I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but I am sure that Reid never thought he would be referred to as "The Rev.", unless it has to do with a throttle.

Brett , no need for an extra grill, Parramores has a HUGE pit just waitin for Sweet.He was voted in as Grill Master last year, a job very well done last year, I might add.
Needless to say there was a lot of food cooked last year, each fan brought and cooked their special treat to share . This was possibly the high point at this event.

I forgot about that there banner.. I suppose it is hanging around somewhere? Probably with the watersports equipment I havent touched since the NE reunion... I will keep my eye out for it as I am packing for the SJRR next week.   Thats right I plan on leaving next week for the river run cause I am just that excitied. Now it is going to take me a while to get down there mind ya .. I dont think I will be there until March 20th. But we will be down and on the river from Tuesday the 20th until the big day, so y'all should be planning on coming down (or possibly up) early.

These may be a 2nd options a mile or so down river..

Would be driving from the north side of Atlanta, and could probably give 2 additional folks rides. Email me at TJGray347@gmail.com

You just signed up. There's no "official" sign-up process. The only thing you really need to do is secure a place to stay. Bret posted a link a couple of posts up.

You will have fun if you indeed decide to drop in.

Ralph and Lil' Sue will be showing up! And going to the Sunnyland boat show too.

Jim, don't count yourself out yet. It ain't March yet and you may just have to go the poor mans route if you can talk Robyn into sleeping in a tent. Plenty of boats there to catch a ride in and I'm headed down anyway so you guys got a way to get there and back. Guessing we need to talk.

Marty, sent ya an email.

Well we're officially in for the fun! Reid was kind enough to push us over the fence by securing a cabin for us not to far from the camp site and is crazy enough to offer Alicia and I a rig to pull down with his caravan!!

Can't wait to see everyone in March!

Whose Skylark???

Bad news guys Might can't make the trip. Parts selling is slow- hours have been cut- 28-30 hrs tops. Company truck has been taken away---Insurance deal. Been tapping the petty cash fund and savings hard the past month.

Guess I might need a SJRR Fund to take up to make it

That Lake Beresford is a decent BIG ski lake, not much there except for gators a few houses. Beware lots of no wake zones down there and its 17 miles from SR40 bridge to SR 44 bridge and its a few miles past that. I've driven it on a full moon night but I wouldn't recommend it, after losing track of time. I also recommend you examine to map beacuse you can take a wrong turn on the river in that area , their is a couple bends that aren't marked well. Hoonton island is a good fishing spot, i always see people on the bank. I think they do pontoon tours out of there...its a bit further down to blue springs, its pretty much forbidden to go in there with a boat due to manatees probably will still be in there.

Brett, another reason this has been suggested as a raft up point is so that we can use Lake Beresford for driving each others boats, skiing behind each others boats, and being able to take advantage of the 2012 boats that the Nautiques of Orlando usually provides for us to demo for the day. They have provided Demos for use to use the last 2 years but I don't think anyone took advantage of it for logistics reasons. Jody brought his 200 last year which I'm sure he would have pulled anyone who wanted a run. Rafting up in the Silver Glenn is a time consuming, pain in the butt event and this way you can easily untie, ride, drive, demo and raft up easily with the floatilla when your done. Plus having a gallery to ski past could make for some 2013 Calendar photo ops.

Just need some time period swimwear,and skis for a photoshoot. The boats will already be there.

Thanks Brett for the "Johnny on the spot" info , I see this being the best yet SJRR event. If of intrest, Google, Blue Springs State Park for the things to do list there as well.It is a short drive South from Hontoon Island, so we will check it out as well.

Edit: I know this should go in the classified area but I'd rather sell to a SJRR attendee. I have a Fly High aluminum X-Pole ($200) and a Skylon Sky Rack ($175) that are both in excellent shape that I can bring to sell if anyone is interested. Also have a older barefoot boom (unsure of brand) w/single bow clip cable I will sell for $75-.
