Nice meeting you out there Shookie.

Pretty sure I saw Suke on 64 headed to Jordan.

White jeep? Didn't go up 64 today, normally do but put in at the new hope ramp as I was meeting a buddy.

Same Seth! Don’t spread the word too much about that location. ?

Ah ok must have been someone with a similar boat.

@Shookie did you notice me when I first got up there. I was towing that old fishing boat back to the ramp.

 

[sethman919]

I gotta figure out how to put a jet boaters flag on my ski.

No, didn't notice. Too focused on other stuff....

Anyone know what the little black bugs are? They were all over Falls. Almost look like ticks but they fly. Never seen them before. Do the other lake have them as well?

 

[Shookie]

They are all over Jordan too. Look like ticks but don’t think they are

 

[Shookie]

I’m on Jordan right now if anyone is out and wants to say hello.

Those bugs were everywhere yesterday!...

 

[96Pirate]

They seemed to be worse on the west side of 50. We had tons of them on the tube when we pulled it out of the water and the girls wouldnt even swim while i was deflating the tube. We have always been camping at Kerr this weekend in years past but i have never seen them before. Hope they are not around all year. Anyone see them up at Kerr?

 

[Shookie]

Was out on Jordan for a while today. Didn't see 1 of those bugs..... good news!

 

[sethman919]

Nice...can't wait to get out again

Good to know. We'll be out on Jordan tomorrow.

Since I can drive my truck now we will be out tomorrow on Jordan. Not %100 sure if we will be on the ski or in the boat. The wife wants me to take her out on the ski if we can find a sitter otherwise we will be out with the boat and the kiddos.

On my way up to gaston with the ski today to swap trailers with the dealer. long story.. might stop at falls on the way back and explore a little bit.

 

[suke]

We'll hopefully be on Jordan tomorrow too. Bringing the neighbors, so hopefully they don't convince my wife to have us take them to Harris since it's like 5 mins from our house.

 

[Julian]

Hopefully on Falls tomorrow....likely launch at Rolling View State Park.

 

[bronze_10]

And I will be putting my throttle body back together..

Looking for advice from you guys/girls with more experience than I have. We've got family visiting the next few days, I want to try to get everyone out to Jordan but my SX190 doesn't quite have the capacity for 6 adults and 5 kids at once. I'm trying to figure out if I can maybe get everyone to meet at a picnic area or a dock and take people out like 4 at a time? Seems like it could get boring quick for those left on shore. Are there beaches where I could maybe take everyone in a couple of trips and set up for the day? I'm not super familiar with the lake yet, I may do a scouting trip during the week on my own and see what I can find.

Short of buying a bigger boat (not because I wouldn't *want* to), any suggestions on getting several people out there and having an awesome time?
