All the rooms are full in town already, Boyne Moutain is about 6 miles from us and they have several options. I posted the info above. Some of the people do sleep on the boats.

Boyne has hotel rooms, condos big and small. Would be a grerat choice especially w the new transportation option

That area is beautiful for those considering going, you will be happy! We were up there camping a few weeks before the event last year. Stayed at the Petosky state park up the road a "bit".

Would love to have a boat worthy of the event to attend, maybe some year. I did just notice that the route is a little more protected not heading out to the islands this time, should be fun to enjoy the coast line more. I know our 5 children really enjoyed the area, very family friendly.

And you can't help but like the benefit they support. Being involved in helping children, I can attest to what a great cause it is helping BT support camp quality. Wow, Lake Michigan, the Traverse area, HP and a good cause, what else could you ask for?

Thank you for your support Brian. The Petoskey State Park has a awesome beach, our state park in town is a little more boater friendly and the water temps are a little warmer.

I know my parents camped at whiting park the last 2 years, and loved it. Nobody gave me any static about pulling in and throwing anchor with my fountain.

Absouloutley gourgeous area, I think we're going to spend the 2 weeks following boyne thunder boating the area.

Cant wait.

Young State Park is accross from Whitings Park, they have made a lot of improvements to Whitings, if you anchor on East end of park there is clay, anchor has a hard time holding. We always end up at State park for the sandy bottom, anchor sticks good!

Just booked our rooms will be up this year for sure. See you then Pete

Glad to hear. Got sure word can describe what we are expecting this year

Bill sent over the hotel details so we will be in the same place with him. Look forward to this run for sure. Keep me posted on docking as it comes available.
