A good pic from one of our local photographer, this is Oyster Bay near Charlevoix. One of the top hang outs on the lake.

Man, U guys are right.....The water is super low right now. I snapped this pic yesterday and and couldn't believe how far down the water is. The row of fixed docks will make it tuff to get off your boat!

I didn't see anyone other than some old timmer picking up cans. Looked like he was headed for the Dollar General store.

Anyhow, he didn't look like anyone that would be associated with B.T. or I would have stopped and said hey.

I was hanging out around the marina last weekend. You almost can see my house in the bottom pic. The man picking up cans was Mr Deming. He lives a couple houses down. Think his old bassit hound must of died. He just walks by himself now.

Hey stupid question, but I will ask it anyways... Do any of the boats have to take on fuel during the run, or can everyone make it the 150 miles with out refueling? Just curious, becaue I have never done a poker run this long. I figure I can make the entire run with out refueling, as long as don't run W.F.O. too long.

I had to refuel, and will have to again this year. I think we got gas in Petosky?

Bunch of girls!!!!!! If I take it easy I can run 450 miles, and if I ran WOT about 200 miles

All kidding aside there is a gas dock right by the lunch stop on Round lake, I'd fill up there.

I can make the 150 miles cruising, but I am sure the pace will be faster than my usual cruising speed. I just hope if I stop for fuel, I'm not the only one. Good to know where all the gas stops are at, just too bad they don't sell 92 or 93 octane.

The old merc. SC motors like to burn fuel.....
