Pay for camp sites and boat launch at the RV office.
Boat launch is included with camp site or hotel room.
Key to shower rooms is included with camp site.
There is not water or electricity down by camp sites, But is by rest room/showers.
With camp site or hotel room you can park boat on beach over night.
More then one boat will fit in large slips, T.I. is OK with that.
We park empty trailers on south end of camp site.
If you like to keep your boat on trailer at night, you can park it by your camp site.
Bring some fire wood if you have room in back of your truck, TI has fire wood but they charge for it.
If your new to boating on the Miss. and St.Croix rivers, ask around for some one that you can follow.
It's marked well, but easy to get into wing dam's or lose sight of marker buoys.
If you have never been thru a lock, also ask about it. Pretty easy if you know what to do.
PLEASE do NOT park trailers or car/truck in parking lot above camp area.
PLEASE do NOT park cars / trucks / trailers on mounds by camp sites. They are burial mounds.

We will be there!! Thanks for posting early - we made our reservations at TI. Happy holidays, everyone!
-
Slip reservations can be made through a app dockwa. Download the app fill it out then when TI accepts it they will send a email. Just filled mine out. You will have to know length of boat,draft,and beam. Not sure how it will work for a slip that is wider and deeper for multiple boats.

Hi Glastron. Are there a block of rooms reserved at TI for the event this year?
-
No .. I don't think so
-
Mike set up Muddy Waters for 2PM ,Thursday August 10th.
We'll be in the Backwaters bar under the umbrellas.
Estimated 35 to 50 people.
-
just 3 weeks until the BIG event :D
getting excited here...
a note on Saturday, i got a call from Dave at the marina, there will be a "beach wedding" on Saturday afternoon 2:00
he figures they will be done and tore down by 3:30 so this will have minimal effect on our event.
boats can stay on the beach if not going to the Kinni, they just ask that we don't disrupt the ceremony if any of us are around.
this happened several years ago also, i seem to recall a story about the cupule having pix taken on or in someone's Glastron.
just cant wait to see everyone in a few weeks.

Gettin' close to the meet ..
-
Good morning! I'm trying to figure out how to make it down there. There is so much going on that weekend as it's my 50th birthday on the 12th. I may only be able to make it down on Sunday. I'm very hopeful to be able to bring my GT-150 down and meet you all!
-
Celebrate your birthday in style Saturday at the meet. By far if you?re going to come for one day Saturday is the day to come. Hope you can make it.

FYI, I made reservations for waters edge #37 for Wednesday -Sunday. Should arrive afternoon on Wednesday to set camp, put CVZ in. Was thinking maybe naughty hawg night since Friday night might be really busy? Asking if anyone wants a ride over. Looking forward to seeing everyone, especially since I missed last year's meet due to work obligations.
-
I'll swing down Thursday around noon.
-
I?ll be down mid morning to get in for the ride to muddy waters for lunch.
-
I will be making a couple of trips down on Wednesday, then staying through Sunday

Jeff not included in winning bid ..

Couple of things that just came to my attention, apparently all the campsites are numbered where we normally camp, I just called and reserved 39 through 42 basically for our combined space, that?s normally where we would be, if anybody?s planning on camping down there should probably call and make a reservation.
-
Update on gas dock at Treasure Island is closed for repairs.
But might be open on weekend.
There is other gas dock along our planed routes ..
Two or three in Afton
One or two in Prescott
Two in Hastings
Two in Red Wing
-
Hoping the temp store will have ice, seems like a daily need for me at least.
-
Closest would be Dakota Station .. but to far to walk ..
-
Well that sucks.
-
Just think of all the tasty 3.2 beer you could score there Doug!
-
Thursday we will be leaving Treasure Islsnd going to Prescott for lunch. We will be leaving at 1pm for a 2pm reservation.
