What'cha think?
 

Sounds good to me!!!!

raft up
 

Count us in..I dont care where..I wouldn't mind either- both-would do great......neutral site...Lake Norman..Destin..Martin..

Keep us posted:D

I'd like that alot, especially since I've not made it to any trips this year....(King Weenie)......and to be extra selfish, my vote is Lanier (just because I hate to trailer this thing as its almost 10'wide).

I'd suggest Mary Alice park just because of the parking lot size, and its easy to access.

Pick a date! The calendar is getting way full this fall!

I vote Lanier

I probably don't get a vote since I don't know how to become an official member....is there someone to contact? If I had a vote....I'd vote Lanier (go figure) Barkley

Poor Poor Barkley
 

Barkley,

You are ..you just asked..see www.atlantapowerboat.com

We sold the Talon..new Warlock to arrive within a day or so..

Ron and Val......Lanier works for us..

My e-mail is [email protected]. Love to know when the next get together is..I will keep checking here as well. Barkley:)

next trip
 

Hey Barclay...sorry I missed ya today..got some good time on boat today..AWESOME ride..sure has potential as F1 material!!

I thought I saw your boat mid afternoon..

I spoke to Red Warlock this am..he thinks sometime in Oct. we will make a Tenn. river run..

We are going to try for a get together soon..think Lanier..
will wait for Seadated to advise..really great bunch of people, boaters, and families..

I see we have all fooled hpron sufficiently!

Shhhhhhhh...didnt want to scare Barclay....:p

Ok...
 

What about Sat. 10 to 5:cool:

Well...
 

Everyone asked for a date and time... 10/5/02 from 10am - 5 pm(thanks T.S.) What are ya waitin' for!?!?!:rolleyes: Or is everyone just too stuck up to answer? :p

10/5 is ok by me

It works for us..can we get Seadated's blessings:D

OK with me!!! :p

That sounds fine with me. Where do you all want to meet? With the water level down, I'm thinking Bald Ridge Marina or Vance Tavern would do fine.

Can't anybody make a decision around here! Lets go!!!!!

I'm in (for once).

I'd suggest Mary Alice, just because the parking lot is so large you wont have to worry about a spot. As for the Lanier level, it seems to (at a minimum) be about the same as it was about 3weeks ago. Still plenty safe.

In the Mary Alice cove area, just out from the beach which would be to your left from the ramps, out about 200yds is a marked area that is now just below the water. (but very easy to spot).



Bob

Dang indecisive people....hurry up!:rolleyes:

Where is Mary Alice and how do you get there??????

Where??
 

I am going to use the ramp at Big Creek or at Lanier Harbor..

It makes sense to me to use and put in on the side that is closest,we are only about 20 min. away...

We are off the 85/985 side..anyone coming from Altoona side should put in off 400...follow Kaamacat..if he is point ..he has to make it..even if it means he has to row..:D

We can meet ya guys..its only a quick run over there..

The bigger question is where to raft up..cocktail cove.. you better get some bigger bumpers..:eek:

Oh boy...realized I screwed up....might not be able to do 5th until I can switch a yard sale to the 6th.....either that or Chris may need to go without me.....would someone take care of him if I sent my child away without me???????:(

Leave Chris home to do it and you come with the kids..just kidding.we will help if ya need some.......:D :D

Re: Kaamacat, hpron
 

Hell Tom..level will be going up if we keep getting the rain..see my suggestion on where we will put in..

Unless the trailer has a flat (heck I stick truck the low/6x6 and drag it) I will make it.

Now.....On to Mary Alice.

FROM RT400 NORTH -> Get off at exit14 which is the Cumming exit. (it loops 180degrees around). Go LEFT. About 1/4mile after 2 lights, which is just after the Steak & Shake, another LEFT onto SANDERS RD. Just go straight. You'll stop at Buford Dam RD, keep going thru it. It will dead-end into MaryAlice park RD. Go RIGHT .........take it to the end where the park is. The ramps are immediately after the guard house.

FROM RT20/CANTON -> When Rt20 turns into one-way traffic you are in the middle of town, follow traffic in the RIGHT LANE which goes thru 2/3lights and makes a right (traffic keeps moving, so do you). Just as you pass the Auto store on the right and start to go uphill, a the very peak is MaryAlice Park rd on the LEFT. Take that to the very end. (TURNS WILL BE TIGHT THOUGH)

-or- PLANB (For those with a high deductable)

FROM RT20/CANTON -> When Rt20 turns into one-way traffic you are in the middle of town, follow traffic in the RIGHT LANE which goes thru 2/3lights and makes a right (traffic keeps moving). YOU GO STRAIGHT WHICH TAKES YOU TO RT400 IN 1MILE. GO SOUTH AND GET OFF AT EXIT14. Follow the same directions as RT400 above.

Bob stay in touch for this weekend..if it was like today..I will be out to put more time on motor

hpron. Sure will. Didnt get out tonight to bleed the rams, but doing a 1/2pm tomorrow afternoon to take care of it. I'd like to get out this weekend also.

ONE SIDE COMMENT ON THE LAUNCH RAMPS. Most of the ones (including Mary Alice) have no docks in the water if that is a must. There are some that do have them, I just dont know which ones. (Think I've heard VansTavern up on 369 does, and got to believe that Baldridge is ok also)



Bob

Thanks Ron! Trying to convince Chris to go without me and kids. I already made a committment to that date so I'm not going to back out.

Docks...I think most folks need a dock to board the person who drives the trailer...

Just talked to a freind and Vance Tavern dock IS still in the water. I will probably launch there or at Bald Ridge Marina. I'll know for sure as the water level changes after this rain. Because we will be using different ramps we need to pick a spot and time to meet on the lake. I say 10:30 right in front of the DAM. Surely everyone knows where that is! As far as the tie up location, I know several great spots in all aeras of the lake. I do like cocktail but hpron is right...you need bumper the size of 50 gallon drums. Speedy will be there...her other deal is handled.

Where's Lanier????:confused:

Yep - moved dates around so Chrissy Baby doesn't have to boat by himself!:D

Stryker...you remember Lanier...it's that big thing with water in it that's up 85 North....you know where BOATS GET PUT IN THE WATER!:rolleyes: Come on.....think you could talk that sweatheart gorgeous wife of yours into it?

Hey right!! Stryker go boating. That will be the day. :rolleyes:

In front ot the dam sounds like a great "Mr Obvious" place to start from......... :D

.........and your right on the docks, they are slim pickins on Lanier for sure. Seems like Vans and Baldrige are the two that always have water.

All I have left is fading memories and a piece of fiberglass in the basement. :(

You should sit in the driveway with the boat hooked to the hose, crank up some tunes, have a beer and pretend you're at the lake.......you could bounce around and pretend to hit wake waves and everything.....

If I go to that much trouble, I might as well just find a big pond to play in. So we MAY see ya'll.
