2nd Lake Champlain Milk Run - Saturday July 31st
 

OK here we go last year was so much fun that here are the parameters of this years run;

Same Outrageous Price--- $0.00
Same route--- I'll post again.
Crews----Hopefully same bunch of people everyone said they wanted to come back and maybe more
Same liability from GLH---- none!
A few of the owners of the stops said they wanted to sponsor this year's event, since there is no expense I guess we'll give the stuff away at the Naked Turtle like last year.

Lets start with the pic of the organizing party Friday night, I'm still wondering what we were suppose to organize!!!!

L to R.
GLH, Andy (Rye&pepsi!!!), Marie (JS232's wife), K-Lee (glh's wife), Yves (in front), JS232, Airpacker(Sam Adams).

Same route I'll post details later;

Some pictures of small parts of the Lake

Any change in hardware, intentions or head count let me know.

Last years courageous crews!

Somebody just go get a backhoe any dig the 300' so the 2 lakes can connect. Now that would be fun

And this is the rig carrying the cards this year;
Have to squeeze a few of the new rig!

Another angle :D

Big expensive ($14.99)butane stoves. Those things are bullet proof (we've dropped ours in the lake a couple times, just dried it and go)clean and they heat like crazy and can cook anything. Killer for eggs, beacon, pancakes, toast and everything else later in the day. Keep an eye on it they get HOT!!! They even come with a case!

Butan cans are around $2-3 bucks and last 4-5 meals. Weights about 5 pounds

This site has them for $14.99 but if you do a search for "portable butane stove" you can get them anywhere.

That one shot further back is interesting...with that breakwater:confused: with the boat going though the whole. What's dat???

Glh, I should able to make it this year.

Yes, kanookstr I did whip out last year.

formula 242, me and the mrs

G.L The run is on the calandar. Count me in.

New ride:

336 Formula/ 454 mag's

It use to be a train track bridging to the Islands it was decommissioned in the '70s and the rotating bridge was taken out.
You can see it in the satellite picture of Leg 1 we go north/west and after going thru the same cut as the picture head south toward Burlington.

We are planning on being there. This was one run we regreted missing last year.
Excavator said he is in as well.
2/25 Active Thunder
3/38 Formula

Ill check with the rest of the Hudson River crew down by us.
GLH, I got your VM and will try and give you a call when I get through all this paperwork on my desk :crazy:

I would love to do this also... the lake looks gorgeous..

G.L.

Shane It'll be fun to have you up here again.

"Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet"-Roger Penske

Here's a pic of Shane's rig with the hood up when he got lucky with "the preperation of the hole in the bottom that had the opportunity to leak" !!! :D

Just bustin yahh buddy!

Now THAT is FUNNY!:D :D :D

We would like to attend. It's a weekend I'm not SUPPOSED to work. If the schedule doesn't change and Grandparents can be suckered in to babysit, we'll be there. Can't be definate until I know my work schedule isn't changing. But it's on my calender!

Hey Frenchy :), are we gonna get loaded up and stay at the Turtle friday night again?

Frenchy.....hahahahahahahahahaha:D :D :D

Do square headed Ontarians ask stupid questions?
If we don't do that what is the point of this whole boating thing???
It ain't broke don't fix it.
