    Not likely that I can make it. But I am posting just to be subscribed to the thread on the off chance I can make it.

    Unfortunately, Fire Flake & I can’t make it.
    :confused:
    I will be driving to FL on Monday the 6th… that will be too much traveling for my poor old back, plus she can’t get the first week off of any month.

    No problem, I think there's 1 or 2 more people near me, can't think of the names though.

    I'll be there Dennis. If there's room on the cabin, I'll take a bed, if not, I'll probably set up a tent.

    The Badger would definitely make it a much easier trip for me. I know they shut down early last season due to a parts issue with one of the loading ramps. Showing brulee and they couldn't procure the part(s) in time. I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't have this fixed for next season, but I think they start later than the first week of May. The first trip a couple years ago was may 20th.

    The lake Express from Milwaukee started may 5th in 2023, so that might be an option.

    So you bring the whole crew over for 1 day! :D
    I've done that before with Walts GTG...which is generally on my wifes Bday (or close)...they were all going to come this year, but it was supposed to rain all day (and pretty much did) so I knew that wasn't happening!

    I think they have it fixed already. At least it seems I saw an article about it lately. There will be room in the cabin. Tent room too for anyone if they want to bring one.

    I’d bring the camper most likely. So going around to the Mackinaw bridge isn’t out of the realm for me. I sure don’t want to go through Chicago is all.
