Everything you need to know about Green Lake*.

The "entrance" that has been mentioned is, I think, the West Beach* area.

actually its the East Beach where we're meeting today, although that other parking area is usually a lot less crowded. Those are great links!

"Green Lake's East Beach is located in North Seattle near the Green Lake Community Center and Evans Pool."

hey thanks shane-- we're meeting Greenlake today at 4, east beach entrance near the espresso stand!

slow lap, fast lap, slow lap somethin' like that... time to pump around some human-shaped slalom cones

**pavedwave** · 04-06-2007 08:27 AM

We'll be meeting at the lake today 3:30 at the espresso stand-- if you want to get some pumps in, drop a line!

Only a couple cel phone pics from that last session, it was pounding rain and we forged ahead anyway--

even did a nice surf style cutback without gloves...

**pavedwave** · 04-26-2007 12:23 AM

ALKI boardwalk tomorrow (thursday) evening, about 5:15 at the boat launch -- weather permitting.

hey sherp, just got word there will be some slalom on at either Cheney Hill or the Lakeland Hills spot in Auburn at 1pm tomorrow (probably Sunday too). Lakeland is preferred if there are no work crews there. drop a line if you're down -- my cels 2062769892. If I hit Greenlake that would be late afternoon around 4:30--5, and I'll call you if so-

Alki was a blast with Corey, the Dycus, and Patrick's punk rock boardwalk stunts. i gotta get footage of that next time...
