For all you weather watchers

Weather. Fri partly cloudy and in the 60's, Sat.& Sun in the 50's. evenings in the mid 40's
10 percent chance of rain on Fri. 20 percent Sat. and Sun.

Just a note on this. The Island is surrounded by a lake that is still in the 70 degree range.
Temps on the island typically run 5-10 degrees higher than the mainland.

Plan your wardrobe appropriately :) :)

I'm looking forward to this weather. The best times I've ever had a t KI were when the weather didn't cooperate. Because we have the 4-H lodge, it really doesn't matter. A great fire up there with everyone hanging out is a great time. :D

The 2nd time I went to KI was in 2005. It rained from the minute I got to the ferry till I got back off the ferry going home in Marblehead. Cold wet rain. The WHOLE weekend. Everything I owned was soaked, but I was going home happy. I had the time of my life. By chance, I camped next to Frank Biffath and John Baker from OVT. Great guys. Frank even ended up winning a "chili cookoff" category in town that Saturday. We had a great time. Hanging out under the pavillion, up at the lodge, going into town to dry out and watching Chuck jump in the lake! :lol: All great! My son LOVED it! We even had a lobster dinner!

Well Sean, one thing will be the same as 2005. The bus in that picture, I've owned for about 5 years now! I bought it off John Baker!

I recall the cold, rainy, 2005 campout quite vividly! Once I quit pouting about the weather, I walked up to the mess hall (with an umbrella) and we had a dandy fire in the Mess Hall fireplace. Plenty of hot dogs on the roller machine. It was a GREAT time, albeit just not outdoors that evening.
