***Music City Mini 2012***

Hey Gang,

A little late, but it was great to meet yall at the Masters. Great tournament, with lousy tshirts! I missed most of yall as we were leaving. We had a great dinner with Morfoot and his girls. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in a few weeks.

We made the 1st trip to PP yesterday. Water is down ~3.5' which was actually better than I expected. It revealed some of the shallow areas that most might not realize (which are normally under water). If you read the banks, and watch for buoys, we should be ok. I've been marking up a map for guidance. If most of you are going out Fri morn, I may try to meet up at the campground that am.

The campground had a good ramp but limited trailer parking. There is a swimming area w ramp and ~50 parking spaces around the corner. Launch fees are included w camping. (Don't let adult beverages be seen at this area as the woman at the swimming area guardhouse was hard nosed). Beverages ok at campground. There was a grocery very close by if needed.

I checked out Luau Island. Rocky shores all around, but should be plenty of room for all of us even if other boats are present. You might want to bring 2 anchors if available.

I tried to be Mr. Helpful for the day, and towed in a 1st time boater with engine problems. Got him to the dock, but Mr. Moron here, proceded to chop an old ski rope and wrap it around the prop in the process. At least no chainsaw stitches! Hope Mr. Foot's leg is healed to get wet!

The water temp was very refreshing, in low 80's. My son wore his sleeves, but really weren't needed.

For those staying off-site, there are several ramps around. The marinas typically charge $5/day. I'll be glad to discuss by phone, etc any thoughts/options.

Also, the I-24 loop on the eastern side of Nashville will be closed from friday night to early morning. This causes you to loop around west of downtown. You may want to look at Hwy 155 (Briley Parkway) as a by-pass. This would affect only folks coming in the north on I-24 East, or I-65 South.

Looking forward tro meeting and seeing everyone. if you have questions, my direct email is: gsja7777@aol.com

Tom, what did the water feel like? Colder, warmer? We were at Dale Hollow last weekend and it felt excellent. Low 80°'s.

Believe Mojo, Steve-O, Paul W, HW & Johnny are all at Hotel(s), you flyin in Joe??

Its might be down 6 feet. Water temp didn't feel like low 80's,when I first jumped in last weekend.

Just checked the US Army Corps website for JPP Reservoir. Looks like the lake is already 3 feet below summer pool. Water temperature is 81° already though .

I dont have any definite plans . I would like to get there before dark to set up the tent . Safety in numbers if there are any problems on the road.

Any GA. members going on Thurs June 14 maybe we can set up a meeting place somewhere on 75 and convoy up.

Down here in Ga. that brand goes for $13 for a 30 pack of cans.Can't touch that in Salt Fork because I tried. See you in Nashville.

$200 worth of Keystone Light! Isn't that like 20 cases Paul?

Food to beer ratio!

25 or better!
