Smith mountain lake

[MadPoodle]

thanks for the call stan. Sounds like fun for sure. Nothing that a 3200 mile airplane ride can't cure. Any idea of dates ?

Will you have the home depot pace boat ready by then ?
:d

fify..

Yes the "Home Depot" express will be done by March, but will probably bring the 18. Ghost is looking for a hotel and we will reserve a block of rooms. Also there is a camp site. The lake is large with plenty to do for everyone. There will be NO fees and we are not taking responsibility for anyone. Just bring your Donzi and have safe run. We need another run beside AOTH and Chatt for the southern boats and Lake George for the northern boats. This lake is in the middle and would be great if we could get them all together.

Do you promise to fix the valve seals and rings before you bring it ?

I hope not! It's a whole lot easier keeping track of him with the smoke show. Too much potential for stealth rooster washdowns if he isn't blowing oil smoke.

Reasonable, off season rates if in May, boat launching, slips and verandas...

Looks perfect ! Have you looked at this ?

More importantly,

The majority of the south shore of the lake lies in Franklin County while a small portion, including access to the dam, lies in Pittsylvania County. Bedford County makes up the northern half of the lake with the Roanoke River as the dividing line.

We have to sort that out, otherwise it will be like Jamestown, KY 10 years ago.

There is plenty of places to buy booze around the lake, so that should not be a issue plus many rest./bars on the lake to boat too and get booze if needed....

The Westlake Inn is a nice place have seen it from the water and looks nice but have stayed at this place in the past http://www.marinerslanding.com and its an ideal place to stay, has great dockage nice rooms/condos, reasonable prices, bar/rest. on site, pool, beach for kids, etc...... This is the place they run there Poker Run out of in May.

My family and I have been going to SML for a wks vacation the last five yrs, the first yr we stayed at Mariners Landing loved it, now the last four yrs started renting a house on the lake for the wk not too far from Mariners Landing. Mariners Landing is on the better end of the lake in my opinion (dam end)....

Depending on timing in August I am in for this run.....Also trying to get a small crew together for the Poker Run in May....

The Flowerpot would make an appearance, if I can find it....

Find the Flowerpot or the lake? I can draw you a pretty good crayon map if it's the latter, but if the boat is buried under 4' of snow you're on your own....

He can find it, but can he get it up the hill?

Hey, if anyone wants to see Smith Mountain Lake, a few folks from the board will be there with boats in late June, staying at the Westlake Inn (http://westlake-waterfront-inn.com).

I'm heading down Thursday, June 26th and hope to arrive in the 6-9PM range. Will be staying 3 nights, leaving sometime on Sunday.

Nothing organized, just hanging out and making it up as we go, checking out the lake. However, feel free to mention my name to Liz and they should give you a $120/night rate for all days, saving a few $$ off the regular weekend rates.

The Inn is 100 waterfront rooms, slip included with each, and parking for trailers. Come on down, the more the merrier.

The boat, the boat, not the lake! I actually touched the Beast just a little while ago. All good. 63 here in Kentucky, today, so I took a run around and checked up on all of the water toys.

Looks like things are shaping up for a nice run at SML. Happy to pitch in...
