O.K. - O.K... I'm bringing this post back to the top.. put it on your calendar if you haven't already.. diving in the Vergas, Dent, Detroit Lakes area. Read some of the previous posts here for more info. Everyone's welcome! Bring your family (I know it's fathers day and all). If your children would like to learn to water ski between dives I'll gladly teach them.. (I've taught maybe 70 kids or so to water ski, I'm getting good at it - teaching that is), kids first.. then if some of you old foggies want to ski or learn how maybe you'll get your turn too. The cabin will be open for use of the restroom..and cooking (we have a large grill too), one fridge/freezer should be empty too. Depending on who of my rellies show up it might be open for sleeping space.. the boathouse will be cleaned up by then so if the weather is inclement that would be a good place to throw some sleeping bags/pads on the floor too. Lot's of room to pitch a tent in the yard, easy to drive stakes (sand), Not sure yet what the Dent,Vergas area has for hotels, b&b's, cabin rentals, etc.. but maybe I can find out or you can do some homework. Perham has a Super 8 or similar. Perham and Vergas are kinda neat touristy towns. Dent is as the name implies... From the cabin, as previously mentioned Dent- 5mi., Vergas- 10mi., Perham-14mi., Detroit Lakes - 25 mi., etc., etc., My boat can handle 4 divers easily, 5 o.k., 6 not so good (it's an 8 passenger boat) and there is lot's of good shore diving in the area or we could run the boat back and forth some. Let's pray for good weather and calm seas, and lots of good stuff to find!!! I plan to be there the afternoon of Friday the 13th , See Ya Then.. ;D
