Lake Hartwell
 

Okay - I need honest opinions from I hope EVERYONE on the board. There are some concerns regarding the lake levels on Lake Hartwell. I've emailed good buddy Kaamacat and I'm going to check with Mrs. Wigginout to get their more expert opinions.
I'll post what I receive from them. Here's a web site on Drought Information that I found that gives some levels at Hartwell also.

I called the hotel and we would have to cancel our rooms 3 days in advance in order not to receive additional charges. I asked Rebecca Hart if there would be any charges toward Seadated and she indicated no. HOwever, I would say that if any were incurred we'd all best be prepared to pitch in and reimburse Seadated immediately.

:( :mad:

Bottom line - if we go to Hartwell still who would really attend and who would opt out due to the lake levels? Honest responses needed from all of you pretty pretty please.

Hartwell...
 

Oh yeah - if we do not go Hartwell, will you go to Lake Martin and, if so, did everyone enjoy the Jameson Inn we stayed at this time??

Howdy all!

I'm actually fine with either, although my hubby is concerned about lake levels and all... :)

Lake Martin sounded wonderful... So I'm cool with that...

OR if we elect to go with Hartwell, that's just peachy, too!


But if you wanna twist my arm and make me decide.... What do you guys think about Ocoee??? Something new and different to explore??

EXPERTS OUT THERE - what do you guys know about Ocoee?


:cool:

speedbump......sorry for the delay, just got your message. And, as luck would have it we could not go this weekend because the wife had to work Saturday.

I will be NOW going up this weekend, but, from what my parents are still telling me its going down even more. In fact, I've not seen it go up at all this year.

Sorry to be a downer here, but, even when up there a month ago on the jetski (the other "white meat"), there are tree tops up way above the water all over the place, and, knowing that there have got to be some just below. I can snoop around this weekend at the state ramp (just over the border x1 in SC), the marina across the way, and some other ramps though.

I will pass on future trips this summer and will begin to boat again come fall (September-November). Now next year is a whole new ball game.:D

We're in regardless of where you guys decide to go. We don't draw that much water so I'll just follow Gig and watch for the mud and/or the sawdust :D . I've got to say Lake Martin was pretty nice---got to love the 30' leap of death off of Chimney Rock. Angie liked the flat water/ means WFO for me!!!! Although after she went riding in Rons boat, I'm now told that WILL be our next big purchase(26' canopied cat). That Martin trip just cost me a LOT!!!!:eek:

We would love to do Martin since we had to miss the trip. The pics looked great.

You guys are right........those pics of Lake Martin looked great.....and for Hartwell i dont know if i can get off the trailer. I dont draw much water at all with the surface drives, just need lots and lots of trailer room to float it...........

Lake Martin gets our vote.:cool:

Tom280? Slow One? AliRunner? LS-7??

Haven't heard from you guys. Also if any of you have can contact other members not on OSO that would be appreciated. I'll send an email to my email list but not sure how often folks read email sometimes....

Sorry it took so long! Trying to break in the new motor! WhoooHoooo!!!! No flashing engine lights!!!! Thats a good thing! I'm in for Lake Martin.

speedy--- count me and Tom 280 in to Lake Martin. Let us know when you block out some hotel rooms. Word on the street is Hartwell is really low. Tom 280 made a call to Mikehtm and said it was bad. See you at Martin or Lanier:D

.......and if you really were not sure. I found out today, starting now, they are going to lower the lake 1foot per week for the next 5 weeks.

Just a quick note from NY... I'll be going to Hartwell. The lake is deep and has plenty of water. Quit whinning!!

Gig! Shoot me some pictures of that new 35!

who is whining?? Think everyone just liked Martin and wants to go back. :D

A 35??? Hmmmmmm

Boy it's gonna be awful lonely on Hartwell in that big 35 when the rest of us are at Martin!!!

Hope you got the patriot graphics!:p

Should we be worried about...
 

divorce proceedings? :p Congrats dude, we need details man!!! Did you get a Lightning or Executioner? Graphics, power? Don't hold out on us!!! :confused: :confused: :D

Gig! That's a sweet looking rig. Those twin 575's should break the triple digits. Can't wait to take a ride! Man, I'm gonna have to get rid of my 225 and get the 280 to whip you! On a calm day of course!

Dude 101 on GPS!!! Yeah Baby. Divorce is ?????????

will be on Hartwell this weekend Gig
 

Wes with his 31 Formula is still putting in at Portman. Lake is now at 12.1' down. It was 11.2 two weeks ago.

Will miss the rest of you all but understand

Gig I want a ride:p

Mike - I thought you said it was "dangerous"????:confused:

we won't be traveling the whole lake. just staying in the deep areas and not going north of portman.
