    Default New Labor Day 2015 Venue

    Just checking if there is any interest for a Labor Day gathering.
    Location: Hickory Knob State Park in SC just west of McCormick, SC on Strom Thurmond/Clarks Hill Lake bordering SC/GA.
    Lake is 70,000 acres, 1200 miles of shoreline, 3rd largest man made east of the Mississippi. From the south dam it's approximately 37 miles north up the Savannah river and approximately 25 miles west up the Little river.
    Hickory Knob has 70 lodge/motel type rooms and 18 one bedroom cabins, full service restaurant on site for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only one or two other restaurants on water.
    Boat ramp and and 2 separate docks within walking distance of lodge, plenty of other marinas available for gas.

    Let me know.

    It's been a few years since anyone did a labor day weekend event when it used to be at Lake Eufaula, just wondering if not enough notice given, location, other obligations or something else? Thinking ahead for next year.

    It's about 35 minutes from the house depending on what side of the lake you are. I keep the ZX on the Denver side. I live on the south side of Charlotte.

    I'm going to be planning this weekend trip for next year because the lake was so nice and think its a good location for a group of Donzi owners to enjoy their boats.
