Labor Day
« on: September 01, 2011, 08:18:26 PM »
Sounds like most of you have plans, however Amy and I decided we're going out on the river on monday.  Since ft. snelling seems to be one of our favorite spots I figured someone might want to join us.  We're either going up the minnesota to valley fair or going up through the locks.  I know of a few areas where there are beaches we'll see weather or not they're submerged.  Let me know if anyone else is interested.

Sorry Sean, we'll be on the water, (I'm picking up my new solinoid tomorrow) but will be doing Square Lake county park for a little tubing, water skiing and playing on the beach with the boys.

Have a great time on the river though! If it was just the wife and I, I'd change our plans and join you!

Ft. Snelling, Monday sounds good.
Let ya know for sure tomorrow.
How about the Newport, Lion Levee launch ?
I have less then a half tank left from Red Wing and thought I could burn it up and refill at the marina by the Miss. MN. river intersection.
Just a idea ...

I'll check to see if one or two of my boys can come Monday. Gregg, with the distance from Ft. Snelling to Valley Fair, it may make more sense to launch at Ft. Snelling

I would be interested in heading out with everyone as well
I think this has become an addiction.

Fort Snelling State Park is located on Post Road off State Highway 5, just west of the main terminal exit for the International Airport.

Talk to the nice ladys at the office when ya buy your day pass.

Pretty open to the time, it'll be about an hour drive for me so does 9:30 - 10 arrival time work for everyone?  Sean, (shawn?) as for your grill the park has a few grills and picnic tables in between the parking lot and boat ramp.

Hope everyone up there has a great holiday weekend.  Most of all, BE CAREFUL of the roads and waterways!  It's just too crowded and crazy down here on the water this weekend, too many amateurs and drunks making their last hoorah for the summer.  I'm headed for the garage to finish (hopefully!) up some glass work on the GT.  ENJOY!

That's what is nice about the Minnesota River. The boaters there seem to be the more conservative group and there are never many boaters on the river. But I have met a group of Allisons and Hydrostreams tearing up the water.

I will be at Ft. Snelling between 9:30 and 10 AM Monday morning with a least one son.

Grilling after the run will be very informal, I'll bring; charcoal, paper plates, ketchup, mustard, relish, chips.  Lots of sunshine and very little wind expected, See you tomorrow.
