hmm all these responses to this mini get together is adding up more then the northeast reunion topic. Why not just reschedule it and caravan up to Lake George, NY. Most of you guys went to Green Lake which is farther then NY I would think. We need some representing from the Southeast.

Phil,
I would like nothing more, but I can only go for a weekend. Lake George is a bit far for that short of a period of time. I went with Reid for a weekend trip last year and it was more than I expected. |

Phil, I gotta agree with Critter on this one minus a trip with Reid (might have to add thatone to my bucket list). I can get to "the Hooch" in about an hours drive as I have plans Sat morn and back to work on Mon. Takes time and $$ to make a trip that far which I don't have.

I agree with you guys, and its great you guys are getting together down there. I wish I could make it too, I only get 10 days of vacation per year sucks, I already used 8 for my family vacation and snowmobile trips in the winter. So I know what you guys mean about time limiting.
It was just trying to get some hype for the northeast thread as everytime i log on to CCF I see a post hiding the Reunion post Thanks Phil |

I think I can speak for allot of us in that we wished we all could be there. We aren't trying to take anything away from the LG reunion. You guy's just need to move closer to warmer temps and warmer water in Sept!

Alright guys I have been a little quiet on here, internet issues at the house have kept me from getting the time to book a ticket and make things happen, but the lights are blinking again so the wheels have now turned and I am booked. Flight arrives 9pm on Friday so I will be in probably about when critter and crew arrive, Greg and Amy I very much appreciate the offer to stay over, I threw a few airline miles at a rental car so with an address I should be able to get myself to your place to stay Friday night through Sunday about dark. I am flying out Monday at 6am so I reserved a room next door to the airport for sunday night.
I am all in favor of throwing money at a problem rather than putting the hosts through more work than necessary. So whatever the meal plans either put me to work or let me know where to contribute. Looking forward to the trip, August has been a lost month for me and the watersports, sprained foot, two extended work trips, and questionable weather have taken thier toll. This trip should help me extend to a reasonable september and hopefully salvage the season, we will see if jbear can get me up on my barefeet for the first time in 10 years and if Tim can get me upside down on a wakeboard (I dont plan to land and tell the tale but mostway around would be nice). |

Sounds perfect Joe. We would've let you stay Sunday night, but I do understand being close to the airport. The airport is right at 1:15 from here. The time you're flight arrives puts you well past traffic and it's almost all interstate. We're 5 minutes off of I-985.
For the record-I would rather can this whole thing and buy Joe's air fare than have anyone upset with us. I think this got rolling becase we can't get to LG for some reason. |

Wow! That hurt Greg. I guess I should have communicated that one a little better. I meant for those folks who are just around the corner who LIVE on the lake but if there is a need we will satisfy. Joe, You got a deal. I'll drag you round all day as long as you can stand it! |

Amy said my last post didn't come across as intended. What I was trying to say, and did a poor job of, is that I have the utmost respect for CCFan. Shoe leather for dinner again.

I love seein' 2 guys that really like each other and get along so well after sharing so much over the years. Actually I like bologna sandwiches...Grandma K. used to fry it up, put it on white bread with mustard. Yummm...remember Bill? So if bologna is on the menu maybe me and Patti will have to stay a little later on Sunday.Had planned to be on the road by noon. Is "Joe the yankee" same as "JoeinNY"?...hope so...that'd be sweet! Buffalo; Just noticed Mrs. Buffalo's sig like...love it...so true. When I think of all the hours Patti has spent in the boat for me...and asking nothing except for a bimini top. Gotta love 'em. john |

Right you are Ifskizzer.....we sure don't wanna take anything away from the great time being planned for Lake George.
Especially with the great honor of Mr. Ralph joining you guys there. Patti and I have had the pleasure of meeting him quite a few times and it is a real treat to speak with this man who has so much to do with all we enjoy so much. I think the Godfather may be bringing The One, I hear Ken is suppling free wine, you'll have the be-goggled barefoot madman, plus a whole host of others. Buffalo and I just fear we may be making a bit to much noise on here about Georgia, which is a cool place, and taking just a bit of the focus off of Lake George, where it really should be this time of year. So if ya got any questions, PM me or Greg, or call. Thanks. john |

John, I was raised on that sandwich and love them.. really White bread or toasted ??? both good. I just got done reading the complete thread, I did not know someone was talking about LG09. That's funny becasue i read it after I posted. The complete picture would be for me to go to LG09 and come back by GA. But I can not to that this year, need more pocket money..hehe Dave |

I don't see a problem with this get together or topic. I know I wouldn't be taking another 17 hour reunion trip this year. I can only attend this one because it is in my back yard. The timing & distance for LG may not be for everyone else attending Lanier get together as well. It started out because Jbear wanted to make the trip up to Lanier & it has grown from that. I personally think it's great others want to join in & see everybody & visit new lakes. The more the merrier! Sorry if anyone sees it as taking away from LG, but I see it as another chance for me to visit with others that can't make LG & that's what makes the site great!

Well put skicat. I couldn't agree more. If I am not mistaken, isn't that how GL got started in the first place. I've been to 2 reunions this year (Well St. Johns wasn't official{yet}!) and it's about CC folks hanging out with other CC Folks. The River Run was only 4-6 boats the first year and 20 the second. GL stated out with how many? and in it's forth year its up to 60. I think that says it all in what Keith has started in itself. The guy's out in Texas felt moved and had one also. Shoot! There could be 3 official and 2 unofficial reunions before its all said and done. Somebody ask Mr Ralph what he thinks about it. I'm sure he'd start with a grin ear to ear!
Hey, You'd guy's would freak if the man who coined the phrase "Down Yonder on the Chattahoochee" showed up. I think he is still has a home in the area and I believe he used a CC in his video. |

Okay, I'm bumping this thread back up and reviving it as the;
LG reunion is this weekend................. Hope you have a great time Guy's ...... Looks like Alan Jackson won't be around afterall. I looked up to see if he was on tour and he is. Guess we won't get a surprise visit. Greg S, I hope you've been busy in the shop as the 88 is itchin for a new knob. Hope the lake is staying level if not coming up and what's the lastest buzz on the Hooch? Fired up the smoker yesterday to make sure it's working and Kim has found someone to play for her on Sunday so Mrs. Buffalo will have some help with TP surprise and adding another Kentuckian to the mix . Got an e-mail from Lewy a couple of days ago and all this reunion/get together stuff round the USA is killing him. I think he is already having GL withdrawls and the summer is just beginning down there. Maybe we might just have to get him to call Greg's to give us all a shout from down under. Everyone who said they were coming still on board? |

I think this list is current. I added Kim in and we're glad to hear she'll be joining us. We also have 3 possibles. I wish we could all make LG. We'll have to salute the NE in the group picture. Everything is set here minus a few chores I have to finish. I moved the BBQ up to 40 so we can have seconds. That, and I've been spreading the word. If the weatherman works with us we'll have quite a group on Saturday evening! |

Wahoo is right!
Glad you'll be here Jim; and sounds like your daughters might be the same age as Sarah and company(25 ish?). I'm sure they'll wish they had other plans. Tim, I got a little something in the mail for you and a another something from a good friend. I'll post the credits and props when we start posting pics. This promises to be a great w/e for those of us who can't get so far north. The BFN is in good shape and the '79 will be here...maybe along with a few others we've stopped to talk to recently and the others driving in. We're really looking forward to seeing everyone and breaking the newbies in. |
