Lake Cumberland
 

I know I've got a few days but we are trying to make plans for our annual trip. Is anyone interested in joining us for a weekend of houseboating, poker running and partying on the weekend after Labor Day?

I definitely will be there, I have a house in burnside thinking about renting a houseboat for that weekend though....Were you thinking of getting one to just keep at the dock or actually tie up in a cove? Last year I got one and just left it at the dock and it was one hell of a time...

Lake Cumberland is our home dock. We have a friend there with a houseboat that we stay with often but we are thinking about renting one with some other friends. I would like to tie out for 3 or 4 nights then come in to the dock for friday and saturday night.

Mike,

What's the schedule on this run/ weekend again?

Pat

Well hi stranger.:D
The run is Sept. 6th. There is a good party on the dock both Fri and Sat. nights but being a "dry" county we MUST stay on the dock. I had two friends picked up for dui last year, one on a moped and the other on a pontoon inside the marina. It may sound bad but there are allowing us to have a big party right in front of them so you just have to play by the rules.
Yes the lake is still down and will be for years to come but it has no affect on the run. I doubt you will find less than 75 ft of water anywhere on the run.
Let's get together and make another Thunder Run out of this.

This is a great run. I'm putting it into the planner.

Maybe for us, but no boat.

I don't recall seeing a single AT on the poker run last year.

Maybe I was going so fast you couldn't see me.:D We've done this run every year since about '99 and in a Thunder since '01. As I've said earlier in this thread we stay with friends there at State Dock and I tie at there boat not at the docks out front. If we get a group of us in this it will be no problem getting them all tied together.

Well dang it, I went through all my photos and didn't see you. :( I thought I snapped a pic of every boat as it came in for the first card stop. I've been infected with the AT bug since I joined OSO and have wanted to see one in person since. I

Edit- Ok. I just had to look harder. I would have remembered if I saw it at the dock during lunch.

Mike,

Hard to tell from the pic, but is that B. Smallwood with you?

Or should I say Bob and Shari?

Sorry I wasn't hiding. We are there a few times a year and every year we do a ten day stay from Labor Day weekend through the run.

I missed that edit with the pic. Yes that is the Smallwoods with us. They have made it up the last two years. Now what about this year? Who would like to come to my playground for a great run?

We'd love to, but would need a ride.

Dates?

The run is the weekend after Labor Day. I think that makes it September 6th this year. I think we will get there on Monday or tuesday and head home on Sunday or even Monday after the run. This run is a blast with the houseboats on the docks. I would offer up some seats but I'm full. Bob and Shari will be back again this year. I did talk to Mark today and he's thinking about this run and even Pat so you should be able to get a right. To get the best houseboats and the best dockage together we need to figure things out and get it done.

We have been every year except '05 ( We got married that weekend). We have our anniversary there know. Have a group that comes from Nashville and we love it. Were not able to get a room at the state park so still don't know were we are going to stay. Boatfreak, hope to see you at the Kentucky Lake Poker Run!

I'm leaning towards doing it. SL you want to be my OCD that weekend ? :evilb: :D :grinser010:

I'm not sure we can commit to it yet Mark, but if all works out, we'd be happy to be your OCD's. :D

If SL gives you permission it's OK with me :evilb: :D

Is there a website for accomidations, etc?

He hasn't sent me enough business lately. :angry-smiley-038:

Scott :signs069: :angry-smiley-044:

If we are getting a group together for this I can talk to the dock owner and see what kind of deal he is willing to make us.
A.T. sponsership hint hint :p

Flenner, Im going to try and get a few of us from Ky lake to go. Have you tried Jamestown its 200-300 yards by water from state dock?

In the past we have not stayed there. We have stayed near the marina that is over by the FALLS. I can't remember the town but I'll look it up.

Grider Hill?

hey jim,
Grider hill is the one.

That is Grider Hill and the town is Albany

Where are we at with this? Anyone?

I don't think our plans will allow it, so we're out for now.

I'm going to do either Destin or Lake Cumberland. Just have to make the choice of which.

I have done both. Destin is the better run.

Are you nuts! "The Big One" is the big one for a reason! Its the #1 Poker Run the last three years by Powerboat.

OK I'll do both of them :grinser010:
