I'm going with the slowing of the economy AND high gas prices

.
Wakeup did the math but not with my figures

. Traveling 800 miles round trip
in a truck getting 13 mph pulling 8000 lbs of boat and trailer. Now toss in a week in a NASWA cottage , food , entertainment and a boat that gets almost 1.5 mph on a good day. Last trip to the lake was over 200 miles on the GPS in a week. We're looking at $2000/$2500 for the week. That will go a lot further staying home and doing the day trip and boat thing PLUS you get two extra days because a day is shot each way in travel ,which is exactly what we did last week

Well , maybe next year at the lake again

Sure did miss the labsta at Sandy Point though
