Are you looking for baja gatherings or just something to do different? We have the hydroplane races in Evansville.

Just any gatherings Races, Poke Runs, or just good times and places to have fun and have a few drinks of course. I havent been to a race or poker run and gonna start going. I'm going to be buying a Nordic Heat soon and will be planning to stay over night a bunch since it has more room than my 232.

We go to Lake Monroe (Bloomington) a few times a year. We also go to Cumberland a few times.

We went to the hydroplane races this year.... pretty ****ty time too. The friggin aqua-pigs wouldn't let us anchor where we could actually see any racing and then they sit and watch everybody just waiting to see a beer can so they can get the ticket book out.... it didn't help it was freezing out too!

And to top it off, we got stuck pulling some broke dick back to Dogtown at 2 mph while everyone came flying by at 60+

Even tho it sucked.... I'll probably go back and watch again next year. There isn't much to do around here on the water, so I guess I should support anything they do have.

This is the first time in 10-15 years we have missed the race. We did hear they pushed everyone back some for safetly. As for the drinking...they pretty much leave you alone unless you are just totally stupid about it and being a complete idiot.

Two other things, there is a big party called Ski Day. Check it out at www.skidayontheohio.com Also, one of the local boat clubs also put on a small poker run that is ok. It ends with a band on the dock at their club and eveyone anchored out to listen.

I went to Ski Day.... but man that beach was nothing but rocks! We floated around and then left....

When is the poker run? I've heard about it, but I guess I've never seen it advertised or I don't know where to look...lol

I went to Monroe a few times last year but mainly go to Racoon or after work during the week Cataract since I only live 5 miles from the lake. I hit Cumberland or Dale Hollow a few times also. I was hoping that someone puts events on at Monroe but really never heard of them.
