    Deerfield has posted a couple times about dropping in the big lake. Here is one of them:

    Keep sight of shore. Storms kick up fast. Be safe.

    liquid - Lake Michigan can be a fabulous place with your boat. My boys really like it. But you got to pick a day when the wind is out of the southwest to get calm seas. If you get there, I'd sure like to hear about your experience. - Deerfield

    phospher - The town of Twin Lakes is just north of Wilmot Ski Hill and the Illinois/Wisconsin state line. The twin lakes are Lake Mary and Lake Elizabeth. Our boat is on a lift in front of Pier West Restaurant on Lake Mary. I guess the drive time from Milwaukee to Twin Lakes is 45 minutes to one hour. There is a public launch for $7 and you can tie up right at the restaurant. Our black and red Outback is in the last slip at the end of the pier. - Deerfield

    Well I'll be damned. So your one of the illiniasians crowding our lake That is my home town, born and raised and I've actually seen your boat as me and my friends go out on that lake a lot and pick people up from that pier. My buddy has a red and white 2007 supra 22ssv(graphics removed) that we go out on a lot. Another one of my friends keeps his pontoon boat at Pier West and I have friends who live on Lake Mary. If I ever see you out there I'll stop and say Hi. I know a lot of people from that area. I actually am attending a wedding at the Twin Lakes country club this weekend. I should also mention that I've been skiing at Wilmot since I was two.

    phospher - A small world. Yes, please do. If you spot us out in the boat, get our attention and we can meet. We will be there all day tomorrow (Sunday). Am taking off Thursday and Friday this week to create a long weekend. So, we should be up there several times between this and next weekends. Look forward to meeting you. - Deerfield
