Chattanooga-Tennessee River Gorge Run, 7.31

[The Hedgehog]

I am working on 20-25, just to be safe, from a food pespective. Drinks? Double it.

I talked to the A dock folks. We have a large metal grill. Jamie will start it for us during the run if we like. I will probably throw in for food for another 15 people for goodwill with the A dockers. It will be a good party.

I have a 6' table or two in the Dog House, should I bring the pop up tent?

I think that we have a big assed tent.

I will check on the tables. We should be ok, but I need to ask.

I will snap some pics this weekend.

A dock is a prototype version of the Redneck Yacht club. These guys perfected the art way before the song. Parts are hard to explain and parts are easy. These guys have basically taken over a peninsula that juts out in the marina. The neat thing is that you can park right in front of your boat. They have everything from folks that stay on 29 foot Bayliners to a nice Ocean Alexander (but he just either left or got run off). These guys Jamie and Bobby have been around for a good while. Jamie has a tiki bar and a hot tub in front of his boat. Bobby has a garage with a flat screen, bar, commercial ice maker fridge, etc. Before moving to A-dock, I was cautioned many times by both the marina staff and the cliques from other docs. They were pretty wild in the day. Some paranormal activity still happens. I have found them to be a nice bunch of folks that have a good time. I don't regret my move.

Rules on A dock.....

1. Drive slow. We do not want you to run over the dogs. People are on their own but the dogs are important.
2. Drive slow. Feel free to shoot firearms and streak, but drive slow.
3. Drive slow.
4. Drink lots and be sociable.
5. Be prepared to eat lots.
6. Bring loud boats. We all know that this can **** people off in some marinas, but at A dock it brings a round of applause. 80+ mph drive by's on the lake are encouraged.
7. Drink lots
8. Drive slow (once again, cars not boats)

How long is the dock and do I need to bring my electric chair AKA scotter chair? Walking still not up to par.

Griz, everything you need is no more than 100 feet or so away at A-Dock. But, you might want the scooter to get to your cabin, which is a little further off. Hedge, chime in here.

I do like those dock rules and they are spot-on from my first visit down there. One more, people with attitudes can leave, unless that attitude includes saying hello to everyone, drinking what is handed to you (this one caught Bill in a big way when somebody handed him a tumbler of white lighting OMG), and paying attention with respect to the fly-bys!

Saaah-lute!

Tower, request permission for fly-by. Maverick, this is the Tower, your request is denied. Maverick to Tower, that is an affirmative and thank you... BOOM!

OMG, I almost forgot about the white lightning. Wait, I barely remember after that anyway, pretty much lights out after that.

Grizz, where did you get the cabin?

We will probably hang around Tex's boat a good bit for the local. It is about 5 feet away from the parking lot.

[MadPoodle]

Drive slow, Max will be out n about, he's a sociable kinda dog....

Griz is in a floating cabin with me. I envisioned Donzi taxi service between the cabin and A-Dock for him. Griz, maybe bring your scooter and leave it at A-Dock for use "as-needed"

[Donziweasel]

Will Grizz's scooter be available for the severly inebriated that have temporarily lost the ability to walk?

[Donziweasel]

Tex, hold off buying that liquor till I get there. I want to throw in for the booze since I can not really bring anything...........

[BUIZILLA]

50-50 on me not bringing the motorhome... Janice is unable to attend... that's 1900 miles at 7.3 mpg..
