"SUMMERLUDE" is the nickname we've given to a sort of family reunion event we try to have every year. The tradition started many years ago as a long ski-weekend in Lake Placid, and was originally called WinterLude. However, after two consecutive years of flu induced puke-fests, we opted to move the event to the summer time so we weren't all cooped up together in an incubator like setting - hence "SummerLude"

The first few were held at Minowbrook, an old great-camp on lake Placid, and then we started to alternate between the "Marlboro club" on Saranac Lake, and Sprucewold Lodge on Booth Bay Harbor in Maine. The 2004 SummerLude was held at The Moorings, in Wellfleet on Cape Cod, and in 2006 we returned to Miane, but this time to Owlshead near Rockland.
