Tom & Phil:
Thanks for the heads-up on Dave. I was unaware of his reputation. And to think that I have unwittingly spent several days fishing with him since last summer, even as recent as a month ago. I hope I don't get blacklisted! :>)
Tom:
There are no good excuses for not building another boat. The obvious answer to not having room is to get a bigger place. My eight boats hardly make a dent in my multi-acre yard. I figure I could always add a story or two to existing buildings if space becomes tight.

Kevin, One could be built for a price??
If you just bring the bedroom you can ride in my boat now that I have the lower unit on right and the gaskets all sealed up ;^)) Call me, we can plan.

Now wait one minute, I was there two years ago and brought two pies, a rhurbarb and door county cherry, I cann't help it if you wimped out after one day and didn't stay for Saturday.
And yes, I wimped out last year, two kids and the youngest still in diapers would not have made for a fun trip. However, I expect to make it this year, hopefully camping over. Although not sure what I am bring, I am looking forward to trying that apple pie.

Mark and Kevin. You guys are soooo funny I forgot to laugh. If I try to run through the kind of crap I did at Pelican maybe I should make some stainless sheer pins and the 25 is securly bolted on so Murphy will have to find something else to taunt me with. Lacrosse is good place to find the weak points and fix/improve before the season. (That would be my "half full glass statement " for the year.

Here are some links to the Goose Island Campground websites.
For contact information and reserving a site: http://www.lacrossecountycamping.com/
For campground map: http://www.co.la-crosse.wi.us/Departments/Facilities/Documents/GICampLayout.pdf
Pete, Tom: Do you guys remember which site numbers you had last year?
For the park map with location of the shelter: http://www.co.la-crosse.wi.us/Departments/Facilities/Documents/GIPrkMap.pdf
I've reserved Shelter #2 to be opened up at 10am Saturday morning (August 6). I think we started at noon last year, but I'm not sure.
FYI: I had a real hassle reserving the site this year. It seems that there were some complaints last year about a rowdy gang of pie eaters that trashed some of the shelters--all the usual stuff, pie tins tossed everywhere, cheese wrappers, ice cream smeared on the walls, plastic forks inserted in places they don't belong. It's the sort of thing you always see when pie eating gets out of hand. Anyway, I assured them that we would keep our pie eating under control. Still, the rules state that no one can eat more than five pieces of pie at one sitting. And they are going to set up check points at the park entrance to test blood glucose levels. They don't want anyone driving back from the event under the influence of baked apples.
