Well, back by popular demand and numerous questions about it, we decided to do it again. The 2nd Annual Southwest Reunion will again be hosted on Lake Lewisville (Dallas, TX) this 2010. This year’s promises to be a lot bigger and better with what's looking to be a far larger turn out already with as many inquiries that I have already had. Of course Buxton Marine is on board again to help out as well. Last years event was a lot of fun and this year's looks to take it up a notch or two. Many details will follow concerning lodging and events. So if you like warm water, hot babes, cold beverages, and cool boats, plan on coming to the Big "D" June 10th thru the 13th!

If I were not already committed, I would come down to join in with this.
Sounds like a really great time. Maybe I can be there for the 3rd. |

Up to the minute lake information
Lake Lewisville is located minutes north from Dallas/Fort Worth and is just off of I-35. It will be easily reached as there are many major highway arteries that will lead you there. There is an abundance of camping/RV locations as well as many restaurants, bars, and hotels. Local venues include Texas Ranger baseball, Six Flags, horse racing, and shopping for the land-lovers. Lake Lewisville Party Cove will entertain us. There are two big restaurants, Sneaky Petes(Tons of fun last year!) and "Charlies". The lake is fairly big. Maps of campgrounds and ramps are available. Sneaky Pete's could easily host a days/nights worth and would seem like and ideal location. It has plenty of dock space, two pools, 12 bars, 4 sand court volleyball courts, a restaurant, and a separate reception room w/ private access. Public Marinas Name Location Phone Number Eagle Point Lewisville 972-436-6561 Lakeview Lake Dallas 940-321-2675 Cottonwood Creek Little Elm 972-292-1100 Pier 121 Lewisville 972-625-2233 Camping reservations can again be made at www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The campground has electrical and water hook-ups for those with R.V.'s or trailers. That is were I stayed last year and was very impressed. It also has wi-fi and a nice laundrey facility. It is a "stones throw" away from the lake and golf course. |

I just wanted to comment what side of the lake you guys going to be on. I grew up on that lake, it the "Most" Dangerous lake in TX. nO 20FT Nautique's need to be on that lake. Lake Lewisville will be "infested"of them Cigarette boats doing 80mph. Saftey first...

We had two great spots (Wakeboard Cove) and a spot northwest of the bridge that we had to ourselves. We never saw any fast boats. We'll put in over by Buxton's.

Ryan, you know you count on me. I am anyways on that lake during the weekend. Let's have a meeting and start planning the logistic. Boat Dr. last year gave me a couple of ideas. Like setting a base camp where everybody meets. Anyways, let's meet for beer or something. Hey, maybe I can get my shirt from last year. I never went to Buxton to pick it up.
About the dangerous stuff things have change because of that. The game warden are all over the place specially in the "cove". With the type of boats we have we can't stay too long in the open areas where they usually open up. So far I have only seen a few of these cigarette boats. Nowadays I think big cruisers and WB boat are the most of them. Another tip is that if you are driving at night stay in middle and don't get close to the stumps, north side. Usually I hang out with friends till late. I have seen one accident around 3am. I think it would have been avoided with a little bit common sense, lights and don't park in the middle of the cove by yourself. Nobody was hurt, just the pride of the owner. |

Ok, now that I'm back from St. John's and can focus more time and energy towards this event, I was hoping I could get some ideeas on who would like to attend and maybe how many in there group. We were going to do T-shirts again this year, but I also thout about doing visors or hat as well. Any thoughts? I encourage as many of you to come as possible, boat or no-boat. I was just trying to get a figure on the number of hats and shirts to order.

Glad to see some chatter. I'm sorry I have not been updating often. I've been away from home working since I got back from St. John's and have not been able to do as much leg work as I want to. I'm hoping some of the Okie boys plan on coming down. I'd really like to see the new v-drive and some new interior work that they have been working on. There is a lake right across from the rig though! I whonder if I'd get in trouble if I brought the boat out here?

So I am assuming there is going to be some action at Sneaky Pete's for this?
We may be working on a new boat purchase in the next few months if I can talk the wife into it(and selling our 06 210), so don't hold me to the description of the boat above :) |
