A few years ago, my in-laws and my family rented a 62-foot houseboat on Dale Hollow for a week. Had a ball. House boats are popular there. Our 62 footer was small compared to the 72 "Big Foot" models some folks had rented. Great Lake, lots of coves. Was in the summer but after the southern kids had gone back to school so it was real quiet. The only thing missing was that I didn't haul a boat down to ski with. Otherwise, a great time.

That was oct 18-20 that your down here Kevin? I should be back from IN by then I'm going up the first couple of weeks to see the boy's football game and for his b-day.

Great pics, skicat. That water is glass!

Although there is more than ample time to plan any location, Like Alan has mentioned, the only reason Green Lake was started is because there are a ton of upper Midwest CC owners whom decided to put together a reunion (thanks again Stang). Most attendees were from Ill and IN. Green was chosen again because of many reasons. But is was not out of reach for the guys whom were originally thinking of going... At least that was the idea of the get together.

In helping plan this thing, we could tell you there is no ideal place to have a reunion where everybody is going to come, towing their rigs no less. For this same reason CC themselves only holds a few reunions a year in what they consider stategic spots. People either attend, or they don't.

As been suggested before, members of the board, or Keith himself may only want to attend certain get togethers, but strong groups of CC owners from geograhic areas should form their own reunions. This way, you maximize the turn out for that area. In GL we were missing 8 or so boats from Wisc alone, and it was in their backyards. You would certainly loose most of these guys by holding the same reunion down in KY or TN etc.... It's just to far for some families to travel for a weekend, and the point of these reunions, in my humble opinion, is to bring your CC's!!! The reunions will grow if held in the same basic areas each year as the word get's out. As successful Green was, moving it from the area just means different people will attend..

Just some food for thought as all your brains are being racked trying to find the ultimate spot... We certainly all want to get together and meet the great bunch of people from this board, but I do believe your response and turn outs will always be regional except for a few die hards....

OR,,,,,,,,,, Only have one reunion a year in Kansas City (home of the "teacher's Pet" band) !!!! That's almost right in the middle of the country....

Rock on Guys ....

is the boat dr. the only CC owner that lives in the deep south? i am game for some type of reunion, but the east coast is a long haul from La.south Fa. ain't to far to hook up with fellow owners. we have to stop sking here in late Nov. or Dec. water stays warm till then.A central location for all to enjoy.Water is not supposed to get HARD,ice is for tea...

Great guys, back to the start of the thread. When and where is the next reunion that is closest to southeast Virginia. Mojoman is correct in that most of us won't/can't make it to far on a weekend. Maybe have "state" reunions kinda like Harley Owners Group does. Virginia has several large lakes in the central region Lake Anna, Smith Mtn. Ofcourse it could be the Virginias or the Carolinas if one state does not have enough support. Hey I have never been to one so I don't know the way they work but I am willing to get something started....

dave and Al I wasn't trying to high jack the GL gig by any means I was really throwing it out there as additional get together where some of the regulars that are on here might be able to attend and maybe have a bigger turnout and you would not have to worry about the water and everyone could have plenty of time to ski anytime of the day.

Hey, we're all thinking the right way, right 79? These reunions are exciting and I think everyone wants in. Logistically, it does need to make sense. If people from other parts of the US or outside the US want to attend, they'll make those arrangements. I'm still trying to get a hold of Aerosmith .
