Beep, beep: Club attracts attention

HUDSON, Wis. -- A underscore of eight cars that pulled up to the Bass Lake Rehabilitation District’s annual picnic not far off Hudson, Wis. turned more than a few heads on Saturday.
That’s because the vehicles didn’t use the road that others had arrived on. These cars came to the fete via the lake.
Members of the St. Croix Valley Amphicar Club were honored guests at the summer assemblage.
The club members, who own vintage Amphicars that operate on both land and water, get together once a month in the summer for an quarter “swim-in.”
The Bass Lake adventure began at Meister’s Place bar in Boardman, Wis. on Saturday morning. The cars and their owners gathered so they could get somewhere at the lake together and make a grand entrance.
After splashing down at the northern public landing, the cars switched over to propeller power and motored toward the function.
Bass Lake homeowners walked down to the beach to watch the cars roll in. Several boaters out enjoying the lake were caught off security by the procession of Amphicars, providing the shocked reaction that the car owners love to see.
