Annual Gorge Run in Chattanooga!

[The Hedgehog]

June 14 - 17. At Hales Bar. There are cabins avail so book them! The dark side has spoken to me, this is the right thing to do. The rule is.....there are no rules!

[BUIZILLA]

_in_ :sbus: :bbq::boating:

[MadPoodle]

In! :bike3: :grill3: :camp: :boating::willy:

[Lenny]

Oh my,... Deneen thinks it is cool, so do I, we love the place, but will miss the secadas and their "song" , but Catfish and an evening that goes for 3 days with the gang and Jamie and the Captain ... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... we are looking for something to do. New York was last weeks flavour, but is too expensive ( $3K ) given the air temps and fly time and Lake Nazis everywhere etc.

Hales Bar has no "law" to speak of , ... much like here... I feel comfortable there other than the crickets for sale at the corner store, ( kinda creeped me out )

WE ARE 75% in at this point in time.

:)

[MadPoodle]

Send Deneen, she's not skeered of gazillpedes..... :grin:

[The Hedgehog]

I will try to keep The Captain out of the crickets (those two as a combo would be even worse)! He has been put on notice. I am expecting an appearance from him.

Bobby, Jamie, Garth, Greg and crew are ready. The hangout has been enclosed as a tiki bar and we have yet another smoker.

For those that have not been yet, expect long distances of high speed cruising in a very scenic area. The schedule will not be very regimented. We like lots of time for socializing. A dock is the hub and EVERYONE loves loud boats there. I like the Friday run to Goose Pond and Sat to Nooga.

[BUIZILLA]

i'm thinking Thursday we NEED to lock through, and head north from Chooga... haven't done that yet :big:

[roadtripse]

Just seeing if anybody is paying attention, only kidding. All of this noise actually inspired me to go find all of the various pieces of the boat. Still there. We'll be ready. Now, you really want to have some fun, let's put the Captain and the Godzilla-pedes together in the same room. Lenny, you would have nothing to worry about in that scenario...

[Ghost]

We expect to make the trip.

[BUIZILLA]

We expect to make the trip. u better bring your boat...

[The Hedgehog]

The Captain - Zilla combo frightens me. That says a lot.

SE, maybe you can get Phil so stop by to hook up the Formula behind the motorhome!

The trip to Chickamauga is a pretty one. That is a nice lake. It would be worthy for a Thurs trip. You could stop by downtown and have a bite on the way back. I like Guntersville for Friday because it breaks everything up nicely.

The trip would be great for the wooden Cig

LOL, you're booked.

[Buddyc]

The floating cabins look sweet! seems like a real good time, Wife and myself would love to come. Would it be torturious to even think about it if my boat isnt ready. ( and probibally wont be)?

[MadPoodle]

No, actually it would be inspiring, so do it man!! Plenty of seats...

[Ghost]

Cabin booked.

[Bertram Boy]

I'm in!!!

I just haven't figured out how to get a boat there....yet.

[BUIZILLA]

:w:

[Sweet Cheekz]

FYI Cliff. You hook your trailer to your truck, haul it a 1000 miles then let Jim drive it to Alabama

Easy

Parnell

[MadPoodle]

Not sure Cliff has a boat anymore. I heard he hadn't paid his storage bill and it was sold at auction :willy: :willy:

[Bertram Boy]

Well Parnell...I've been working in Louisiana, and one of my boats is in Connecticut, and the other is in Miami. What to do, what to do...

[Donzi Vol]

The Vol will be there. A couple inciting pics from last year attached.

Thanks for organizing, Hedge! Let me know if you need any help from up the road.

[The Hedgehog]

Nice pics guys. I need to dig up those pics of Dre and Stan airing it out on Sun!

[Sweet Cheekz]

Well Parnell...I've been working in Louisiana, and one of my boats is in Connecticut, and the other is in Miami. What to do, what to do...

Perplexing problem Cliff Guess buying a different boat and having it delivered would work or riding with others would be an answer Good luck with that See you there

Parnell

[MadPoodle]

He doesn't have to worry abut the on that WAS in Miamuh... Think "Storage Wars" :grin: :bye:

[Last Real Texan]

:ca9:

Hey, you said that you had legal title!!!

[MadPoodle]

In Tennessee I do...

Just don't take it to Connecticut...

[Bertram Boy]

Now you guys got me thinkin'...just where DID I put that ****ed title??!!!!

On a side note, I think I "found" a Donzi here in South Louisiana... so I may not be coming boatless...

....hmmm

[Trueser]

I have room......

[The Hedgehog]

I have room......

You coming? Awesome!

[Bertram Boy]

.

[LadyGrizz]

I've got my left foot in...kind of depends on a few other things...we'll see.

[Donzi Vol]

Hope you can make it, Barb!

[Trueser]

That is the Plan........

[The Hedgehog]

Nice. It is a large time.

[LadyGrizz]

Got my little Rustic Cabin reserved. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Sweeeet. Hey, neighbor! (Lisa and I have the other one.)

