Just wanted to say thank y"all for today - Tom, Carol, and I had a great time meeting everyone, eating, and going for a boat ride (despite the rain). Next year we need to get there earlier and spend more time on the water. Hope you get some glass-like conditions tomorrow for footing, slalom, or whatever. Take care and safe travels. Frank

Awesome time as usual with great folks and great boats.
Here are a few videos of me and Scott making double runs. EDIT- here are a few videos of me crashing violently while Scott skis. The pickup here is a bit hot Then we started on a curve and I stood up way too soon (bet you guys never thought I would say that) Just a mess Finally some success Can't wait to do it again. Hope to see you all soon. |

Special thanks to Greg, Sue and Buddy for once again hosting a great event. Natalie and I had a blast. It was also great to get to know more folks from the site.

Here is a photo from Friday. The weather was 86 and sunny with the water temp in the upper 70's. It was a great day to be on the water with some CCFAN. Half of Badin Lake is in the National Forest and it is just beautiful. |

These photo's are from Saturday mid day. You can see JoeinNY taking a run in the air chair. There is Greg's 206 coming back in from making some barefoot runs. You can see Quinner and JBear there on the back of Scott's beautiful Barefoot boat. You can also see Steve's and Val's Barefoot Vee Drive Big Block boat. Tim is sitting in his beautiful green Mustang and Sara is in her Gold Skier with her Wedding Motor running at 100%. Some get China for a wedding, CCFANers get a newly assembled motor with performance upgrades. ![]() |

This was Sunday, and Joe trick skiing behind his bad to bone sounding Wildcat with Sara at the wheel. This boat has a cool forward swivel (Push Out) Windshield. |

Great time as always!
Sue is a terrific host (when Greg gets out of her way).... and is amazing how she tolerates the influx of people, boats, and dogs (and all that goes with each of them). It is a great time skiing together when the sun is out and hanging together during the liquid sunshine. Meeting newbies and longtime CCFAN.com lurkers adds to the fun. Terrific meeting Frank, Carol and Tom and we hope to see you at more reunions........take out the Barefooter whenever you want! ![]() The barefooters had strength in numbers but we also had trick and slalom runs, Air Chair and even Val on the wakeboard....... good food, good drinks, carb clinics and college football! |

Great photos and video gang, Sure looks like it was a great time and we sure missed not seeing everyone. One of these days the stars will align and we will make it back down there.

What a great weekend. Thanks to Greg and Sue for being the awesome hosts they are. It was good to meet many new friends...many of whom I have read posts from for years. A special thanks to Zach and Tim for helping Jesse and me switch out our carb and gas line to an original Holley (thanks Jerry!) and listen to a couple (of hundred) questions.

Chicago boys home safe and sound. I roughly figured we have about 30-32hrs of traveling to get there and back. Hands down one of the best gatherings I've been able to attend and worth all that traveling. Everyone comments on Greg and Sue's hospitality, it was truly top notch. Thank you to all for making us feel welcomed.

My truck pulled in Running on Fumes at about 10:40. Had a great time at Greg and Sue's we can't say it enough about how awesome it is for them to open up their home to us . we had great weather for the most part, or at least great water for skiing. Had a lot of great food, and some great conversations. Hope to see you all again real soon!

not sure where Cousin Donald got this report..... It was a 12 hour drive from Central Florida....and worth every single turn of the wheel. Beautiful setting. Incredable hosts. Great crowd of C/CFans. Awesome food. I have a number of pictures but cant figure out how to get them off the phone and on here. Guess I will have to bother Larry Hineline again for help. somehow I missed gun-driver.... john |

I will need to try the pictures from a desktop later this week.
So by my count I have come up with names of 39 human attendees and 4 canine attendees. A solid turnout for sure. Where are Morfoot’s pictures? |

Great weekend! It was nice to put some faces with names.
Greg and Sue go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. Many thanks. Hope everyone made it home without issue. We managed to take CQ all the way back to Chicago. Joel even gave his cooler back. Sorry to those that had to hear the buzzsaw! |

Morfoot has been playing for 4 days with his ski buds so he's back at work, playing catchup round the house, laundry and hasn't had a chance to find a photobucket replacement. Finally looked at the pictures this morning and there are some good ones. Patience is a Virtue!!!! Thanks to all for yet another great weekend with the best Ski/Boat Buds & Babes there is. Greg and Susan thanks for opening your home to this bunch of CCFans and putting up with us for a few days. The garage is a nice quiet place to crash except for the Air compressor that kicks on at 3 am and the smell of a Carburator rebuild in your bedroom. Was another epic Mini despite Rain again and March is a long time to wait until the CCFamily gets together again. |
