My job was kind enough to put me on a project in ATL for the summer and my first trip on site is the week of June 23rd. I have another trip the week before so instead of going home, I'm flying down to my parents place to do some skiing.
Who wants to go skiing the weekend of June 21st and/or June 28th? I'm pretty sure me and my dad will be on the water both Saturdays and Sundays, but I figure since we're close, lets get some people together. He lives a mile from West Point Lake in LaGrange, so I was thinking anyone who's interested come down there for a day, and then maybe the next weekend (or vice versa) he and I will trailer the 75 up to Lanier, since I know a lot of you guys are there. Who's in and what do schedules look like? |

Also, obviously I'm not ruling out non-GA folks, if you're in AL, TN, SC, FL, NY, etc and feel like doing some skiing with some fellow CCF'ers, speak up. If you're coming from out of town and need a place to stay we can probably even accommodate that too.

Let me add my two-cents. we are planning for lots of water time will IAughtNaught is in town. The area we ski in has access by auto, so don't think you will miss something if you come boatless. we also have access to a covered pavilion at our little site, as well as flat water.

My boat's way over on Oconee, but I live in nearby Peachtree City, so boatless works for me. Thanks for the offer, may just have to take you up on that.
Have always wanted to go out on West Point. Took my Century over there once back during the droughts, but there was 30 feet of mud past the ramp pavement. Sitting in a ramp parking lot with a boat on the trailer and no water..... |

Good to hear from you Jeff. We have plenty of water right now. Adam and I hope you can make a visit. We hope to hear from others, such as Morfoot and Cphase. The point we ski off of has a nice sandy bottom sand bar for the kids or just "pond floating".

I'm gonna be real disappointed if we don't at least have a Morfoot and NautiqueHunter (x2) sighting.
Tim, I see some footing in your future...we'll definitely have the water...and the boom...and a couple suits...and a couple drivers...and no room for excuses! |

Adam there will be at least one Morfoot sighting when you're hwre I can promise you that. Might have to do two since you made the trek down here. May have to do a weekend at west point if Mama Deen will put me up for the night again and get y'all to head to Lanier maybe the last weekend in June. There is a Motorcycle Rally that weekend with concerts in the evening I think at the amphitheatre.....What's the signifigance?????.. We can listen to the music by boat as the theater is next to the water and NautiqueHunter is 10 mins from it.
Here's the link.. Thunder on the Parkway |

Tim, Mama Deen says "come on down", especially since you suggested music on the water. So, it looks like the 21st and 22nd could be your weekend on West Point. Happy to have you.
So with or without boat, all fans welcome. For the fair skinned, we have shade for afternoon fun if it is needed. |

Bumping this one back up as Adam is crusing into town this weekend. I'm up for a West Point ride on Sunday the 22nd as I've got plans to ride the scoot on Sat morn. Maybe drag the 88 over Sat afternoon/eve to ski with the Deen boys..... Whose game?
I propose another day on Lanier the weekend of the 27th to coincide with the rally thats going on and another meeting of Lanier Crew for those who were there last week and those who may have missed it. Drag the Deens up from LaGrange as well. |

I'm good with the rally/concert on Lanier the next weekend. Long as we get some flat water during the day I'll be happy. |

Sounds good to me. This week at West Point Lake and Lanier the next Saturday.
Tim, love to see Miss Scarlett on our water. Do I remember you tweeked the Mofoot beverage by going with Diet Sprite or Sprite Zero? If you come through LaGrange on US 29, continue toward West Point/Lanett and you will see a two story white gas station/store called RIBITZ. In about a quarter of a mile, take the first road to the right, Long Cane Access. Turn right on the next road you come to and follow around to the next right and you are there. It is possible that we may have other people there that may be a problem, so give me a call (706 957 1186, if I have reception) to update you on the exact location. |

Sounds like a Plan..... Diet Sprite or Sprite Zero...It's about the same either works. The juice is sweet enough to counter the dreaded diet taste.
True dat' cat but we actually found some flat water down by the dam last sat til about 10am when the 40 ft yachts started venturing out. We did find somewhat of a quiet cove waaaaaaaay back in Deer Park Creek but still to rough to slalom. Calm enough to drop anchor and enjoy the sun, water, CCFans and a brew or 3. |

Hi Ben, looks like you're new here, welcome to the site. If you're not familiar with the lake my dad listed out the directions above. If you're looking for some time on the water this weekend come on out and meet the crew. I assume that if you're hanging out here you're a correct craft guy, do you have a boat? What year/model? Thinking about bringing it down to west point this weekend? Are you a skier? If so, what's your poison? Hopefully you can make it down, boat or not. If not, we'll have my dad's 75 and there's a rumor that Morfoot's bringing his along for the trip so we'll have plenty of room. |

If you drop a boat in, we will be headquarted to the right toward the bridge and not left toward the dam. If boatless, continue past the boat ramp an start looking. Easy to spot us on water of on land.
