[Rhodes22-list] Minnetonka Dinner

[Paul Grandholm]

Slim,

     Burgers & beer are more my style too.  When we go to Lord 
Fletcher's, we usually sit downstairs outside & eat off the bar menu.  I 
like to look for the occasional old wooden boat to come in but alas, no 
sailboats because of the bridge system.  It's nice to know of another 
place that's right on the water that we can check out and maybe see some 
sailboats too.  I miss that about where I sail on Lake Michigan.  You 
would think there would be more restaurants around the harbors right on 
the water.

     According to my chart, the eastern main body of water is the lower 
lake and looks to be the slightly larger of the two, with the western 
side referred to as the upper lake.  Like I said, it's too bad that at 
least the one bridge between the two isn't a drawbridge.  It would more 
than double your sailing area.

     No immediate plans to come up there right now, but it will happen 
sooner or later.  I'll keep you posted.
