Riley, I believe it will be the same weekend as last year. Many of the folks that attended went ahead and booked the cabins for next year while they were at the event this year. Donald |

I was wondering who was gonna fire the first shot on this and never woulda thought it was gonna be you Bruce.  I had my $$$ on Sweet!Mark it on your calendar for March 22-24 but MANY will be there starting the 21st (or earlier) and leave on 25th. Many lessons have been learned by not getting there early enough and leaving too soon. I for one will leave early Thursday morning and come back Mon. Trust me on this one, and I have PLENTY of regular SJRR attendees to back me up on it. You won't regret it! I imagine it will be very much like last years River Run with the only planned events are a Fri Night catered dinner at Parramores, a River Run south to Hontoon Island, and the cookout on Saturday with ALL attendees contributing something to feed the small army of CCFans in attendance. Another visit from Mr. Ralph I'm sure but anything else is up to those there. Skiing, boating, trip to the Sunnyland Boat show, Monkey Run,runs out to Lake George, The Silver Glen Springs, whatever Fans wanna do. In keeping with SJRR tradition " The Plan is .......there is NO Plan" well..... for the most part. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Karen and I will try hard to exceed last years calender of events..This event has become "the CCFan gathering" thanks to all the fans that help us put this event at the top of the MUST DO EVENTS. Mr. Ralph will speak again, always a treat.Special guests this year will be posted later, come early and plan to stay longer.........Billy/Karen ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Bruce, Parramores probably doesn't know much but if you ask them whats available that weekend your pickens will probably be slim. Laurie is usually in the know of what's going on and like Billy stated earlier; Details will be posted here within the next couple of months. In my conversations with Bill Yeargin he said that he would like to be able to spend more time with the CCFans then just a Friday Night Dinner. Maybe we can get him to come up a little earlier and show us a wakeskate trick or to behind an old CC. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

I would call her back and confirm. Laurie is on vacation, can't remember who I just talked to but glad I called when I did. Billy & Karen stay in Alligator. Beaver Lodge is right next door and overlooks the river. Nice place with a big porch right over the water - we stayed in it last year but with a little one this year I don't think it will be ideal so we are staying off water. ------------- '02 Ski Nautique 196 w/ 5.7 Apex bowtie - Sold '87 Barefoot - sold '97 Super Sport Nautique - originally custom built for Walt Meloon '97 Ski Nautique '83 SN 2001 |

I know. It is nice to be able to escape back to the clean cozy cabin to snuggle with Don Tilley (and his dad). When are you guys planning on arriving? I haven't booked airfare yet, so I left the option open. I thought it would be better to go ahead and book a cabin just in case anyway. There are usually people looking at the last minute. They're sure not cheap though. |

John, You sure do kiss and tell.  Hopefully, they will have a good a cold winter to kill all of the German Cock Roaches in that cabin.  I do think my dad ( 75) did find the Glenn Springs too shocking and I do not think he will be joining me for the 2013 run. He did not understand the music. He kept asking me, what is that. I kept telling him that is music. It was that electronic club dance music. He wanted Glenn Miller. Donald |

Missed out on this conversation...we're open to whatever as long as Halston brings the right ammo for Water Moccasins this year! Depending on schedules, we may end up with a boat of our own although it might not be a Correct Craft. I told dad about the wood boat run and he's been talking about taking his Chris Craft down and hooking up with us CCFolk when they pass through. Haven't talked with the three stooges tho (reid, Tim & Joe) ------------- |

I did not see any snakes while I was down there... which is good, because theres only one kind of snake I like (a dead snake). Havent talked to anyone yet either, but if I make it back down this year, staying in that house again would be my (strong) preference. ------------- |

If I remember right, it was hanging out under Bigwavedave's boat at the campground. I'd never seen one in person but Halston was sure it was a WM. It swam away right as the grounds keeper walked up with a shovel.

