No problem!

Since it's after Labor day, maybe we'll get the winter rates? I haven't called yet.
INSman started a thread in Hot Spots West and someone said there will be ski racing going on that weekend there too. So, that will be cool to watch as well! :D

Dan, check on rates and availability yet ??

[KROOZIN]

yeah....
$209 for Friday and $229 for Saturday...plenty of rooms available..
If we get 10+ rooms we can get a better deal. They could also work some deals on golf, but I don't golf and I figured we be boating....I haven't locked anything down...
I can try calling their sales office and check for a better price.
We could leave at 4:00am Sat. morning go straight to the launch ramp and just stay one night.

[INSman]

My boat is in Havasu, maybe I stay Fri night there and leave not quite as early as you to meet up on the launch ramp at 10:00 ??

The drive to Lake Mead marina will take you about 2 hours or so. If you go to Calville, your drive will be much longer because you have to drive further up the lake on the other side of town.
You might already know this...
As it gets closer, maybe I'll take the Hallett out and meet you guys.

Trying to keep hours OFF of the new monster ?? I am assuming that the Hallett is already there in Vegas, come on out :cool:
Kroozin needs some of your cleaning magic for his little Skater :wink:

[KROOZIN]

Like to see ya there Magic 34....in either boat..
I'll probably stay both nights, but I thought if someone wanted to save $200, that would be an easy way to do it.
We could probably launch out of Hemmingway or whatever...the last time I was there, there was a low water concern. It's changed now, I'm sure. I'm not the only activities guide on this mission, speak up peeps!! :D :D :D
I just thought the wives and kids would love that place and not even need to go out to the lake (or half lake day half pool..whatever). There is a small casino there...2 pools with a slide....a beach with kayaks on a little lake...and a basketball court...and plenty of space to party too. I'm easy going...whatever works out.

Blane,
I might have to back out of this trip???
I'm thinking since my boat is back east I might as well hit all the big runs before she comes home. Sept 9-10th is the Lake Cumberland Poker run.....haven't decided for sure....just contemplating :idea:
I probably won't be sending it back there again, so why not hit most of the big runs this year while it's there...?
I can get air fare pretty cheap if I book soon, and Baker is doing the hauling for me....so...???:sleeping:
How's your calendar for late Sept?

[INSman]

We can try and reschedule for whenever, my schedule is typically pretty flexible with the exception of 1/1 and 7/1...

[THOR]

I have been there before and it is all that for sure. Have fun brothers.

Lake Cumberland is an AWESOME RUN. Be ready for 140+ mph V BOTTOMS!! You'll have lots of "Cat" Company as well. Feel free to PM me if you need suggestions on where to stay, etc. It does make a difference with the lake being close to 100 miles long from extreme to extreme. Best thing to do is try to "room" with someone on a Houseboat right at state dock.

[KROOZIN]

All the boatells (houseboats in slips) are all booked up. I'm on the waiting list. Is there somewhere close to stay? They said they'd give me a slip when I register for the event. So, at least the boat is handled :cool:
It's probably going to be a guys trip, so I don't need anything fancy :rolleyes: Just party friendly :2purples: :cool: :D :D

[cjordan]

Try www.jamestown-marina.com It is "right across" from State dock, by boat or water taxi. If you have to drive it you're looking at probably 20-25 minutes. There are numerous cabins that are part of Jamestown marina as well. Also several small local motels in the city of Jamestown...which is less than 10 minutes from the lake. Start with the marina and let me know if you have problems. We'll be on a houseboat tied up in a cove probably within 5-10 miles of State Dock / Jamestown.
You'll find more partys than your liver can handle...I didn't run the poker run last yr beacuse I was too hurt from Friday night!! :p After the poker run most of the "go fast" crowd takes a trip to the Dam (about 10 miles) to crown the unofficial king of the lake. 110 Octane is not a problem to find either, available right at State Dock. They sell lots of it for this run....:2purples: ;)
