Yea, its a long way to tow, thats one of my reasons for finding someone to split gas. I didn't think about camping at the park, thats a good idea too. I think I am gonna bring my boat no matter what, its kinda the point to me. I am also planning on driving up Friday morning or Thursday night if I camp. Its about a 4-5hr trip for me.

Some people are showing up on Thursday. I'm working on a deal with a RV company to see if we could get some deals on them bringing in and setting up some large trailers to rent for the weekend at the campsite right on the water. If anyone wants to fly in or come in early you're more than welcome to stay at the house. I plan on staying at the campsite / RV park. It has WIFI, laundry, security, electric, and a store. There are always hotels nearby. I think I posted some earlier in this post. |

You bet. It's nice, with a store, golf course, disc golf course, soccer and softball fields, not to metion the lake right next to it. It also has a nice laundry facility and a pavilian with parking for the boats.

skicat2001, do you want to split a camp site. I am sure they are big enough for two tents, and they give a maximum occupancy of 6 per site. |

From the camp map and google map images it looks like it is on the west side near the boat ramps. The lady on the phone said it is one of the better tent sites, and from what I can see on google it seems I would be able to see the boat ramp parking lot from the site.

If it is the spot I'm thinking of it's nice. Good shade during the hot part of the day, tables, grill, and you can mooch my electric and water if needed. Nice view too, always fun to sit and watch some weekend warriors load ther boats too.

Ryan, I believe I am gonna be able to make it. I'd definitely be interested in renting an RV if you can have them set em up. Let me know if they are willing to do it and the prices. I will probably be there around noon on Friday.
If we can't get the RV's I'll probably stay in a nearby hotel. If that's the case, I'm worried about keeping my boat at the hotel overnight. Any solutions for boat storage? Boat Dr. if your going, we can caravan. I live in Pineville. I plan on leaving Friday morning. Ryan, thanks for the hard work setting the event up. Can I ask one more thing of you, can you post a map of the lake showing where the cove is that we will be hanging out at? And show any places to avoid, stumps etc. |

I'll have some maps of the lake to keep with you when you guys get there. You could also look online. The camp area is secure, in fact they lock the gate @ 11:00 PM. If you stay in a hotel, you could still leave the boat there with the rest of ours. As far as were we will be at on the lake depends on wind direction / water conditions. There are several spots to choose from which is nice.

Here is a link for some camper /R.V. retals that are nearby.This would allow someone to stay at the campsight with a.c and showers for kids and the ladies.

To make it one of the official CCF reunions would mean addditonal time spent between organizing the others and work on the websight. In addition trying to devote time to work, a new house, and a family. He supports us from behind the scenes and does what he can.

Also IMO, until we show the organization and the crowd interest we are still in the "gathering" category. Kudos goes to Ryan "SN2906'. For such young event he is pulling some major sponsors. I hope I can devote more time to help him. We just need to keep working towards making this event into a regular event. Let's keep the excitement and perseverance going.

I meant "SN206" is kind of hard typing while having a beer at the bar. Ryan, want to have a beer at Hooters in Grapevine next week? Also, I think we need to show that this is a family event and not a crazy Lewisville party cove style event. Then again, these are just my thoughts.

Anthony, I'm always down for beers. I may be working in Oklahoma after this weekend, but I'll try. I think Kirk is working on the flyer, maybe you could post some around the local hot spots. We had a pretty good family turn out last year and I would like for it to stay that way. After hours are always up to whomever.

Thanks for the info, just curious. And I completly understand the whole time devotion thing. I can barely devote enough time to keep my boat up and be able to ride once and a while. Also I appreciate everything you are doing ryan, if you need any help let me know. What are we up to now on committed people/boats/sponsors? I think between myself and bradtm16(old college buddy) we are bringing 2 boats, and 4-6 people.

Campground
I would like to organize a cookout / social event there Saturday night. However, like the St. John's River run, which went flawless, I don't want anyone feeling tied down or commeted to any plan. As the "The Doc" once said, "The plan is, there is no plan". |

I'll be at R.V. spot #84, which is going to be right by you guys, but also within eyesight of the boat parking area. Let's start getting ideas for a cook out for Saturday night. |
