A friend of mine went up there with his 38 Cig a couple of summers ago and said it was awsome. He also said he got in the water to his knees to load the boat on the trailer and said it was like ice :eek:

YA it is cold but you can drink it,clear and clean--clean and the most beautiful settings and places to go that you will find anywhere and there are alot of place's to hang out and raft up where the water is warmer.

The 1000 Islands is one of the most beautiful waterways in the world; period. The poker run in Aug is awesome; also there is a smaller run in June based in Alexandria bay, NY. Last year there were 3 AT's out of 38 boats. It is a smaller run than the one in Aug and it is on the American side. The big run in August is out of Kingston, ON and is on the Canadian side. After 911 everything changed. Both runs are incredible. I will be at both, as well as thew SML in May, Jammin on the James & possibly Lake Cumberland.

spilman I will see you in June if you are there. Keep me posted:cool:

Great responses!

I am also interested in whether most like bigger events or smaller events. I guess smaller meaning 25-50 boats or bigger as in 50+.

Obviously local is easier and more fun because it's convenient. How far would you travel to do a run? And if you would travel far, why? New location? Different water or atmosphere, etc.

Anyone up for a Rhode Island run?

Cosmic12...I always go up to Alex Bay for both runs...we stay on the river near Jacques Cartier state park, about 18 miles NE of the bay. I've just started participating in the A-bay run...this will be our third year. We usually just spectate @ the big run in August...too many 100+mph big guns to try and run the 28 with! But this year we may do it anyway. We will definitely look for you.
