Fortune Pond May 11-12th is ON...
- With the lateness of Spring this year, we were worried that the ice might not be melted off Fortune Pond in time for our scheduled May 11-12th dive trip. But Spring has finally arrived and is melting the lake ice all over... with a vengeance!
- Fortune Pond is located just east of Crystal Falls, MI on New Bristol road. We usually stay at the Lakeshore Motel in Iron River which is 16 miles east.
- Most of us will arrive at the lake on Friday around noon. We'll get in a couple of dives and then head back to the motel in Iron River. We usually try to go out to eat at Alices restaurant, which is the nicest restaurant around for probably 20 miles. Prices from medium to high. There's also a pizza place and fast food restaurants. Saturday we'll get in a couple more dives. Some of us will be leaving around 2:00 PM Saturday so we'll be able to get home in time for Mothers Day on Sunday the 13th.
- Ron Sheriffdiver has offered to bring barbecue beef for lunch on Saturday. I will bring my portable grill and Venison Cheddar Brats for Friday. BYO beverages and if you'd like to contribute cookies, chips, potato salad, you will be appreciated.
