Tommy-bite me. I never mentioned anything about ramps. If I had, the only one that I would recommend is McKinley. And if you are slipping on the river then you should know that there are some real nice slips and some really crappy ones. How would I know which ones garshev rented? Thats why I said South Shore or McKinley. Their slips arn't perfect but they will definetly work.

garshev-you mentioned the city park. That would suggest McKinley http://www.countyparks.com/aquatics/marina.html (414-273-5224) because it's surrounded by a park. Some people complain that the piers are too high, but they are solid and the facilities are nice. There are showers available too. I think that it would be an excellent choice. There is a Skipper Bud's (414-482-0900), but it's way off in a canal and I can't recall any slips being available. Harborside (414-273-0711) is just in the river. Really good access. There is a small public ramp right next to it, but the only parking is a couple of blocks away on the street. I can't comment on the availability or quality of slips. South Shore http://www.ssyc.org/_site02/default.asp (414-481-2331) is also a really nice marina. I havn't been able to tour their facilities so I can't really comment on them

I nearly forgot...I went out and bought a db meter last night. Went around the house measuring different sound levels. My diesel truck at idle is putting out 91db. My new overhead valve push lawnmower is at 90db. 86db is going to be really, really tough to meet. :( I'll do some more testing to help give you guys a feel for what 86db is.

Cord, LOL ;)

91 on your truck seems low ;) I heard that sucker 1/2 mile down the road the other day :)

I would take the meter to the ramp and just see what levels are produced around the dock. I agree 86 is a joke but as the DNR said, they are only out enforcing what someone else put on the books.

BTW, got back some of the photos from over the weekend and I will post a few of your boat WITH Deanna driving LOL. Also tell her to send more cookies. :)

Well, that was at idle. :D

:D Gee I wonder why? :p

:D

Cord,
Just so we are on the same page, I was speaking of the noise and the slips in the river. There are some pretty nice ones, where I dock in particular. And there will be NO TICKETS issued during the week-end of APBA in the river or anywhere in the Milwaukee area. Just so we understand each other.

Tommy.

Here are the people donating the equipment. No wonder they are pounding us in Oshkosh.

The Poygan Lake Sportsmens Club has donated 2 complete sets of meters and
clubs associated with the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs have
donated several meters.

Why are snowmobilers donating DB meters?

I wonder if the equipment was the idea of the donator or the DNR asked for the equipment to be donated.

Snowmobile trails on private land were getting shut down left and right because of loud pipes on sleds. The clubs had no choice but to donate in order to appease the private land owners.
