Up here on the Ouachita around Monroe. The stops are still being determined as are the host establishment and the date. By car from Hammond it is 3 1/2 hrs (make adjustments for towing a boat). For my out of town friends, I'll probably get a host hotel with plenty of space for boat parking that's convenient to a boat ramp. There are no real navigation hazards to speak of nearby on this river, but there are a couple of wake zones. I'll have a pretty good map drawn up, so no worries there.

Again - still in the planning phase, so nothing definite, but I am contemplating a 100% payout for high hand, and donated items for 2nd, 3rd, and low hand. If everything goes right, only the cardstop sponsor money and any donations will go to the club. Working on a band for after the run, too.

AND - since it's a river, the water will be flat so you and JLay can make all the stops! LOL:drink:

WHAAAT? I'll have to get you in the apache in the lake with some 3-4's. I think we would be down for it. It's always cool to go to a new place. Having been shown around by the man himself (x-rated) i have to say it is a cool place to boat and not worry about cypress stumps and crab traps! We should get a group of us to go up there. I think a lot of guys from down here would be suprised how many "go-fast" boats are up that way.

P.S. Let us know if we need a permit to cross the mason-dixon line (alexandria)!

thinking about trying to get out on sunday and run a little bit...anybody else????

I'm planning to run around a bit but I will probably be in the Slidell area Phil's, The Dock, ???

we probably won't make it over, actually never been over there, maybe we should take the trip over and check it all out. have a ball to go to tonight so it won't be an early start for sure:lolhit:

Went down today for a while. Didn't do any riding but got a lot of little things cleaned up on the boat. Another 2 days of cleaning and the interior should be ready to go. :grinser010:

While I am not QUITE in the Tickfaw area (LOL) I am close enough to invite you guys to a poker run I am organizing to benefit my local rotary club. Trying to pick a date. Looking at the second week of June at the earliest to some time in July. Anyone interested or have any input on dates?

More info in a week or two.

Have anymore info? First I've heard anything about it. Nobody has even mentioned it around town.

Don't worry, you'll pass right by it on the way to Biloxi in a few months. :D

It's a great run, we usually try to get over there a couple of times a summer.

didn't go out in the lake..was a little to rough for Patti...I would have liked to run a little while and get some more seat time in the rough though...she just doesn't care for airing the boat out at all...:lolhit: she said "GET A CRUISER!!!!":eek:

We did not see any other boat's out in the lake on the east side (guess it's just a little too early). It was still nice to get out on the water though.

definitely a nice day out. had a few other boats around but most stayed in the river. still a little early over here to make many stops though..come on summer!!!
