Thanks to all that attended the first annual gorge run. The A Dockers enjoyed the company and party.

The raft up this afternoon was fun. It was great to keep Grizz, Lady Grizz and Buiz on the water for another ride.

To those that want a snapshot of the hospitality, I would recommend attending the fall poker run. SE came to the spring run and that is where this idea was hatched.

More pics and commentary will be coming once I get back to the house. I have some awesome shots of Weasel.

I got to meet some neat new people. I hope to see them again.

Made it back late last night. I already miss A dock. Being my first gathering, I definetly had some highlights. I would say these are them-

1. Going 110 miles down the Tennessee with Jim in his beautiful Critter. Saw maybe 3-4 boats running and a few bass fisherman during the entire run.
2. Going 90 mph, what I call "neck fat flapping fast", in Bryans ZX
3. Driving Bill's X-18, amazing boat. It is perfect and needs nothing.
4. Jim taking Lock lifejacket safety VERY seriously.
5. Running up a beautiful gorge with 9 Donzi's, alot of the time running 5-6 wide.
6. Getting Bushwacked on A dock.

Thanks to everyone for making me feel part of the crowd. Great group of guys I am proud to call my freinds. I wasn't hard to find, just look for the really sweaty guy who wasn't Jim.

I have bunch of pics, but here are a few of my favorites.....



"Jim, I think pink Donzi's are pretty", "Bill, I like Kiwi colred ones"



Who is this guy and why is he so **** happy?



What do you mean you can't ride a jet ski in a hot tub?



"quit taking pictures of me while I amtaking pictures of you!" "No, YOU quit taking pictures of me while I am taking them of YOU"



Man, I can't wait to drink them margaritas. What, you mean we came here to eat, not drink?

Todd is right, it is about the people. Got more to say, but have to get to work.

A few more-



"Stan, hunny, my arm is getting tired from holding this hat on for the last hour and a half." "Don't worry Susan only 55 miles to go......"



Man, I'm not feeling to Mojo at this ramp. I think I will wait Bryan out and let him be first and see how it goes with the ZX.



"Baxter, for the love of god man, if I have any chance of the Flower Pot taking on Tex's ZX, you have to go on a diet...."



"Alright everyone, boats pointed all the same way, everyone needs dock lines that are the color of your hull and rub rail screws need to be the same direction before we go to lunch."



"I'll have the fish and chips. Yep, same for me, fish and chips. Are the fish and chips good? They are, I will get those. Fish and chips for me. What are you getting? Fish and Chips? Thats what I'll have then. Hey Weasel, I'll trade you a crab cake for some of your fish and chips."



Ahhh, found the sweet spot. 110 miles at 3950 rpms and I don't give a **** how fast everyone else is going.



"Weasel, I'm glad that dude decided to sack up and cook us some burgers. He had no idea how close his life came to ending......."

Got more.
