Tahoe Trip 2.....8/18-8/26

[grads2112]

A few of us have rented a house in the Keys up in Tahoe for the week of August 18th-26th and I just wanted to see if anyone else will be up there at this time or if anyone is interested in going. We are talking about trying to get the same helicopter we had earlier this month for a photo shoot but also maybe puting someone with a good video camera up in it. I'm sure everyone has seen the pics from the last trip and saw how incredible it is up there so don't miss out this time. I've had a few people approach me and say that they want to go but they don't feel there boat is big enough...don't worry about it. As long as you watch the weather/wind conditions you'll be fine. This should be another great time. See ya up there.

we're in for Sunday the 19th through Wednesday the 22nd. Ericka's going to take a few days off work. Didn't know about the possible copter shoot. Definitely in for that!

I will be up there until about the 22 when I leave for Vegas. Glad to be a part of the KINGS production. Who do I talk to about making sure my boat is leading all the rest in the video and pictures?
Chris:) :) :)

After talking to a few people it looks like I will try and book the helicopter for 11 a.m. Sunday August 19th. If you guys think another day or time might be better let me know asap. Did I mention I'm springing for the helicopter, all you have to do is show up with your junk.

[Poker Runs West]

Sunday would be the best. I will know after this weekend if the pro video guys will be able to shoot for us.
If you want to see a some different boating action take in the Sac pot luck Friday night on the American river before heading to Tahoe. Always a cultural experience...............................

wow Greg, that is generous of you. Ericka and I will make a donation to the cause. Ericka will check tomorrow if her co-worker might be available to video. He used to be a new 10 cameraman and has a smokin' video camera.

[Napanutt]

Damn...If we didn't already have a houseboat reserved for Shasta the 23rd thru the 27th,we'd definitely take you up on the offer...

[Fastlane]

Just got back from Tahoe yesterday, Hope you guys have better weather than I did. We had high winds for the last three days of the trip.

There are a few different places to rent through:
I've found some really great deals through these guys http://www.tahoeaccommodations.com/index.htm
There's also this company http://www.tahoevacationguide.com/TKR/tahoekeysresort.html
And last but not least there's this company http://www.tahoestonehenge.com/
contact Lost Wages on the boards here because he owns the Wild Goose house that these people rent. Maybe he'll give some kind of kool-aid DCB discount since he owns one. :idea: maybe I should rent it and pepper it with Eliminator stickers...lol

Greg, I invited everyone in the delta that I saw during my event there. I'm figuring we will have about 50-70 boats..................
Chris:) :) :)

[SSTahoe]

I might have my shop queen up and running by this friday so maybe I will meet you guys up there......

[MRS.TA]

We will be there.17th-20th School starts that Tuesday:)

Okay, the helicopter and Jason the photographer are booked for Sunday, August 19th at 11:00 a.m. I am still looking for someone to videotape the boats so if anybody knows anyone that has a decent video camera and would like to go for a free helicopter ride over Lake Tahoe please let me know. Also, if I could get a list of people that are going or PM me and let me know that you are going to show up that would be great.
Oh and one last thing... this IS NOT an event! It's just a bunch of peeps getting some cool pics and video of their boats on a beautiful lake.:D

[John.]

Ericka's co-worker said that he can do the video shoot for $500 for 8 hours (including drive time from Sacto). so basically that gives us about 4 or 5 hours of Tahoe video. He is a former New 10 camera man. He said that he can do video from the helicopter, do shoots from the boats, he can attach his camera to a boat to get video back at the driver and can do interviews and so on all for the $500 of unedited video. for another $500, he can edit the video and put it to music.
Are folks interested in helping with the cost to do the video? This is still just a group of friends getting together...so if we have someone who wants to shoot video for a free helicopter ride, that's probably still a better deal.

You're kidding right, you want someone to ride on a helecopter and film boats. You get the camera and I'll drive up and film it.

[John.]

Alright, Ericka says that we'll pay for the camera man. we'll check his sample video tonight and if its okay, we'll hire the guy to shoot the video in Tahoe.

WHAT'S A PEEP? Sounds like an event to me. Do you have all the necessary permits for the hot tub coitusstimulitusorgasmatron device, errection of the stripper pole and nitros oxid inflation of Judy?
Looking forward to another adventure on Power Tour 2007.

It's looking like it is going to be a great day! We are fortunate enough to have an Emmy award winning video guy shooting the boats. We will be meeting out in front of the Tahoe Keys around 10:30 on Sunday to wait for the helicopter and then running for the better part of an hour. The video guy will then shoot the boats from the water for the next couple of hours. When it's all said and done he will go back to the studio and put the video to music and make a DVD for everyone.
