Joe, we'll be staying at the Embassy Suites Nashville Airport(not really not at the airport and just 10 minutes from the campsites.) If you need to be p/u at the airport, I'll need help putting the boat in the water as I do not yet trust the girlfriend.

Easy fix, just have her fly in and out of Nashville. It's 10 min from the lake. No more excuses, just jump on the train. Nowhere are you going to see a better collection of Old and New CC's and meet some of the great people that have made these reunions what they are today....

Just-do-it...

I'm figuring about $100 for truck and boat Gas if I come, God willing. I think I will be getting by cheap if I can do that. Gas is supposed to be $4.25/gallon by late April and drop to $3.50 by the end of the year. That will be good news but I don't ski in December. I only live two hours south of the lake so its an easy drive.

Everything thing I own is old including the truck I will be hauling my boat with which I bought new in 1989.

I'm in as of this point, but anything could happen as you all know.

If you can make it to the DFdub, you can ride with.

we will see. dont count me out though. I can say. there would be no way i would go with out the boat in tow.

Wish i Could make this. It will probably be the closest get together to houston. 13 hours is a long way though.

I asked him and he confirmed it's the boat's third screen. This one was taken from some other runabout and fit the width so it was used. It was an OEM on some other make back in the day.. First two were damaged and replaced..

Just for viewing pleasure, I invited Mr. Ham Wallace to bring this beautiful origianl owner first generation SN to visit us on PPL, and while the boat resides in Bama, he's thinking of bringing it back up to Nashville for the gathering.. Would be cool to see, especially is that windshield was an OEM piece..

I would say ya'll can put me down as coming. We just don't know the details and we have no camping gear. Would probably stay a a hotel nearby. My resident expert who helps me all the time is considering coming as well. He is not Pete but I would put his knowledge of CC's up with just about anyone. He said he would love to spend the day discussing boats while I take notes..lol

When is everyone getting there or did I miss that info? I get off work at 7:45 friday morning and would have to plan the trip based on me sleeping sometime friday. I may have to take vacation thursday night if the focus is on friday.

It's a long way off. Things will work out.

I don't have a problem counting as long as it is in increments of six. For some reason I keep losing my count after 24..So I start over.

well there are some online photo resizing applications but you can just use microsoft paint. Got to the image dropdown and select stretch/skew. Then in stretch type in 50% in horiz and vert and then save. That will probably do it. Or just pick different values until you get a acceptable file size

I think they should be lined up alphabetically, by length with disregard to color.

Percy Priest is my home lake and i'm very familier with the water. I'll be staying at the house so will miss the campground party, but if anyone needs any input, I'll be glad to assist. Looking forward tro meeting yall on Priest.
