***Music City Mini 2012***

$200 worth of Keystone Light! Isn't that like 20 cases Paul?

Down here in Ga. that brand goes for $13 for a 30 pack of cans.Can't touch that in Salt Fork because I tried. See you in Nashville.

Any GA. members going on Thurs June 14 maybe we can set up a meeting place somewhere on 75 and convoy up.

I dont have any definite plans . I would like to get there before dark to set up the tent . Safety in numbers if there are any problems on the road.

Just checked the US Army Corps website for JPP Reservoir. Looks like the lake is already 3 feet below summer pool. Water temperature is 81° already though .

Its might be down 6 feet. Water temp didn't feel like low 80's,when I first jumped in last weekend.

Believe Mojo, Steve-O, Paul W, HW & Johnny are all at Hotel(s), you flyin in Joe??

Tom, what did the water feel like? Colder, warmer? We were at Dale Hollow last weekend and it felt excellent. Low 80°'s.

Hey Gang,

A little late, but it was great to meet yall at the Masters. Great tournament, with lousy tshirts! I missed most of yall as we were leaving. We had a great dinner with Morfoot and his girls. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in a few weeks.

We made the 1st trip to PP yesterday. Water is down ~3.5' which was actually better than I expected. It revealed some of the shallow areas that most might not realize (which are normally under water). If you read the banks, and watch for buoys, we should be ok. I've been marking up a map for guidance. If most of you are going out Fri morn, I may try to meet up at the campground that am.

The campground had a good ramp but limited trailer parking. There is a swimming area w ramp and ~50 parking spaces around the corner. Launch fees are included w camping. (Don't let adult beverages be seen at this area as the woman at the swimming area guardhouse was hard nosed). Beverages ok at campground. There was a grocery very close by if needed.

I checked out Luau Island. Rocky shores all around, but should be plenty of room for all of us even if other boats are present. You might want to bring 2 anchors if available.

I tried to be Mr. Helpful for the day, and towed in a 1st time boater with engine problems. Got him to the dock, but Mr. Moron here, proceded to chop an old ski rope and wrap it around the prop in the process. At least no chainsaw stitches! Hope Mr. Foot's leg is healed to get wet!

The water temp was very refreshing, in low 80's. My son wore his sleeves, but really weren't needed.

For those staying off-site, there are several ramps around. The marinas typically charge $5/day. I'll be glad to discuss by phone, etc any thoughts/options.

Also, the I-24 loop on the eastern side of Nashville will be closed from friday night to early morning. This causes you to loop around west of downtown. You may want to look at Hwy 155 (Briley Parkway) as a by-pass. This would affect only folks coming in the north on I-24 East, or I-65 South.

Looking forward tro meeting and seeing everyone. if you have questions, my direct email is: gsja7777@aol.com

Okay CCFans...Where's all the hype and where's the chatter?. This thing is only a week away and you can pratically hear a pin drop in here. I know I'm excited about this whole MMM and hanging out with y'all for the weekend. Looks like prettyinred is coming with me and possibly her eldest daughter who's 29 by the way. She's excited about her 2nd CCFan gathering and my knee will be ready for some serious skiing as I haven't been since River Run. Plan is to be there by at least 6 if not sooner on Thursday. Gotta talk to Jackie and Mike to see if we are gonna caravan up there. That would be awesome. Looking forward to seeing my midwest CCFan buds and popping a few beers and slalom runs with them. Get those boats all shined up as I we need some new shots for next years calendar. Georges---Get that lake filled up and chase the rain gods away for next weekend cause......The Correct Crafts are Coming!

Quinner, Maddie, Dana and I will be leaving after work Thursday night and driving through til we get there. Should be sleeping on the lake shortly after sun up.

Justin,
Bad Break dude...

Magic, glad to see you're coming come hell or "low" water..

Tim, loos like you have your hands full...

I know George was going to update us with maps and possible low spots we want to stay away from, but other than that we'll have a "redonkulous" time as Raindog would say...

we'll be pulling in sometime Thursday late afternoon as well..

George, being our local eyes and ears down there, can you please give us an update on water conditions and where you think we should still try and gather on the little island or head over to another island or sandbar for the safety of the boats and feet?


Also, I want to add to the event and put together a boat show of sorts on Friday night at the camp ground. During which we will ask for donations from each boat owner entered for the prizes. Boats will be parked on trailers and brought to the camp ground for judging. At the end of the evening the winners will be announced.

I'm ready for some warm water boys... The Water in GL is still a bit "Nipply" hahaha

Look forward to it..

Joe,

My boat has a nice bench seat in the front and back with satelite radio on easy listening will put you right to sleep.....only have two on my boat for the ride out.... but not sure about the watersports behind my old Tug.....pretty much a cruisin boat that's good for beer drinkin.....i could pull you skiing if you wanted?? or we could put about 6 people in the back seat and wake surf??.....it's not the SANTE that i would love to have(and will some day) but it works for now.

let me know if you need a ride? i've got room and plenty of beer....and if you find someone else to ride with NO WORRIES it won't hurt my feelings.