[Bertram Boy]

Mike you don't need a room anymore than I do...

...it seems that A-dock has the invisible force that keeps us up 'till 4-ish drinkin' and hanging out on tailgates...

[Ghost]

LOL, good point. :)

[The Hedgehog]

They are ready at A-dock. I can see having several drink machines going. At least two. I have Marg Mac on my speed dial!

[Team Jefe]

OK, been working the angles and trying to figure how to get there. The big issue for me is the boat..... to do this I have to fly in, I just have too many other things happening in teh summer to take the time needed to tow The Revenge over there.

So, Can I count on open seats for an excellent Deckhand, and Gas Card Provider?.... I think I know the answer, but have to ask.

Also, does anyone need a roommate. I'll be flying solo and would be good with sharing accomodations. Be arriving Mid-Morning Friday.

Thanks;

[roadtripse]

I keep hearing about a Donzi deckboat brigade, so I am sure there will be a seat on a slow boat(maybe even a snack too), and most times there will be a seat on a fast one as per usual. You want to be there Thursday night, because the ride south on Friday is a big part of the weekend! Oh, and if you wanted to leave the Revenge after AOTH and drag it back after the Gorge Run, we can work out the logistics...

[MadPoodle]

I think I'm offended you felt you had to ask.... :grin::grin:

The other Scott

Proud slow boat Captain

[MadPoodle]

Oh wait, you were really checking to see if the gas card provider would have a seat, cause we know your deckhand doesn't have to ask. Now I understand!! :bye: :peace:

Make your way over here and we can make a pretty cool roadtrip out of this....

[Phil S]

Jury is still out on RV-launching-boat contest (not that I stood a chance anyway), but 99.9999 % certain we are "in" either way. Booking both a floating cabin & RV spot just to be sure. Bringing RV (my parent's unit) up from Florida in March. They can't use it anymore, and it's been sitting for quite awhile. Lots of things to check and go through towing / safety-capacity-wise. It'd be nice if I find she's ready to pull a boat there, if not, we're good with floating cabin arrangements, back of pick-up / tail-gate (probable no matter what we drive), etc.

I have good "connections" in the towing industry, so I feel certain we'll get there somehow..like it or not.:grin:

[BUIZILLA]

lemme know where and when in Fla in March, maybe I can meet ya and help ya out

[pmzoner]

The First Mate and I stayed in Chattanooga last weekend after picking up the new tow vehicle in Atlanta. Very cool out of the way spot.
Talked to the managers, parking the boat behind the cabins couldn't be cooler.
They are a bit rustic, so says the First Mate! But the River looks like a great place to let some Donzis get aired out! :big: On a side note, the Si Fy channel did a special on Hales Bar and how the place is haunted!!! Rum and Ghosts!:grin:

[Phil S]

Thanks Jim...very much appreciate the offer. Way up North from you though...arctic territory of Ormond Beach. ;) Again, thank you for the offer to help though.

Phil

[BUIZILLA]

we'll prolly have an informal DMRS gathering in Taveres in March so try and schedule it then, I plan on taking my coach as well, happy to help you and give you some pointers... but the black tank thing is totally on your dime :)

[Team Jefe]

Unfortunately Fuzzy, I am one in the same on this trip...so yeah, I had to ask.

Trip and Cliff are making things interesting, will need to mull over my options, but I think the Fraternal Association Of The Hawk is setting this up as a committee meeting weekend, so we will focus on the "new" boat Brother Gero has. Still, a trip over with Cliff and Di is doable. AND I'm always game for some Slow Deckboat Cruises...with refreshments and...other....delicacies:big:

FAOTH..... Long live the HAWK!!!http://www.donzi.net/forums/images/smilies/yes.gif

[Last Real Texan]

Im in....
going to be fun, my project will not be done, but i will be there in the slow blue boat!!!!


now when am I going to find time to get working on my project???


Tex

[BUIZILLA]

WHAT project ?

[Last Real Texan]

all I can say is it is worthy of the Texan and is over the top.....

[MadPoodle]

Drove over the Chickamagua the other day.. Looking good!

Had a few fols ask me at AOTH about bringing kids. A-dock is kid friendly, and with Carter as your guide WHAT could go wrong??



As far as stuff to do with your kids, there is a TON of things to do and a an awesome museum and aquarium surrounded by excellent restasurants, pluss dozens of other attractions.

[Sparks5501]

I have been wanting to take our boat there on our first little cruise. This will give me an excuse to go and meet other Donzi owners. Later I will post pictures of the restoration we did on the main cabin.

[Sparks5501]

We are here already anchored in a cove near the bridge. This is our first run. M/V Roundabout. 2000 Z275 donzi. On my cell so don't know if my signature came thru. How nany will be here?

Is there a Gorge Run happening now?! (Organized somewhere else? FB? Sure don't see it here.)

Hope you all have fun.
