Okay, guys....we put a reservation down at a cabin. I'm waiting for the confirmation but @Detonate @maboat and I will definitely be there.

Also, I found another camping place. They have a "group" camping area....so everyone gets their own place but you're still close enough to hang out in the evening if you want:

@Christy Maybe edit the original post with all the final details.

You can start a list with the people attending, their boat, and where they are staying so that others can join in.

Maybe @Bruce can hook this thread up with a Sticky since it's now officially a sure thing!!!

Good ideas! I already updated the title of this thread. I also edited the first post to put the dates. Once I get our confirmation email for our cabin, I'll post where we'll be staying.

I am extremely interested. We have talked about broken bow several times. It's a descent tow from Wichita Falls, but it would,be awesome.

@Christy thanks for throwing down a date and location. That is 97% of the battle right there!

Alright, we are confirmed at our place for Friday and Saturday nights: July 25th and July 26th.

Here's a map I made. It has our cabin location on there as well as the marina that we'll probably launching from. If you are definitely coming and you want me to add you to the map, let me know.

Feel free to send me message if you want/need help getting a list of cabin rentals or campground locations. FTR, I've never been to Broken Bow, but I'm a Google whiz and found a bunch of info (a lot linked in previous posts...but not all).

***if you plan to attend, copy info below and paste into a new reply and add yourself to the list.***

Here's the list of confirmed attendees:
detonate & Christy (Jim and Christy) - 2005 AR230 - sharing cabin with maboat
maboat (Mark and Liz) - 2006 AR230 - sharing cabin with Detonate and Christy

@bprender, I'm hoping for the best at Grapevine, but I'm not holding my breath. I think it's going to be low. But as long as there's an open ramp, we'll be out there this summer. Anyhow, I'm hoping you guys can make it out to Broken Bow!

@Mike Rock 4 of the Grapevine boat ramps are closed, but there are several open. Here's a map of all the ramps. Here's the link to the the US Army Corp of Engineers site with the list of closed ramps (you'll have to scroll down to Grapevine).

We have booked our lodging for the gathering. We got a cabin in the state park that will sleep the four of us and has a small kitchen. It's not fancy, but it's cheap and clean.
