2008 Northeast Reunion Recap

Did not know that or I would have gave her a ride on reidp Miss River Queen boat...

I have some great pic's to post later..

Again WELCOME!!!!!!!!

Hey Raindog...did you ever get the measurements for your trailer? If you need any assistance with that do not hesitate to ask.

So Steve, you can get them to build up a trailer then head back this way Columbus day weekend and spend some time in the area while Reidp and Fly'n Bryan are back and I am working to get a crew together for?

Our doors are always open for a CCF in NH. We are having a big slow cooker party on Sunday of Columbus Day. The more the merrier! The Margarita's are flowing and the food and fun are abundant!

I think so, I am trying to get some hardy souls to camp out on an island with me. Fly'n Bryan was talking about staying up a bit farther north, almost across from log bay. Possibly there are more convienient sites for future reunions. Bryan worked at a marina in that area (Bolton I think) 3 summers and he seemed to think it might work out even better. I didnt get to see nearly enough of the lake so I would like to camp up in the narrows island chain and get more of the north country in. Columbus day is the last state campground day of the year, we usually camp that weekend it can be cold but its generally doable. So yeah a little late season boating, leaves changing in the mountains, maybe a few pulls on Bryan's air chair behind my weighted down 83 etc etc.

I hear you about it being cold camping in Oct, Joe. No plans for that weekend yet, so Ill keep it in mind. Like Steve, I dont get Mon off, though.

Putting something together for this winter is another great idea, as I bet several of us 2-plankers would love to meet up as well.

This is another thread but I was thinking of organizing a CCF weekend this winter either in NY or ME.

I have a house in the triangle of ski mountains of lower VT. 15 min from all of them. Okemo, Stratton, Bromley. I dont snow ski that much anymore but I do go snowmobiling. I rode 2500 miles this past winter. I only have 2 sleds though. Our house can handle like 10 or so people.
This is one of my trips up in northern VT.



so we will see, but lets stop talking about winter. we still have some boating to do.

    Ahhh,a man after my own heart.I do get some snowboarding in, too.I'd be up for a get-together.Winter it's easier for me to get away from the shop.

   BarracudaChick,

A couple more fun pictures from Lake George.

Bruce and others -
No need to email full resolution photos. Keith has the FTP portion of the site where we can dump big pic files and download the ones we want. It is easy to do as well. Just drag and drop.

Keith, would you set up a NE 09 folder?

Yes, the snow sports are something we northerners can brag about to our southern members. As long as you don't TUBE on the snow!!!

Keith did a great job and the attention to detail made the event a total success...key chains, t-shirts, name badges, agenda, awards...etc., etc. Organizing an event like this takes so much time and effort, let alone organizing multiple events throughout the season! Great job everyone. I am so glad we were able to participate. We are looking forward to the next gathering to zip around in our boats with the group. Great meeting you all!

Barracuda Chick, we didn't meet, but I sure admired you tooling around in that Barracuda. Your husband's SN is nice, too, but that Barracuda's my favorite.

I'm still in awe about what a great group of people there were over there. Not only our group, where everyone was so friendly and nice, but the people at the hotel, A Marine, the pub and everywhere else. We went out in the boats early Sat AM and ended up in Harris Bay for barefooting. We didn't get back until after Noon. I was supposed to check out in the morning. I walked into the office at Marine Village expecting to be given a hard time or charged for a 2nd day and all I got was friendlyness and "no problem". A lot different then what you usually get here in Maine.

And JoeNY said no one was left on the dock. He's right. Dave, Tom and I were boatless and had numerous offers. Thanks to Keith, Brad, Tim, Larry, Jeff and everyone else that offered or took us out.

Quinner, you can thank me now from protecting you at the PIZZA PARTY!!!!!

They wanted to make you look like Barbie when you fell asleep...(hehe)...

What a great time we had!!!!!!
