As many of you have seen in my videos from Fortune Pond Upper Michigan, that's a heck of a nice place to dive. To that end I think it's time for a Northern Vintage dive meet at a place with excellent viz in the Northern climate. Yes, I know this will be cold water diving and you won't catch me here clad in only a swim suit. But for those who can tolerate some cold water and have a sense of adventure, this is the meet for you.
It will be held at Fortune Pond in Crystal Falls Michigan. The Motel of choice is the Lake Shore Motel in Iron River Michigan. Date? May 18th - 20th 2012. For those willing to brave the cold I will bring my grill and do some bratwurst for lunch at Fortune Pond. Iron River has Mr. T's for a breakfast place. A little Mom and Pop that's really nice. Friday night, Woodz Inn for their fish fry and Saturday the classic Italian restaurant, Alice’s. It's worth it just so you can say you've been to Alice's restaurant!
The Lake Shore Motel is a Mom and Pop. It's clean and relatively inexpensive. It is located at 1257 Lallay Rd, Iron River Michigan. Phone 906-265-3611. For those wanting a little more upscale there is an Americinn in Iron River. I've stayed there and it is nice. Click on the Deep Six Scuba link for their links. Questions?
