Alan.....wasn't he the gent from Charleston that had the 94 SN? I think he was a freind of Stangs?? Yep, I remember now, does that mean Stang's crew might be coming? Anybody hear from Gary lately? Haven't seen them all year, a parties just not the same without them. I'll touch base.

I emailed back and forth with Gary a few days ago. He said he'd be out to party with us if Helden didn't have anything related to hockey going on then...

Joe, right on, glad to see you coming out.

How many boats/people do we have coming down?

You're damned right you are. Cya there.

Looks like it's shaping up to be another great weekend. The lake has been great skiing early am and just after dinner but as usual it will calm down after labor day.

This weekend we took a side trip to Liquid Edge to get Dana some pointers. They are awesome people and Dana's 30 minute lesson stretched to close to an hour, Doug is a great instructor. They dropped an X-14 in the water just for her to better match the wake Dana's used to boarding behind, it was navy blue and orange so I commented on the Illini colors and it turns out it was Coach Zooks personnal boat.

Then back at he lake in the afternoon we got treated to a wildman buzzing party cove in a small plane. He buzzed us for about 15 minutes doing most of the manuevers you see at an air show. He made a pass about a 1/2 mile long no more than 20 feet above the lake then climbed enough to miss the house boat raft uo by again no more than 20 feet. He was below the tree tops, amazing flying. Tough to catch him on a camera phone but here's one that we got.

We're in too. We'll be down Friday,but we are staying in Leroy at the Holiday Inn Express.

Awesome Gary, I knew someone would step up and drive my drunk azz back to the hotel at the end of the day !!!! You're a stand up guy Gary.. !!!!

Any recommendations for a person wanting to check out the boats, but doesnt have a boat of their own? I was thinking of making the trip down from Naperville, but I am not sure where to go/what to do once I get there.

Just trying to do a little research into what CC is right for me, and what better place than an event that has a bunch of different models/years.

Change your email setting from private to public so you can exchange a few phone numbers to keep you from getting stranded at the ramp if everyone is out on the water.

I'm sure there will be a nice selection of CCs to check out come on down and I will make sure you get out on the water. Most of us will be in the state campground loop A.

Yes, pretty much every type model will be there. Not new of course, but you'd get the idea. Make sure you come down to the campground's ramp and loop A and we'll make sure you get to check the "ONLY" boat make you should buy !!!
