Pontoon makes room for the speedboat.

Damn, missed the landing again. Oh well, gotta make room for the speedboat. BadMark and company love the Glastron, so a speed boat will probably be added to the mix next year. Everyone on the lake will enjoy BadMark's speedboat!
Hey, wait for BadMark!
ANOTHER beautiful Saturday on the lake. Who doesn't love Minnesota?!
"Oh, so you're saying today ISN'T the America's cup race on Little Boy Lake? Well BadMark was ready anyway.
BadMark and company stumble on to a bachelorette party in bay three, of course the girls follow us back to mancamp. After meeting BadMark and company their fiances don't look so good anymore!
OK girls, its time to leave now.
Joel is at the wheel of the Glastron, nothing to worry about here.
A little night wake boarding.
It gets a little chilly this time of year so Allison alwways brings cabin staple "old pinky" to keep warm. (It's the blanket)
Preparing for a day on the boat means full cape codders, although with Orange Juice I think it is called something else...anyone?
Eagles are always watching over BadMark's operation, ready to pounce on BadMark's enemies and insure the safety of BadMark's friends. God Bless America.
Skipper and his Little Buddy with their tasty Cape Codders!
Don't wory, Captain BadMark will always get you where you're going.
Running the gauntlet to LIttle Boy - again.
Old Navy flip flops - prefect for the boat.
Ladies and gentlemen: BadMark is proud to present Ms. Allison - human flotation device.
This is a sure sign that the evening will be "interesting." (and that we love our Absolut Mandrin)
Many of us have spent more time on the lawn at The Wharf than on our own lawns. And that's the way many of us want to keep it.
The reamining stragglers arrive at The Wharf.
The house drink at The Wharf on Cross Lake, the "Lemonado" is the bomb! But like everything else BadMark and his friends enjoy, they don't come cheap.
Maquire's Bar & Grill on Woman Lake is the perfect spot for BadMark and company to watch our Minnesota Vikings in exciting pre-season action!
Just like high school parties, the cool kids always ends up in the kitchen.
Deputy Billy's daughter gets instant, and rare, respect and courtesy from BadMark. But why?
Buenos dias seniorita Allison!
"This my last glass of Jack Daniels honey...I swear."
....and the dancing begins. It must be 6pm.
One girl is NEVER enough for BadMark.
Brian can sing, dance, and drink. He's a triple threat. (and that's another Golden Gopher FIRST DOWN!)
Another perfect night at the fire. GO GOPHERS!
It's getting late and Brian is a little "sleepy."

BadMark is Famous!

As BadMark has now begun to be spotted on northern Minnesota lakes, he has hired an agent, bodyguard, and transportation service. Unfortunately with fame comes a loss of anonymity and privacy. It's not as easy for BadMark to just go out to lunch anymore. This is the price we pay.
Everything has changed for BadMark.

With Fall closing in fast, BadMark throws one final cabin weekend for the summer stragglers.
Ahhh, the final days of summer. BadMark navigates into b-hole and c-hols so his guests can take one last dip in the lake.
Will the Admiral make it.....of course.
Cruising under the bridge...no problem.
The low clearance is never (rarely) a problem for the Admiral and her capable (awake) crew.
Raised on Cape Cod, Brian thinks he can sail.
What are these boys so proud of? A grill full of quality meat from Montana Legend Meat Company.
Mr. & Mrs. Clausen finally catch some wind.
Heading out for some evening fishing...Kristi spots a UFO.
Ashley has everything under control....except for our navigation lights.
The husband and wife team of Mr. & Mrs. Clausen go to work to catch dinner.
Popcan watches his bobber intently....wondering why the hell he isn't at his house in Cross Lake.
The first fish of the night....and the only fish of the weekend...Kristi snags a nice large mouth bass. GO GOPHERS!
Unlike most of BadMark's female guests (and Tory) Mrs. Edds is not afraid to touch her own bass.
Fall is here....it's getting late and Allison is getting cold.
When in doubt...put Ashley at the wheel of the Admial.
Allison knows what to wear at the fire....BadMark's Mexican golf hat purchased in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) Mexico with Dean Kelman in 1995. Still works.
BadMark's level of interest in Doug's story is slightly lacking.
Ashley, a camera, a fire, and a gin and tonic is a dangerous combination.
Ahhh, the last fire. A prefect end to a perfect season.