Why wouldn't you stay at HQ? |
Posted By: JoeinNY
Date Posted: September-12-2012 at 2:20pm
Isn’t a darn thing wrong with HQ, in fact if you are going down for the weekend of the reunion it is pretty silly to stay anywhere else. Good food onsite, launch and docking on site, easiest way to coordinate/meet up with your fellow fans, stumbling distance to your bed at night.. etc etc. But, if you are going to head down for a full week of fierce footing mornings/lazy days/hazy afternoons on the river then the pool table, ping pong table, big screen tv, two full baths, wifi, kegerator, kitchen, back yard boat parking, and hot tub of the river house don’t hurt (especially if you are trying to convince the young ladies this is a full fledged florida vacation and not simply a man/boat festival). Chris/Tim/John,etc we should discuss and coordinate Columbus day weekend.. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Honestly, Donald probably spent more time in the cabin since his dad was down last year. I stayed in the same cabin and didn't notice any. I didn't actually do much in the cabin but sleep. I'll bet coming in after 2:00am with a slightly better buzz may have done the trick. The cabins are fine. They're not cheap, but they are better than a tent for my tastes. |

Donald, as being a long time user of Parramores, I have never had a bug or snake problem.Maybe Karen keeps our cabin cleaner, But there again this is a "camp" ground in the middle of the nowhere .. There are few 4 star hotels close to Astor. Maybe a little less or a little more "apple pie" will fix your minor bug problem...........Mom and the kids will keep you too busy for a bug report....Billy ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

I'm just trying to start something with Quinner, he's been threatening to get a foil for a while now, but can't seem to get off his wallet and pull the trigger. I'll probably bring a few for people to try and maybe even someone who can ride one. |

Well in that case I can report that Chris "Quinner" has now physically acquired a sit down hydrofoil or at least that it was in the back of Chris Mar's truck heading his way last time I saw it. Not one that I would ever strap myself to without someone doing some serious work to it first.. but then again Chris has been known to ride a few things I wouldn't... Be awefully nice if he could make the river run though... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

And yes Don, picked up an Air Chair for $150 out in CT, Tim has been holding it (probably literally as well) for the past several months.

Absolutely worth the trip! For anyone thinking of making this year's river run please don't let the talk of gators, snakes and large bugs scare you off! Just part of being in the south just like dealing with Quinner when you visit the north! We had a running "gator count" last year and came close to several when skiing/boarding but they seemed to be more scared of us! That's my official endorsement for the event. Billy, Karen and all others on the planning side do a great job of making sure everyone has a great time. Only advice I would give is to make the trip last as long as possible and keep the car keys on the shore! ------------- |

gonna be hard to not say shoot it! shoot it! when i see one.. been watching to much swamp people . Seeing all the gators will freak me out at first but ill get over it... probably go chase one down in the nautique just to get a good look at one. I take it found out to leave the keys behind the hard way? For the meet, is there a registration to sign up with? fees? anything besides renting a place and towing the ole boat down? A friend of mine wants to come down as well, idk if he wants to bring his boat or not he has a 2011 230 sante. ------------- "It's just water... not concrete or dirt... so just throw it" -Parks Bonifay 1979 Ski Nautique - (stringer job completed summer 2012) 2007 236 Team - All White! |

If you read the SJRR 2012 toward the end and read fanofccfan's post you'll get the whole story about leaving keys on the shore.
Registration will be whenever you get there or Friday night before the catered dinner at the campground and usually includes a SJRR T-shirt and other goodies we organizers can come up with. Fee's will be determined after the boat dr and boat nurse get a price on the t-shirts and the cost of dinner on Fri and other things. Book a place and thats all you need. IF there are empty slips available you can rent a slip for $5 a night( some are pretty tight)and leave the boat in the water. IF not there is VERY limited open air slips and if all else fails but it back on the trailer. All you will need for Sat is to bring whatever you signed up to bring as we fans take care of dinner ourselves on Sat. " Bring what you Brought" and we'll all feast on food from across the country. By all means Bring your buddy and his boat or if not then he has yours to ride around in or many others that will be there. Either way its ALL GOOD! The first timers always come back for more! ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski. He can wakeboard.He can cook chicken.He can create his own self-named beverage, & can also apparently fly.

