O.K. I have no idea what I am getting into but have wanted to run with my fellow A.T. brothern for quite sometime. So my wife and I are going to make the trip, what are the weekend plans? We will head out of northern michigan afterwork on the wensday before and expect to be in the area sometime thursday evening. is there anything going on thursday night, anyone boating on friday, i have never been this far east.

someone(s) needs to be in charge of our entertainment, we need a julie from the love boat. we plan on staying on the boat, but where do we launch, stay, what sights should we see???

we will head back north late sunday or very early monday

please help make this a trip we wont forget, i am getting harrased big time from the boyne thunder people for missing thier run for the first time.

thanks
scott and melinda

The local VA AT cult hideout is at Activeshacks pad. Mark and Lori are right on the Chickahominy River. If you plan on staying on the boat, he might be the guy to reach out to. I'm not sure how much dockspace he's got left, but there is a ramp right down the street from his place that we all launch from.

Myself, R'Addiction, Macklin and some others will be there for the weekend.

You could also reach out to Brian/Sydwayz.

so who's butt do i need to start kissing? should we start sending mark captain or goose? or would it be better to send lori flowers? if its based on talent i can make a mean bloody mary from just about anything.

ActiveShack, Excursion, or Sydwayz should be able to help....not sure where some of the other AT cult members are staying so look into that. If your staying on the Chick near Mark's a marina around the corner called River's Rest might be a good alternative if his dock is full. Closer to the start of the run is slim pickings without restaurants like Anchor Point, Hopewell Yacht, and Small Boat Harbor, but all would have slips.

iam going to try and sit down with the gps in the next few days and see where the run starts and stops. look into some charts of the area after that. would love to hook up with someone on thursday/ friday that knows the area and hit some sites. i just know so little about the area that i read your post and say huh?? but thats why iam starting early, i will learn hopefully.

Scott, I just sent you a PM. We have you all set.

You will put on roughly 200 miles round trip Saturday and Sunday total. You will see quite a bit. And the nicest thing is you and I will not have to fill up in the middle!

Right Pat???

Mine Forget the flowers and just double up on the Goose for me

just got it thanks brian, 200 miles round trip with no fuel??? not sure about that, but if i run out i know you will be with in a mile or two in either direction. from the stories not sure if i trust pat.

i will start working on a big bottle.

Logistics are easy for me as long as I am sober! Didnt master that to well in JAX.
