Old MS Accout Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 JAL,I live 1 hour south of the airport on a private lake with 6 homes on it and there are more lots FS. There are 4 private lake set ups within 1 hr of Minneapolis. There are lots of lakes to ski on with portables but we have lots of walleys up here also. I was on the best public water set up prior to moving to our lake but even then I had many days of waiting out jet skis and fisherman. To me it comes down to water time or driving time. I spend another 20 minutes on the road, but now I dont have to wait to ski, trailer a boat or wonder what the wind is doing on the course. I can point you in the direction you need to go.       Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAL Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 MS,What you described sounds very similar to area I currently live in MI. Need to be on the water before 6 am, otherwise forget it.   I will be sure to reach out to you for advise if this opportunity develops into something. Can't believe I'm considering going back north. Thank you.

Baller jdarwin Posted June 17, 2010 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2010 JAL - he forgot to mention - IT'S *%#ING COLD!!! Those 4 private lakes within 1 hour of Minneapolis are actually private skating rinks 11 months out of the year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Dont listen to JD. When he came up here last aug, he brought a cold front out of Alaska with him.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted June 17, 2010 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2010 It was rather funny to see JD all bundled up in a stocking hat,down parka and blankets while little kids played in the water in their swim suits! Should have asked for his man card!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller teammalibu Posted June 18, 2010 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2010 It cost a lot less to keep the beer cold up there. Boy what I would give for a week of 85 degree weather. Off to the Ridge hope the water is a little cooler over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gern Blanston Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 MS -I was in Minneapolis/St Paul this week for work. I've never been before. It's a pretty cool town. I was impressed (well, except for the metrodome and the vikings) Lots to see and do.

Old MS Accout Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 You should have called. Next time bring your stick. I dont follow the Vikings unless they are winning. Â The dome is great for them but not the Twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gern Blanston Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 thanks for the offer, but it wasn't that kind of trip. I was with the big dawgs and the trip didn't allow for any personal time. If I can swing it next time, that would be awesome. Thanks much!Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
