[IOCA] Fall Lake George September 23-25, 2005

[John Lembke]

          School is just starting, and do you know what that means?  Its 
time to start thinking about Fall Lake George.  That's right, planning for 
the best part of the fall semester is well under way.  This year's Fall 
Lake George will be held the weekend of September 23-25, 2005.  FLG 2005 is 
looking to be a great weekend of fun.
We're making sure we can stock up on lots of apples and cider for the 
dance, steak for dinner, and the ever important Freihofer's cookies.
          Incase you're new to IOCA, or are like me and can't remember what 
happened yesterday, never mind last fall, here's what FLG is all 
about.  250 college students, 50 canoes, 3 days, 2 powerboats, 1 island, 
what more could you ask for.  Early Friday morning the RPI outing club gets 
to Bolton landing to start setting up, anytime after noon everyone else 
starts arriving.  The island is about 2 miles from the dock, you can get 
there any way you want.  We provide powerboats, and a limited quantity of 
canoes, many people bring canoes, and kayaks.  People have even been know 
to try S.C.U.B.A. diving to the island.  Friday night, while everyone is 
arriving, and setting up camp, is a great chance to get to meet people from 
other schools who share a passion for the outdoors.  Saturday is when the 
real fun begins, with tons of fun activities on and around lake 
George.  Canoeing, kayaking, swimming, sailing (bring you're boats),
swimming, cliff jumping, climbing, hiking, mountain biking, a Tri-Althalon, 
relaxing, socializing, eating, and even shopping at the lake George outlets 
(although not a traditional IOCA activity, its a good reason to drag you're 
non-outdoor enthusiast roommate with you).  Saturday night we have a great 
steak and chicken dinner (with vegetarian alternatives), then head over to 
the square dance for a night of fun.  Sunday is the day to sleep in a bit, 
pack up and head home.
