can we get a lake condition report?

We were there over the weekend. It rained the entire time, so we didn't get out on the water. But I did talk to some folks who had been out, last week. Typical spring time conditions, so you have to be careful, but no big jams reported. The lake is at 710' and rising, which is 30 feet over where it was last year at this time. Target pool is 700-705 for this year, but with all of the rain, I doubt they are going to get it dropped by AOTH.

Summary? Mixed bag, as it always is this time of year.

Hey UT, did the grumpy old curmudgeon commit?

Getting close now...may be time for the first reminder that the marina is in a dry county. If you want to drink it, you'll have to bring it in with you. Re-supply is an annoying drive away.

Also, the marina is right on the time-zone border. Which means bouncing among cell towers, come set to Eastern and others set to Central. If you want to avoid having your phone sneakily shifting back and forth an hour (and all the confusion that can bring), you may want to set your phone to fixed Central time rather than auto-update while there. (The event schedule is given in Central time.)

I heard no one needs to bring beer as the cooler in your boat will hold 40 cases !!!

But wait until you see this cooler.... billet, expert welding, fitted perfectly to the hull, insulated, and plumbed with its own draining system and check valve. Some people put their money into foolish things, like me with 5-blade props, but the Ghost has got his priorities straight. That is going to be the coolest, cooler you have ever seen. It's too bad there isn't a People's Choice Award for Really Cool Coolers at AOTH, because Mike would absolutely own the category. Seriously. And way.

I'm just glad he is coming to Michigan and taking the Cig to AOTH, so Brian can finish the custom GT hatch refabrication project for the Flowerpot some time soon.

LOL, it's all tradoffs. When it started, I wanted a walk-in cooler...

Jamestown Resort says page not found when you click on the webcam link. Just wondering if there is an update that maybe hasn't been installed on their website? Nothing like seeing everyone coming and going during the gathering. Hope to make it down Thurs., but can't stay the whole gathering. Thank-you everyone!

I got the same thing from the webcam link on the Jamestown Resort website. But their webcam is up and running here: http://www.lakecumberland.com/lake-web-cams/ (I had given up looking but Roadtrip knew where to find it.)

Ghost and Roadtrip. Getting lazy in my older age I guess. Simple searches will lead you to anything you need now a days. Lets get this party started. Just 5 days away!

I heard the run this weekend was a complete disaster as a couple of boats almost sunk,drives got torn off ,ect in Chatt. Hope that Poodle and Jim go out infront to inspect, so that the speed freaks can have a safe blast off with out hitting submerged logs. With all this rain and stuff floating down river, you will need to be careful as it would definately ruin your day and your wallet !!!
