Arggggh! Morgan has inventory the week of Shelbyville gathering. We would only make a couple days if we attend. So... 2019 will be the next time for us.

Great! Nothing else to do, yet. @OperationROL will send out a registration form at some point for vessel info (needed for the raft-up permit), contact info and t-shirt details.

Please let your wife know that every 'first time Shelbyville wife' has attended with reservations and some anxieties. This usually only takes a day or two to vanish as she will discover a bunch of common Midwest families that just want to get together and have fun. Our days are filled with kid friendly time on the water. Rafting up and talking with new people or out doing water sports I am sure you guys will find your place.

It has come to our attention that we veterans need to be a little more intentional about making ourselves available to the Newbies. If you are comfortable, give us a few details of your family and we will find a similar family to take you underwing. This way you be scratching your head about "where is the raftup in Cove 3?"

@buckbuck Thanks that is appreciated. My wife is a little apprehensive that I planned this small vacation. She is typically not the type of person that is good with new crowds.

My family consists of me (Scott), my wife Teri, and our 10 year old daughter Caleigh. My wife and I are pretty normal except we enjoy alcohol too much at times (she has already scoped out a few wineries she wants to visit in the area if it rains one day). My daughter is shy at first but once she knows someone you can't shut her up. She is in competitive cheer and dance so that takes up most of our spare time in the fall and winter which leaves the summers open for boating. Other than that we are just enjoy spending quality time with friends and family.

If you have any particle questions feel free to ask.

Thanks again,

Scott

Hell Scott sounds like our families need to hook up down there. We will be hitting a couple wineries as well. Lol

@Walt McCree sounds good, we went to one today. Hopefully tomorrow is nice enough to get the boat out though.

Yep, I spent sometime looking for that last year.
i know as soon as i hit the water i turn on my radio just for that reason.
I think it was 68 last year but hopefully we will be updated on that when closer.
I can probably have my handheld on early and late as well in the campground.
Otherwise anyone with questions the big cabin at lithiausually has knowledgeable people!
I will be at a crossroads in the campground and easily found when there as the boat parking is right next to my site as you come in.
