Shack Herf III

[Da Klugs]

When: August 17-19
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.

Accomodations:

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 15 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.

Available group rate rooms:

$ 119.00 - 2 queens no water view.
$ 129.00 - 2 queens obstructed water view (Only 2 of these available)
$ 149.00 - 2 queens water view and porch.

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 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.

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

Food:

Dinner on Friday – Fresh Lake Erie Perch again – Promise to have better frying capacity this year.
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
Search the cival war prison area for those rumored buried 1800's cubans

After dark = Beach fire'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 35+ 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.)

Man, cannot wait! Looking forward to some Perch & Sam's Steak! To say last year was "unforgettable" would be an understatement....for obvious reasons...

There were a couple of tents out last year. Weather was nice (although Dave says it's usually even better)!

SHAAAAAAACK HERF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm coming with the Chicken and Rob (if we can pry him loose from his WoW).

And this time, drink my beer!!!!

[Puffin Fresh]

Hmmm... I'm a maybe. I'd stay at the lodge though, as the wife would be in tow. I already promised her Cedar Point, so might as well time it right and make this also if I can.
