Hey guys. Don't forget: Big Caddy is watching whether you know it or not. The water aand fellowship was great on Salt Fork. The boats (only three) were awasome. but the real kicker is seeing newbies in barefooting, slalom, wakeboarding, and skiing. Even some of "old F--ts" still can cut on occasionally. Looking forward to seeing all again. [

Sometimes he lies to strangers so their feelings won't get hurt, haha. Actually, he'll be up in Cleveland this weekend for Labor Day, so we'll head out Sunday to take in the air show from the lake.

Cool pics Randy, its too bad that old clunky lookin grey wreck is in the way of seeing all of that really cool white boat in the first pic...like when an ugly chick sneaks in front of a hot one in a pic at a party...

Finally getting around to putting up the pics Ashley took of the weekend.

Paul, Pics and video is great! Can you post the one of Justin?

Great time. the ones who chickened out because of the weather forecast really missed out!

I am always impressed with the wonderful folks I have met through this site!

OK here are some shots of my first time.

HAHA, I'm surprised it took you two days to get the order in. Only problem is, your wife is going to have to have the stones to hurtle you across the water at 36mph...you probably couldn't see Laura's face when we were dragging you around, but she was concerned. For some reason women don't like to be involved in administering that kind of a beating.

I can't even complain too much about the weather...sure it got a little wet Saturday night, but I still had a great weekend.

Here were the highlights for me:
Chef Boy-ar-Randy's smoked pork shouler...awesome.
4 first timers:
My buddy Mike on a wakeboard
My buddy Mark on skis
Randy's boy Justin's first time slaloming AND barefooting on the same run (too cool to watch)
And the star of the weekend, Paul (gun-driver) learning to tumble up barefoot on the boom. We couldn't even get that guy back in the boat, he just kept telling us to pull him again. I really hope he posts the videos we got, each one starts with the thrill of victory as he gets up, and ends with the agony of defeat as his feet end up where his head should be.
And if I'm not mistaken, Jennifer popped up on a wakeboard on her first ever attempt, although I was in another boat, so can't say for sure...but we'll call it 5.

It may not have been the biggest turnout, but my crew all had a great time. Have to send out a big thank you to Randy for putting it together and manning the kitchen, and I look forward to this becoming a much bigger event in the years to come. With all the newbies we had this year, we should just change the name to the NE Ohio CCF what do you want to learn to do Gathering.

You guys have a great weekend. Us southern boys had a great weekend last weekend on Lake Lanier. Hosted by Buffalo Greg and Amy.
Have fun and toast one for us CCfans that can't make it

Some things you may want to bring along:

Bug Spray
Chairs
Can Coozie's

I have meat covered for Fri-Sat and were bringing a pasta salad and baked beans but we could probably use a couple more side dishes, so if you want, bring a side dish or a bag of chips.

We should get down there around 3ish today. we will be set up at site F15.

see ya soon

Wanted to bring this to the top.
I'm getting packed today plan on heading out around noonish tomorrow, should put me there around 1430.
(if I don't get lost and all goes as planned)

Randy when do you think you will arrive?

Can I bring anything to help out in the food department, of course I'll have beer.

There is a campground store that sells Ice, firewood, and other items. There is also a couple convenience stores on Rt22 and if you drive into Cambridge you can find grocery stores, restaurants, etc.

I'll be bringing my grill and my electric smoker. I'm planning on smoking a couple chickens for Friday dinner, and smoking a pork shoulder for Saturday. I'll also be bringing a bunch of burgers and hotdogs for lunch or whatever. I'll also bring potato salad, pasta salad and chips.

Bring the little ones, I'll have my wife and three kids and my oldest (Ashley) is 15 and happy to help look after any younger ones. Hopefully the temps will come down into the 80's. The lodge should still have rooms available too if you want A/C.

Looking forward to meeting up with all of you!

OK guys,

I have been busy with the GL reunion and then my three kids birthdays, but I'm back to work and back on CCF!

I just checked the campsite availability at Salt Fork for Aug 5-7 and at the time of this posting there is only ONE campsite available in the "G" loop. If anyone is still considering coming out I would grab that site now.

I will find out tonight...flushed it 4 times...will run it tonight and if it is still good flush it again.
