[Rhodes22-list] Minnetonka Dinner

[Steve Alm]

Paul,

Right, the eastern/lower lake has bigger water.  We have dropped the mast
and gone under the "Narrows Bridge" or sometimes take the pontoon to the
other side but we usually find it to be too trafficy with giant motor
cruisers, esp. on weekends. We like our side better although the Minnetonka
Mist is one of very few options for shore side dining without going under
any of the bridges.
