@Boat Crazy, I know there would be room on my boat if you and your wife would want to come.

 

[jcyamaharider]

Oh yeah, plenty of room on any boat if you and Cindy wanted to tag along. We know that is a long drive though.

Thanks for the invite guys/gals. Cindy and I have plans to be camping/ boating Pomme De Terre that weekend with local friends, however if that falls through we might just take you up on the offer. Would love to go.

@sx210owner , @SX210Owner's Wife , @jaybro72 , @jcyamahariders wife what do you guys/ gals think. I am leaning more towards the 10th also.

The 10th is great it gives us the weekend before to squeeze our boat out of our garage and finish everything we need to do. Oh and @jcyamaharider his new polk speakers sound awesome can't wait to crank the stereo for the cruise !

Bummer Gary but we don't live too far from you so here soon we will make a weekend trip up to see you both and we can go to Pomme De Terre and do some camping !

I am not sure there is anywhere to eat after locking thru. Plus there may be a lot of debris in the locks this time of year. Don't get me wrong, I want to do a lock thru, but should we plan that a little later into the season? Just a thought...

 

[sstegh]

Which lock will we be going through?

I am up for anything I really liked where we went for the fall cruise

 

[jaybro72]

we could go upstream to the dam and eat at cedar hill restaurant, Or mark and I could go Friday by car and look on the other side of the dam in pool 25 to get a visual of the water. as long as the water has been receding for a while the debris should be good

lock 25 winfield

My wife and I maybe interested in joining all of you ( we sometimes work on Sat mornings ) if you all wouldn't mind. Last I knew there was no where to eat in pool 25 but haven't made that trip in a couple years, so it may have changed. There where lots of sand bars though at that time.

 

[jcyamaharider]

More the merrier!!

[jaybro72]

we will figure it out

 

[jcyamaharider]

Getting closer!!! The boat is coming out of the garage the 26th and oil changes and plug changes will be done, got the keel guard on my boat, as well as putting the keel guard on mattschepker s boat and installing the radio faceplate protector.
