Default Anyone from Minnesota?

Hey all!

I think we are in the minority here, but looking for others that go to Lake Minnetonka, or Lake Pepin on the river. I have about 4 - 5 boats going to Pepin the weekend before 4th of July. Looking for others to hook up with.

I was born and raised in MN does that count? Loved the area in the summer, now the winter is a different story. Still have a lot of friends that boat up in the area, mostly go fast boats. lake Pepin and Alma is a great time with the big sand dunes.

Hello,
I live in Ham Lake and boat the Croix and lake superior...also get out on Minnetonka once in a while. I'm also one of the Apostle Islands Poker Run organizers and would like to invite you and your friends up for the event. It's an awesome run and a great time is always had by all. Check out our website at www.apostleislandspokerrun.com Let me know if you have any questions...

Thanks, Gary.

I actually got the link to your website from someone in the Donzi forum. Unbelievable hardware at your poker runs. I think my boat is a bit small for Superior, but I'm upgrading this winter. I will definately check you guys out soon!

Thanks,

Tom

I'm on 'tonka sometimes.......I'd like to find a slip at some point.

It's good to hear there are cool boats running around Pepin and Superior.......maybe someday I'll trailer out there too.

Checking in! We run the Mississippi from Alma and points south. Get up to Pepin once in a while, especially when the wind picks up.

24 and Thirsty,

Nice hardware!

Alma is one of our favorite areas. We put in at Redwing and then go to Alma. That's gives you about 40 miles of non-stop boating. You gotta watch the Sheriff at Redwing... I've been pulled over many times for noise. Once we're south of Redwing, we've never been hassled.

Yes, Pepin is a blast in the wind.

Later,

Tom

Minnetonka is a launching nightmare if you ask me.....it keeps me from using the boat for sure.
