We are working out the meeting place. It's usually held at the pavilion north end of Garden city Bear Lake state park parking lot. By 2pm we are buttoning our rigs getting ready to come together. We are finding out that we may not be able to stay over night in the parking lot at marina but will get confirmation on that. Cisco beach area may be the other option. Ch69 is the channel that will be used.
 
I'm going up alone you can fish with me, will sleep in my Truck Friday night.

The percentages are much higher to have to deal with wind on the East side at Cisco Beach. Besides Parking and the drive around there. Not that this is my shindig, but I would cast my vote for staying at the state Marina where there is room to park, Less wind, not dirt blowing all over and most likely, working bathrooms and a store just a mile down the road if there is any last minute needs. Anyhow, just my thought.
 
We all prefer to keep it at the west side park. Some park rules have gone into play since new docks and other upgrades have taken place. We want to make sure things will be ok for what we are doing. I'm also thinking we can grab those tables nestled in the trees next to parking back towards park entrance.
 
Marina Update, Please read

I just talked to the State marina. The pavilion for the potluck is not open because of the construction of the new docks. No camping regardless of what the website says because of a lack of space, DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. I will be camping at Rainbow Cove. We can launch from the marina in the morning and camping / park pass paid for on the East side will cover you for launching in the marina. If we have a non wind day, laugh hyst, launching from the east Side will not be an issue. We will have to Pot luck it at Rainbow or the city Park. Chime in with you ideas and preferences for the pot luck location.

Everyone, Make sure AIS paperwork is current and displayed. She said that all paperwork is being checked. Includes In State Utah residents. Make sure your paper work is on the dash of your Truck if you launched a boat and have your boat trailer attached.

If the activities are set to be on the East side, I suggest a later meet & greet time. I'm coming to fish first and eat second.
 
Well........................... I am looking to come up to fish and enjoy myself. I really have no desire to drive all the way around to Rainbow to launch when my house is on the west side 10 minutes away from the state marina. I wish i had room to accommodate a gathering but i don't. The wind will most likely be an issue. It always is up there at that time of day and if it isn't, its a miracle. just my two cents.

The city park is an option i guess. would just take a phone call to Garden city to ascertain if its open for use. 5 minutes from the state marina.
 
Unfortunately there is construction going on at the state park marina. I contacted the city park in which we can use the park. There are no fees to use the park except for the pavilion. We can set up a couple of tables which I will donate the one I have and we all can spare a chair. This will be a one time inconvenience but should work out. Parking as I was informed shouldn't be a problem.