Take the advice about keys left on the shore. It will save y'all a couple hundies! Still had a great time though. Thanks storm and morfoot. I needed a good laugh tonight.

Hey now, I completely stripped my SS before I sold it, and still no keys!! I'm betting that they are on the bottom of the Glen. Hope you can make it down again this year Bill.

Just make sure your boat is up to the task- Bill wore my 83 right out- had to idle back to the dock in shame, good thing it was at the end of the last day. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Joe will still have the fastest CC at the River Run as best I can tell... Im not planning to bring our '79 down at this point. No boat Ive been in can touch him for holeshot anyways. As far as top speed goes, the 60mph mark has been taken down. ------------- |

The weather is pretty warm in late March. Mid to upper 80's. (Last year anyway) Tent sites are available and the shower house is pretty decent. Many Fans have camped out in a tent and Joe even lived out of a tent for a couple weeks a couple years back as he went on a 'Walkabout" in middle Fl. I've considered doing the tent thing but sleeping in a "cabin" with A/C when you've been out in the hot Fla sun all day is just what you need to finish off an exhausting day. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Parramore’s does have a few tent sites with reasonable rates (Lived there a week and a half or so during my retirement a couple years back). The weather can be anywhere from 60 degree highs with water only a northerner could love up to mid-eighties and very reasonable water temps. Likely you are looking at mid to high 70’s… Just depends on the luck of the draw. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Heads up! I checked my reservations (Luckily!) and I was prepaid for Thanksgiving weekend in November, 2012!! I quickly called Lori and discussed the problem and she remembered me, and the fact that I was to be there with the CCF group. No explaination for the weong date. So she corrected and put me in to my original request, The Shellcracker cabin. And threw in the covered boat slip for the scare. Check your reservation dates. ------------- Js |

I have sketchy information on a new "destination" for the primary river run. There is a marina that welcomes groups, and there is a state park next door, but at the park they charge an admission fee even if you "boat in." From what I understand, there isn't much dock space, so we would have to anchor out and raft up. Maybe bring along a couple of inflatables or canoes for those who don't want to get wet going ashore. I hope to find time soon to go there and check it out. Funny that I have to go borrow a boat to do it; mine is stll in cold storage, and I don't want to use the '61. Hontoon Island was really good....... Art ------------- "Art" |

Art, that sure sounds like a plan..... When in doubt refer to rule # 1 SJRR Rules and Regulations # 1 There is no plan..... Hontoon sure was worth the drive, the dockage and BBQ pits will be haed to match anywhere along the river. We are always open to new "river runs" we just need a place to tie up and graze...Mike if you are savy to that area give me a call..Billy ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Both Salt Springs and Palatka are farther from Astor than Hontoon. Either trip involves running the length of Lake George. If the wind were to be stiff (from any direction) it would be a tough or impossible trip for our small boats. Hontoon is looking better unless we find something more protected from the wind. ------------- "Art" |

Yeah last year going across the lake on Friday to Silver Glen was rough and that was less than halfway. It beat the hell out of my Supersport and that's a much bigger boat. I can't imagine how bad it was for some of the guys going across in the older SN's and Mustangs. ------------- '02 Ski Nautique 196 w/ 5.7 Apex bowtie - Sold '87 Barefoot - sold '97 Super Sport Nautique - originally custom built for Walt Meloon '97 Ski Nautique '83 SN 2001 |

I have to admit that when I came back from the Glen I was running alone, and had some horrible thoughts about stuffing the '61 through a wave and losing it. It has zero flotation in it! ------------- "Art" |
