Is there a list of activities, or a schedule of events that the group is taking part in? Any help would be appreciated.

Wayne, glad to hear you can make it. Since the group can get incredibly large, with well over 100 people all possibly wanting to do something different, we try to accommodate as much as possible but it is nearly impossible to include everyone 100% of the time. I organized the boat cruise because we have been going to the lodge for years and no one had ever tried it, so this year we will. If it is a success, we will try to organize multiple boats for next year.

Make sure to read through these threads and see what people are talking about doing, but most importantly, attend the driver's meeting on Friday night in the lodge lobby and you will get much more info about routes and info. As far as things to do, most kind of organize in smaller groups. Some like to drive fast, others prefer to see the scenery or go shopping. You will find, this is a very friendly group, if you are ever unsure, please ask anyone. We want everyone to have fun, but sometimes we have those who will not 'help themselves' and then say they were left out. We never intentionally leave anyone out, but if you don't get involved and ask, sometimes with a group this large, that can happen. Every trip, we have gone off with a different group for an adventure cruise and always had an absolute blast...

If you don't know anyone and you see a highly modified graphite coupe with a short bald guy driving a hot blonde around, come say hello, I am John, and my new fiancé is Molly

The lodge is also packed with stuff to do, from disc golf to hiking and kayaking, check out the site below...

Hope this helps, I have no doubts you will have fun!
