Preparations are under way for this multiple day outing. We are hoping for a good turnout this year. There will be a get together at Shorts Brewery Friday night around 8:30, and also a cookout Saturday around 2:00pm at the river house in Rapid City. Gordon Day has offered up his rental house on the Rapid River for the outing dates in support of our organization. The river is to shallow to access the dock so trailering to and from lakes is the only option here. This house will hold 10-12 people, numerous beds, bunks, and couches. If we need more capacity, the Loons Nest Guesthouse on Clam Lake has been reserved as well. They have a dock for up to three boats. ** you do not have permission to see this link **. loonsnestguesthouse.com/

Camping is available at the Whitewater Township Park on the southwest shore of Elk Lake for those who chose. <url url="[Permission to view this media is denied]
