OK I'll have to talk to the wife and see how this works out. My son starts school that Monday so that might throw in a wrench but we'll see.

In the same boat so to speak, my daughter starts on the 19th as well. What the heck is up with that, school should not begin until after Labor Day!! |

Well sometimes the plans need to be changed and thats a regroup situation. My instigator son who got me into all this business has the whole week off so both weekends work. Lucky me as my life has become a bit less complicated. Just getting the Skier back from Seattle and takin her down ot Fl for the winter to work on the deck has been my charge. Not too shabby. Heading back to New England before the 20th of May and will be attending this event. Just might be the highlight of an otherwise short season back home. Thanks Tim

Tim, the fosters are in, but my girls have decided that they would prefer their own bathroom/shower facilities. Do you have recommendations for a local hotel? We don't need anything fancy, as I am assuming that we won't be hanging out there much, but it will make the weekend an easier sell.

I dont have a specific recommendation, unfortunately... never had to stay somewhere local (besides at home!). I know there are a few small motel/hotels in Torrington, which is only 15-20 min away. There may be other small B&B type places in the towns surrounding Goshen as well. Let me know what you find out!

If we can, we would like to car camp at the waterfront?
And we also have a 2 yr old choc lab female(fixed)...... Would Tique like to meet a new playmate? We would love to bring her if that's ok? Thanks John. |

Ohhhhhhh quit your whining Quinner.... The girls first day is August 1 and they both have band camp the week before so our summer is over the 3rd week in July. The first FB game is the 29th of August and one is leading the band while the other is marching in it. I talked to Reid this weekend so tentative plans is I'll be doing the same thing as last year and riding up with the Pinkham family or catching a flt to Boston. To soon to tell as of yet but pencil me IN! |

Some unplanned "events' of late and a family wedding in Maine this fall will not permit us to attend. I am bummed. I am sure that all that attend will have a great time.
Hate that I will miss this |

I do not recommend this for everyone, but I retired just so I would not have to ask for days off to attend this event. I can hardly wait.

Tim, I'm hoping to make it this year, as of now the calendar is open.
Boat question - I could bring the '63 Skier or the '98 Sport, or no boat. Preference? |

David, my vote is for you to bring the 63 Skier. Several of us had a ball skiing behind some of the "old school" boats as well as some of the newer ones, not to mention many will just want to get behind the wheel of her.
Of the many talks I had with Reid at GL it looks like we've decided (at this point) to head the RV north sometime on the 22nd depending on when I fly into Charlotte and if Reid can get things in order at work. Rumor has it that "The Donald" may be joining us so it's shaping up to be one heckava rode trip. This mini gathering at the "Benjamin Bayou" is gonna be one for the record books so I hope they've warned the neighbors that CCFans from across the country are taking over the lake for that weekend. It will be here before you know it and I for one am getting a little pumped for it to get here. |

I am pumped also. We live nearby so it makes for an easy trip. Perhaps my son and I will come boatless this year and just take the time to meet and put faces on the names we chat with all year. The 60 Atom has been in the water and will be dependable very soon so that's a possibility.

My family is still on board, so we will be showing up with our SV as long as there is space. Let me know if the boat count gets too high and we can adjust.
Zoe (now 12) is still hoping to get a barefoot lesson, so should be a fun weekend. |

Any takers on a Chicagoland carpool? Johnny and I are intending to head out Thursday afternoon and return to base late Sunday. |

Planning on a Friday noon-ish arrival. Most likely no boat. Probably just sleep in the truck.

Hey Tim!
My family and I are in! Our traveling road show hopes to arrive mid morning Friday to finish out our vacation! I'm bringing the Mustang and ground tackle to moor her, a family sized tent to keep out of the way, beer,tennis balls for the dogs, and 3 kids looking to try new water sports! We're looking forward to the weekend! What can we do or bring to help? Looking forward to seeing and meeting and putting names to faces on Friday! Thanks,John and family! |

Is anyone else flying in? I'm flying into Bradley (Hartford). Touchdown at 11:30 Friday morning and departing 10:11 on Monday morning. Interested in either catching a ride from someone coming through about that time or splitting the cost of a rental car with other people who are flying.

I usually fly in but flights were outrageous.
Johnny and I are driving, leaving Chicago early Thursday afternoon, hauling back Sunday. We have room for 1 or 2 hitchhikers. |
