some time to assemble the long block, redo the pump, and some other stuff. He has that slated as a winter project. I've offered to have him ride up with me and split fuel costs, but have not received any confirmation one way or other.
