I think we will be arriving Saturday morning and camping on Saturday night if the weather allows. Is there a central meeting point or just find each other. I met some people at Clinton Lake this week with a Martinique and invited them. They will hopefully be looking on the forum to get details.
How many boats will be attending as of now? |

Ken, Do you need reservations that time of year or are you just winging it? |

Just made my reservations at Eagle Creek. Very reasonable- 119.00/night and the dock is 20.00/night. I'm arriving Friday morning (9/22) and leaving Sunday! I suppose I need at least one more person to come since we need a spotter...
Here's a decent list of accomodations if anyone is coming: Shelbyville Accomodations |

stang, Central Ala. I live on Lay Lake. The lake is about 50 miles long and is a holding lake for the Coosa River cahin. Which means the water doesn't drop in the winter..Check it out on www.laylake.org

Hey guys, since ya'll like road trips, how about coming to Ala. We can run until mid-end of Oct. with a wet suit. Course stays up year round and we got a couple boats available for the pulls if you have to put yours away for the winter. Ski in the morning, football and bbq in the afternoon. Just a thought..

Shellbyville??? How far>? I guess i'd have to map quest it to see how long of a weekend to make it?. You guys are killing me! Kinda tough when i'm all the way over here in MO. and all of you guys are within couple of hours of each other!
 I'd love to hook up with you guys again Yo Stang..... Looking forward to spring meet. Im sure the lake would be in for that one?
I'll keep following post to see what happens. Paul, |

OK, I am in for Shelbyville on the 23rd. Where in the heck is Powers? I may get squirrely and do both? I am definitely a slalom/trick skier so good skiing is critical, but floating with a barley pop is enjoyable too.

I like your thinking. I'm looking forward to getting on that monoski at Shelby (haven't ridden it once this season). Either weekend 16/17 or 23/24 sounds good. |

Awesome. So, let's set it in stone... Shelby for some serious skiing 9/23. I will probably make it a 3 day weekend because I have some PTO to burn and I need a getaway!

HEre's our plan, looks like we're going to Powers on the saturday of Labor day weekend. Probably more hanging out than skiing, then up to Green for the rest of the weekend.
The Shelby trip is cause I really haven't done a ton of skiing this year and those photos of the course and that flat water got me going. So goof off up at Powers and get some serious skiing in at Shelby |

Looking at my calendar, 9/23 would be fantastic.
So, here's a fresh look at the tally: MOj---Powers/9-16 M3Fan-- Shelby/9-23 PLBC---Powers/9-16 Stang---Shelby/9-23 81nautique---Shelby/9-23 weitekampt---Shelby/? Looks like the Shelby peeps are good. Here's a new thought- it's so easy for many of us to get over to Powers that we can do that AS WELL as Shelby. Heck, make two midwest gatherings. |

My Brother is getting married on the 15th so a road trip would be out for me, I could make a local get together work that weekend or most any other.

Dang, this is cool. I have always wanted to meet other nautique guys and it will be fairly close. So my vote is Shelbyville on the 17th or whatever. Camping is also cool. Resort may be pricy for me. So I guess you can count a newbie in if I can come.

Joel,
I want to run the course so if there is a problem with putting it in at Powers then I say Road trip downstate to stang country. I also like the idea of camping right on the lake, wake up in the morning and hop in the boat so Shelby it is. |
