Ct mini

Is there a ct. mini this year

Thanks for keeping it going Larry. I am off to Maine Thursday for long weekend. I recall some wedding stuff coming up for you but perhaps you can sneak away the weekend after next......

Welcome Pat
Let's take this to the Badin Lake Mini thread. But the quick answer is there's typically varying ages and Models at these events.
Hope you make the trip

Welcome Pat. Boats From the 50s to current show up. It leans more toward vintage than modern tho, with the 60s, 70s and 80s probably the most common, and of those probably the 80s most common. Go to the reunions threads and scroll through the pictures and you will get the flavor of what shows up. Your 64 would fit right in. North Carolina isn't that long a haul from PA. These events are a great combination of cool old boats, a few modern boats, some don't take ourselves too seriously water sports and great folks.

PS: Are you sure it's a 64? Didn't think mustangs came out until 65 and they don't show up in brochures until 66

That lake has a 45mph speed limit, and is therefore dead to me!

Geez mark of course you wouldn't have a problem.... on a more serious note - get one other person to agree on a date and run with it - at this point in the year its unlikely to produce more than a mini mini but even that will be useful in determining interest in future festivities.

Yikes, 2 different threads on little Lake Zoar in the same day!

DON'T DRINK THE WATER!

First date to throw out - August 22. Let's see how many people we can get who are avail for this date.

Who's in? The sandbar has a couple of picnic tables where you can put a grill. It's also pretty shallow so a grill with legs like a Weber charcoal grill would work. And it has a full Weber gas grill bolted to them that you can cook on if you bring a propane tank.

You Yanks are a crazy bunch but so are the rebel rednecks. I like that date as a possibility. One day only as I read it. My oldie might cooperate and then again it might not, if it does I would bring it for my ride.

One week out from the bucket, might work for us.

8/22 doesn't work for me as I have to work, although I may be able to come by later in the day. I am in Newtown and have most of the week before off, so if anyone comes up earlier in the week I should be around. Zoar is a great place to ski and weekdays I don't think I have ever seen the police out there. Kettletown is a nice State campground. We have camped in the past, there is an area where you can anchor your boat.

Looks like we'll have some people coming out. Looks like a good date.

August 22
Lake Zoar
9:00 am ish - whenever
Exit 14 off of I-84 (If you're driving east take a right off of the ramp, west - take a left then follow signs to ramp)

Once in the water, take a right (standing on the ramp facing the water) and go around the bend, you will see the sandbar, it's marked with buoys - a first for this year. It was fun watching people come flying up the lake and getting grounded, with the buoys that's probably over.

This is a one day event however if you are coming from far away, there is camping at Kettletown state park. There is also a hotel off of exit 16; Crown Plaza. There is another off of exit; 15 Heritage Hotel and Conf Center,

The sandbar is shallow. You could bring a pop-up canopy for shade. There are two picnic tables with a grill. It's pretty crowded on the weekend so if you want to grill, it would probably be a good idea to bring your own. People also bring chairs to set up in the water. And there is a vollyball net.

The lake gets pretty crowded on the weekend so if you want to ski or foot (or wakeboard) early or later is best. Although with 10 miles of lake, you could always find good water, you just need to avoid the yahoos.

There is also a course set up for those that might want to ski a course. It is privately owned but it is on a public lake so anyone can use it.
