N 42° 35.707 W 087° 49.026

I`m probably in on this one.

[paulb32]

Psychotic Addiciton II will be in it. Looking forward to a good grows and some fun.

[Boatfreak]

Man I would love to do this run but it's the weekend after the Boyne run and we can't do two runs back to back.

[Bradz]

Take 50th to Simmons Park. Can not miss. The city is letting us take over the whole park. Expecting 80 boats. Great prizes and a chance to win a new 2011 Ford Raptor Truck. I saw one yesterday for the first time. WOW is that truck cool. There will be about 4000 people watching us take off across the channel at Farmers Market. Plus the City of Kenosha is pushing this hard to make it a big event. A nice dinner with entertainment, great prizes all for a small entry fee. The run costs are being subsidized by our sponsors. Not a hard choice which Poker Run to do this summer.

Can you tell me how many miles the run is set up to be and where the card stops are?

[redhotsommer]

So am I going????

Yes. Yes you are. As am I. And we should probably get the other clowns to do so as well so we can have a circus.

[Bradz]

Kenosha Harbor to Milwaukee for lunch. About 35-40 miles each way. Cards will drawn before the dinner.

[B.Z.]

I think I just registered ? Can't pay yet I have no idea how many people will be with me but I should be fun......BZ

[MILD THUNDER]

You're always fun BZ. I may register, but need to make sure my boat runs before I commit to anything formal.

[Magic Medicine]

I'm considering this one as well. Need to assemble a crew or catch a ride???

[teamsynergy]

Just signed up... anyone else?

[ICDEDPPL]

I signed up. We plan on sleeping on the boat should I reserve a slip?

[obsessed1]

Mike,

Just curious, are the slips that they are putting everyone in located in the North or South Harbor?

Thanks Rob

[redhotsommer]

Don't know Rob...didn't ask. All I did was mention I was with the Poker Run.

[paulb32]

As of this weekend the 40 and 44 ft slips are almost gone.

[OBNOXUS]

BZ....we are with you!!!:D

Mrs. OB

[B.Z.]

Question: how is the launch ramp for the run...my boat can be tricky to get off the trailer and from what I remember of the ramps there...kinda small????

[ICDEDPPL]

Question: How long is this run anyway?

[B.Z.]

Question: How long is this run anyway?

Just to Milwaukee like 20-30 miles....

[OBNOXUS]

[redhotsommer]

Rolling north at 11am on Friday! Looks like hot weather and flat water for Saturday...

[teamsynergy]

Hey Mike.. how many miles is this run? I hope to be on the road by 9am my time...

[OBNOXUS]

30m each way

[redhotsommer]

Todd - you might be rolling through at about the same time we're leaving...we could meet up at the O'hare Oasis. Give me a call and let me know where you are at in the morning when you hit IL.
mike

[teamsynergy]

Will do... little mini convoy....

[MILD THUNDER]

Will do... little mini convoy....

Go 80w to 294 north! Don't try to go thru the city...Rush hour traffic sucks.

[teamsynergy]

You coming to Joe?

[redhotsommer]

REMEMBER YOUR PROOF OF INSURANCE!!!!

[teamsynergy]

I was gonna use that as my excuse to ride on the big red boat... bummer...

[MILD THUNDER]

You coming to Joe?

No, wont be able to attend. You guys have fun!! :cheers2:

[ICDEDPPL]

AS far as dinner attire speedos are cool right?

[redhotsommer]

Encouraged, actually.

[B.Z.]

AS far as dinner attire speedos are cool right?

got mine packed .....

[redhotsommer]

Must be a big suitcase.

[ICDEDPPL]

NICE!

[B.Z.]

Must be a big suitcase.

can't decide on what color

[redhotsommer]

I vote for red. That's what color the rest of you will be after a weekend of 90 degree weather anyway.

[MILD THUNDER]

I vote for purple bz. This way you can really represent "purple asses"

But be sure they are your normal speedos and not your Victoria secret thongs. There will be kids there.

[OBNOXUS]

No, wont be able to attend. You guys have fun!! :cheers2:
