All systems go! See you there. Here's the original e-mail with details



Please see the attached picture and details from Mike LaMar (our boat captain and host) below:

Map to front gate:
From Interstate 70:  Entrance road (Borgmann) is off Route T, 10 miles south of Interstate 70 (Foristell exit 203).
From Highway 94 near Interstate-64  at Weldon Springs:  16 miles West on RouteD  from Highway 94,  Left (south) on Route T, ¾ mile.

The guard at the gate will verify your name on the guest list (via intercom) to let your car in. Then follow signs to the Clubhouse (approx. address:  441 Marina Drive)

We will be gathering at the outdoor picnic tables area on the lake side of the clubhouse (NOT inside the clubhouse); see attached image.
There are a few picnic tables in the shade under the clubhouse deck. The majority of the picnic tables for large gatherings are in the tiered patio area.  The tables have umbrella holes, but unfortunately no umbrellas.  We may need volunteers to bring patio umbrellas (or look into renting a few, depending on anticipated turn-out).
There is at least one barbeque grill in the picnic table area (possibly one or two others – need to double-check).
There is ample beach swimming with some rules, most notably:  Children under the age of five or under 3 feet tall must be accompanied by an adult.  Children under the age of nine (9) will not be permitted in the lake unless accompanied by swimmer of at least 14 years.  It is a highly recommended policy to have all children under the age of 9 wear a flotation vest whenever within 30 feet of the lake or docks.   If you are bringing a young child and already have a floatation vest, it would be a good idea to bring it.
Everyone should bring their own towels for the beach and/or boating.

We are free to bring whatever food and drink items we want, but NO GLASS containers are allowed in any of the entire beach and patio area.
The beachside snack bar should be open from noon until 8pm, with additional food/soft drink/candy/ice cream items for sale, and can also provide an air conditioned refuge for anyone needing more of a cool-off.  

There will be periodic boat rides and towed tubes rides throughout the day.  We will try to get everyone interested out for a ride.  There WILL be life vests available for everyone onboard during boat rides, but people should bring their own towel onboard if they wish to dry off after being in the water.  Mid-day lake conditions are usually better suited for tube rides, and anyone is welcome to tube ride (tailored to their thrill level).   The boat is also equipped for waterskiing and wakeboarding, but lake conditions are usually better for that earlier (or later) when the water is smoother.  Weather permitting, we will try to have the boat ready for action as early as 0900.  Anyone who wants to come out early and ski or wakeboard is welcome to do so.   Depending on level of athleticism, waterskiing/wakeboarding for the very first time can be a time consuming prospect, so skiing and boarding may be limited to those who have at least reached a beginner level of being able to come up.  That guideline might be relaxed, depending on demand, once everyone has had a shot at some fun.

Guests are welcome to come early and/or stay later to enjoy the amenities, fishing, outer playground, etc – just please remember to follow all posted rules, including speed limits on the roads.  If anyone is interested, we can even discuss the possibility of camping at Sherwood’s campground.
