Boyne Thunder 2018

That is if the ice ever melts.

Wasn’t sure if I was going to make it up to BT this year - even without a boat, it’s always a great time. Then, a week or so ago, The Wife says, “Gee, that camping spot you got last year really looked nice – can we do that?”

I reminded her that I camped at Whiting Park because last year, I waited until the last minute to decide about heading up to BC and (being by myself) decided to save some $. “No big deal,” she says. “I camped all the time when I was a kid – I think it’ll be fun.”

She’s right. It was fun – and the view in the morning, looking out from my tent - (when I woke up from my lager-induced haze) can’t be beat.



Looking forward to a fun weekend. July 11th is my 60th B-day, so we are going through Detroit (to see some historical sites - Ford, Dodge Houses, etc.) and overnighting in Grayling before heading over to the campsite in BC on Thursday morning. Thursday, Friday and Saturday in BC and Charlevoix, then we hit the road middle of the afternoon and head down to Frankenmuth to stay over Saturday night.

We’ll head back to Akron on Sunday, but I might try to talk her into stopping at Port Clinton and going out to Put-in-Bay on the way back, since I have Monday off, too.

Beautiful day here today. Have not finished servicing the lower units on the PQ. I’m sure the dinghy will be burning some gas tonight.

Cool! See ya there

So team D.O. will not be attending BT this year. I was hoping to come up without the boat but that just isn't going to happen this year.

With that being said, I have a condo reserved at the mountain. Disciples 2 bedroom plus loft. 5 beds total. 3 bath etc.

Anyone need a place to stay? I can see if I can transfer the reservation, and it was reserved far cheaper than can be booked for now, even with the BT discount code!

Maybe I should take it to hide from all the craziness. LOL

I was going to post this on FB a couple times in the next couple weeks. Not sure what else I can do. For the guys that didn’t know, Mike almost hit one last year.

It might be worth working with the local news to get it out there reminding UAS operators of the rules and to fly safely.

The marina is filling up with offshore boats. Max pulled in late last night.
