Madison Lakes Get Together- Aug. 14th
 

How's it going all. Seeing how we no longer have an official poker run anymore on the madison lakes, I thought it would be nice to just organize a little get together for a day on the madison lakes for anyone that would like to join in. Date will be the second saturday of August (14th), and if the weather will not cooperate, the 15th can be the back up date. I'm open to suggestions from people familiar to the area wether or not we want to stay on one lake, or tour the chain. Touring the chain would require going through S-N-W areas as well as a lock. Gilligans Island, is the hang out between lakes Menona and Waubesa, but in my opinion it get's too crowded with people that don't have the common sense or curtisy of being careful around other boats. Therefore, I would suggest we start on Mendota, and we could go through the lock and tour Menona and Waubesa, then make our way back through the lock and hang out at Picnic Point on Lake Mendota. It has facilities on shore with a short walk, and a nice sand bottom until about 20 feet from shore. We could raft up there and hang out. Also available on Mendota, is Mendota County Park. There are slips available there (5) and an overnighters could stay there. Facilities are also available there. Marshall Park on Mendota is a real nice launch, as well as Warren Park. Again, we can cement the details in place closer to the date. So if anyone's interested in joining in, please post up and include the boat you run. If you have any other questions you can email me at:

I'm in. Sounds like a perfect plan to me. Should be fun.

I'm in...2003 Baja Boss 275...looking forward to it....

Damn it.....I would so love to join but I will be away at a NHRA event that weekend! If anyone happens to attend Aquapolooza next weekend let me know I will be there! 97 Crownline 225 CCR white black with no stripes or graphics other then the crown emblems.

Hey all. To anyone that wants to join in, if we decide to tour the lakes, we will need a lock pass for the day. The lock charges $5/day. I can get these passes ahead of time and collect money and hand them out if I know ahead of time. So let's keep this in mind. This would be used to go from Lake Mendota to Lake Menona, and them back through again. The ride through the channel is a nice one, there are quite a few newwer bridges.

I went through the channel this weekend and the water levels is high, only about 8-10" above my windshield on the 2nd bridge from Monona.

yup, i know. went through myself this weekend with the ski.
