About a month out from this event so I thought I would try to bump this up - There has been some talk about doing a pig roast for Saturday - this will be driven by what makes sense based upon the number of folks in attendance. We will need to coordinate the order for the swine so please update this thread if you are planning to be in attendance Greg / Kristin (Sue will be out of town until Sunday evening......not sure if she is smart or scared.

I'm relatively new to the group and have not attended the Badin gathering, but it sounds like a whole lot of fun. I have some questions. My wife and I was thinking about bringing the family and was originally planning to get campsite at Lake Badin Campgrounds since i have a 2.5 and a 4.5 year old. But it sounds like Greg may have room for tents? I was shooting for Friday and Saturday night if all goes well. Another plan might be to make a daytrip out of it since I'm not far away (Chapel Hill, NC). Just wondering if you all think the event is family friendly enough. I would be bringing a 1985 SN 2001. ------------- 1985 2001 Ski Nautique 1961 Chris Craft Ski Boat |

Michael, there are plenty of spots to pitch a tent and trees to string to do the ENO thing if you do that. I'd say it's family friendly for the most part. It doesn't get too crazy in the afternoon but once dinner is over and the shot ski comes out..... Not too many kids there at all unless you're gonna include the 30+ year olds. Lots of dogs running round so hope your kids aren't afraid of dogs and there's quite a bit of adult beveraging. Lot's of boat time weather permitting and hanging out by the fire pit too. Not a lot of things for young kids to do so keep that in mind if you bring the family. Your kids will have more " Aunts & Uncles" than they'll realize or even comprehend. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Thanks Morfoot for the info. Kids are pretty happy cruising around in the boat and making new friends on land, hopefully swimming if the water doesn't get to cold. It would have to be pretty arctic for the 4.5 year old. She's pretty much no fear when it comes to water. We are laid back about drinking, noise, etc. Just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a bummer for anyone or make people feel uncomfortable. They are use to dogs. The good thing is we could always see how night one goes..more related to them/us sleeping in a tent. Then stay longer if all goes well. That's the great thing about being so close. ------------- 1985 2001 Ski Nautique 1961 Chris Craft Ski Boat |

Mike / Others Plenty of room to set up a tent etc. Kids that enjoy watersports, (and for clarity tubing does not fall into this the watersports category) hanging on the lake with old(er) folks are always welcome. We are happy to have your family come and join the fun but leave any of that baby blue chapel hill apparel in CH...........LOL. This house Backs the Pack and supports the Deac's. Looking forward to meeting you All, I was out pulling some friends skiing earlier today and the water was a cool 84.7 in the middle of the main channel. With temps in the 90's the next couple of days we can expect the water to be in the high 70's to low 80's for the event. ------------- '05 206 Limited '88 BFN |

All So those who control the lake elevation have been more focused recently on power generation than recreational use. Given this the lake elevation is down ~2' from full pond and will like drop some more before the event. Not to fear we will have plenty of water to enjoy. http://cubecarolinas.com/lake-levels/ ------------- '05 206 Limited '88 BFN |

I can live with that and the 90+F temps into mid week followed by mid 70's and sunshine for the Badin Bayou Mini is almost perfect.

Did not happen. Hopefully some other time. I think it would be a hoot. Not that I would be a particularly strong competitor, but it would be fun to participate/witness. As Buckethead veterans, I had Scott or Dave as favorites to win, but Woody or Allen are both just crazy enough to give them a good run for the money. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Holy cow...where to start.... Gotta start 1st off with a big thanx to Greg & Sue for opening up their beautiful lake house for this event. Once again they had people sleeping everywhere. Thanx for the delux accomadations for Patti & I & Jordee. Sorry about all the dog hair. Sue's patience with this whole event is incredable. Think 50 people boating cooking out drinking and wandering in & out of your house for 3 days. As usual part of the fun of these events is meeting people we have here to fore only met "on-line"....this years count for me was: Audiodude (Art)....triplett (Mike) and his awesome family...Todd & Alan the Air Chair guys...you should see Todd's videos! and Woody & Alan..2 of Greg's footin buddies. Thanx to all who brought food especially Jesse & Dave for the incredable pig roast....what a team...Jesse cooked and Dave watch and drank beer. And Dave...once again I did not get to drive the yellow boat... Special mention has to go out to Couz Donald who musta bought out Bojangles entire saturday morning run of biscuit sandwiches....delicious. Hope we did not scare off Tim's prospective in-laws. They probobly had no idea what kinda 'family' their daughter is marrying in to. I got to double with Dave Hart and of course Larry Hineline. Missed out on the 4-mans on friday. Thanx to Justin Landers for loaning me and Patti his rocket ship of an outboard boat on friday. He even let Jordee ride. Got to see Reid and Laurie....blessing to see Reid none the worse for wear after his hurricane adventure... Was cool to spend time with the Monahans but sure did miss my brother..... I probably left out someone or something....but will leave you all with this. Patti and I drove 10 hours on friday...skied a little then skied on saturday then drove 10 hours home on sunday. So it was 20 hours of driving to spend a day and a half with C/CFan friends and family....worth every turn of the wheel! john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

Nice recap Larry and huge shout out to the Fossets for opening their home to a bunch of SkiBums for a weekend of Boating, footing' skiing, eating and drinking. Heather and I had a great time and even her parents who aren't skiers had a blast. Thanks to all y'all who reached out and made them feel welcome. They almost didn't come because they don't ski and they didn't know anyone. Hanging out with CCFans and seeing our ski family in action, they let us know that they both wanted try waterskiing again. Y'all Rock! As always, there were new friends made, new boats to drive and ski behind ( thanks Larry) and never enough time to hang with everyone for long spells. Thanks to those that helped in providing stuff for the troops. I'll close with the group email I got from my co-worker who heads this up....... We’re taking donations to put together 200 care packages for the wounded warriors at Landstuhl Reginal Medical Hospital at Ramstein AFB in Germany. Just a few of the items were buying for these care package include 200 battery powered tooth brushes, 200 Brain Teaser puzzles, Delta kicked in 200 first class Tumi convenience kits. We need 12 cases of wet wipes, 200 each Tooth Pickers, Hand lotion, Lip therapy, tooth paste, and Beanies and gloves, Thermal Stainless coffee mugs and we would like to send 200 $10 Starbucks or Dunkin Doughnuts gift cards. Please donate, We have to fill up these boxes, get them packed and shipped to Germany by the end of the month to make it by Thanksgiving. Special thanks this week to Kevin Judd from MSP, Brax Esancy, Bill Butler, Mike Massey and famly, Pat Kerns, Sebastian Jacome, Heather Johnson, Robert Donaldson, and finally Tim Morfoot and the members of his boat club. “You are all great Americans” Thanks again gang.... I guess the next mini will be River Ruckus 2020. Hope to see you all there. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Thanks for sharing your fun weekend. I am very jealous and my feet feel hot just watching how well you guys were footin and how long you were up. Having done 4 barefooters before, ( we all stepped off single skiis ) I know how hard it is to pull off. You guys are good. Loved the video's and the sound of the Nautique, Barefoot 454 I am guessing? Pulling out 4 deep water starts. Nice. Good music on the video also. Wish I was close enough to play in this event! ------------- |
