Yes Keith there will be a group of us that are meeeting up to hang out and enjoy the show. You and the wife should come up.

We will have a fun run for lunch on Thurs. the 11th, then that night Mike was working on a room at Boyne maybe for a drink. Sunday after the run we normally get together at State Park or Oyster Bay. Just a couple things if you want to strech out your boating time.

Hmmm...I just might have to come up Thursday

Slip 66, we will be there!

We have a 4.5ish hour ride. Will leave Thursday morning so if we make it cool, if not all good. Please post details when you have them.

Myself, Mark, and Matt will all travel up together. Slips 61,65,66

Cool, I look forward to meet you!

A group of us from Torch have slips at Bay harbor. We'll be down there Friday night for the festivities, then watch the run just outside of Charlevoix. We'll see you there.

Great, you can see the PQ and see if you could have should have or not, LOL!

I think you have my cell phone, give me a ring when you are up there.

SO appears I'm late the party once again... What do the locals here recommend as a backup to not actually doing the run? Slips available at any hotels or anything?

Was thinking I'd skip the poker run and take the car up for the car show but now it sounds like a lot of people will be hanging out by boat to watch the poker runners. Sounds like a good time, just need to sort out how to best do this Any suggestions?

Im also just watching, not slipping anyplace just trailer each day I guess. Boyne mountain resort had rooms remaining last week, check there. Looking forward to meeting a few new OSO members there!

Boyne Mt. for a room, day boat from city launch in Boyne, or check the Charlevoix Motels and day boat from Charlevoix ramp. Talked to a guy from East Jordan, they say they are going to dredge the Marina. Not a great looking place, but power, water and showers. You might try Northwest Marina in Charlevoix, have not seen anyone say they are staying there?

Assuming I can get out of work that Saturday, I will be up watching (drooling) from the sidelines as well.
