Shack Herf IV - August 15-17

[Da Klugs]

When: August 15-17
Where: The Shack – Marblehead, (Johnsons Island) OH
Who: Open to everyone here



Thursday night arrivals are welcome. If you guys want to visit Cedar Point I can drive you over there in the boat on Friday morning.

Accommodations:

If you have been here in the past and slept in the Shack… you can do so again. Figure very limited addl. space, only if folks don’t return from last year, which would go to return visitors who have not stayed in the shack.

I blocked 25 rooms at The Southbeach Resort. (3 miles from shack by car) it's right across the bay from the island so we can ferry folks across on jet skis or the boat. They have 2 queens in them. It's on the water and has a couple pools, rest etc. It's about as good as it gets around us, but think family rustic. They won’t hold these forever so…

Available nightly group rate rooms:

$ 139.00 - 2 queens no water view. (15)
$ 149.00 - 2 queens obstructed water view (10)
$ 169.00 - 2 queens water view and porch. (4)

To get the group rate tell em .... "Shack Herf"... I'm so original.

If you weren't there last year ... book em up. Shack Bach lodging is .. dibs for forth time, third then second time visitors then first come first serve. Probably a good idea to book you can always cancel them if room at the Inn frees up. Unless someone decides not to come the Shack is full.

There were a couple of folks in tents last year and plenty of room for them if you so desire.

Travel

If you are flying... Cleveland. Driving instructions will be on the shack herf website is Todd ever gets off his lazy one.

Food:

Dinner on Friday – Bubbas Barbecue - Baby Backs and Chicken

Dinner on Saturday – Sams Mom’s Steak.

Lunch Friday - Will have the usual Honey Baked things for Lunches and snacks.

Lunch Saturday – Otays Pizza and the Honey baked things (Again).

Breakfasts – Volunteers needed.

Alcohol:

Contributions is this area are are always welcome.

There are hang out things to do on the island:

Smoke so many shitty old cigars the neighbors think there is a fire
Tube/water ski
Jet ski
Golf Cart
Scooters
Lose to me in corn toss (Hopefully Todzilla will run the tourney again)
Search the cival war prison area for those rumored buried 1800's cubans

After dark = Beach fire's and PPP's.

I'm easy and spoiled by the surroundings so if you folks want to wander individually or as a group there are many options:

Local Winery and restaurant - Mon ami
Putt-N-bay - Ferry ride. Historic and has about 50 bars very unique and cool.
Cedar Point - Worlds # 1 roller coaster amusement park
We are definitely going out for ice cream - Dairy dock

My plan is to have plenty of food and beverage at the shack. Probably going to get a bigger tent this year (saved our butts last year) depending upon how many decide to come.

Bottom line... Its a nice relaxed place that was built to handle large groups of people. Don't worry about it being too crowded. Unless we have 50+ you end up walking around wondering where everyone is.

Let me know If I got any of this wrong.

(Yea I copied last years post and edited it.)

Never get sick of seeing that picture. Sir Tony and I will be tenting again this year, with the queen as a new edition to the shack herf gang!

[shaerza]

Ill claim the mini-tent slot again for this year! Bringing the earplugs and my teddy bear to keep me safe at night tho!


I could be interested in splitting a room if others are.

[King James]

Dave, Tony and I would be more than happy to do brats again on Thursday night if nothing else is planned.... and Sam said she would make dessert too!

I'm in! I'm in! I promised myself not to miss this this year. Last year I was sent out of the country for work and had to cancel.

I'm thinking of tent or room. I might be bringing a second.

[Sancho]

I will be heading down this year, barring something crazy happening

Maybe some camping out as well, I do love to tent [SIZE="1"]*pun intended*[/SIZE]
