Have you ever seen the waterskiing squirrel?

Let's get him!

Oh wait...he's already booked.

Suprisingly water level is typical spring level. Docks are above the water, no floating boat houses, etc. But....MY BOAT IS NOT READY YET.

[jl1962]

Have you told the boys they get nice LGDC shirts when the boat is done???

That oughta do it.

30 boats would be cool. Can we pre-buy/stockpile fuel? Y'know, a strategic petroleum reserve!

[Rootsy]

[mattyboy]

[mattyboy]

So do I run with the 22's or the big power segment of the Poker Run?

Dazed and confused, but I think the boat will be ready for LG!

Really looking forward to it. First time.

Todd it will be great to see you again, you run with all of us for the entire run we are counting on the bigger boats to pave the way as we make it up to the narrows then the little boats will take the lead and it will be like a harley run one pack of loud hounds from hell and you get a guided tour so when you are out there sat afternoon or sunday morning you are comfortable on the lake just watch out some of the woodies on lake george are 90 mph boats
you will have a blast it truely is a wonderful place

Todd,

let me take ya thru it
1. get a lake pass for the week available at beckley's, chic's , the outdoor's man

on Sat morning( make sure you are full of fossil fuels there is a gas dock across from the capri treasure cove beckley's or chic across from the algonquin check with Dr Dan on fuel usage for a bbc 22 then you''ll hop in the boat and make the 5 mile jaunt up to the algonquin you'll dock get to see everyone and see the boats have a light breakfast drivers/safety meeting everyone will fire up the boats the run will form up infront of the island infront of the algonquin the first leg will be the rare uncommon classics the minx criterion hornets and the like a lead boat will be choosen and will lead the run down to the village like an 8 mile run to off the village docks all the rare boats will be up front and the 16 18's 22's will fall in behind them the flag ( lead boat will get it's card first then the boats on the lead for that leg will get their cards then everyone else, the flag will be passed to the next leader which will be an 18 now all the 18 will run up front to stop 2 about a 5 mile run which will be the stop where yours truely will be handing out cards and the same procedure will be taken for the cards and the flag will now be passed to the 22 which lead the run out onto the big deep end of the lake and up into the narrows like a 10 12 mile run to stop 3 then while up in the narrows where the water is calmer the flag will go to a 16 and they will lead the run to stop 4 then the flag will be given to the big boys and the lead boat will lead you to stop five and then back to the algonquin to play the cards have a bite to eat vote for the owners choice and the judges will finalize their cards for the boat show categories and by like 1 pm you will be free to roam the 32 mile lake you just covered some head north some head south some go to the village some just keep the hammer down then at 6 30 - 7 pm we will meet back at the algonquin ( no boats this time and we will have dinner the show results the poker run results the trivia contest the raffle/auction and a gran old time then sunday we start it all over again with a full lake run if you want to lead then lead then we meet for lunch and back on the trailers or back onto lake if you are staying til monday you will run your boat hard and you will see a great lake

we have built in a few safety's on the formal run so we don't loose anyone and no one passes the lead boat this is a new format we might use it again or we might go on to something else to keep it fresh
and i know you if you want that early morning rooster tail ride the lake is there waiting the lake grows as the day goes on and hopefully we will not have a substantial wind out of the north
