Bob & Linda Smith are in floater#6.
Karen at Hales Bar said the cabins have been unblocked so...... Sign up if you haven't already.
See you in September
(first recorded by the Tempos in 1959, later by the Happening).
Looking forward to the fellowship, food and fine boats.

Even if you think you have a reservation, recheck and make sure. They had me as the holder of about 6+ cabins, which I released yesterday. I have no idea how they thought I was holding a block of cabins. I never made any such arrangements. So if you think I am holding any reservation and you are waiting, better check now and hold your cabin by credit card IN YOUR NAME.

Roberta is right. From the beginning, we have held that we are just a bunch of people going to a lake at the same time. Don't want to beat a dead horse. We are all responsible for ourselves. Glen-L endorses the Gathering. But, they are not responsible for anyone.

I know that sounds bad. But, the moderators and organizers can't risk a bunch of up front cash. We do have a little of a kitty. But, it's not a lot of front money. We'll be trying to replenish it some this year.

Please, call HB and reserve a cabin.

I ran into the Roberta held cabin issue a month or two back when I tried to make my reservation. They said they didn't have cabins, but if I knew the name of the holder I could get one. I guessed Bill, then Neel, and struck paydirt with Roberta!

Katie and Bob Brandenstein are in floating cabin #7

Bill,
Floater#2.
My sophomoric sense of humor just couldn't let this pass!
Somebody stop me!!!!!

[Bill Edmundson]

If anyone has a problem, just let us know. Hales Bar is pretty good about working with us. We'll make it happen.

Bill,
What's the launch time for the river run?

[Bill Edmundson]

Bob

I think we left about 10:15 to 10:30. That put us at the restaurant about 12:00. But, that's 1:00 in Chattanooga.

Bill, I will take care of organizing the River Run on Friday, 9/19. I have the phone numbers for the restaurant and the marina in Chattanooga. I think 10:15 (Hales Bar Time) is a good time to depart. That should get us back by 3 or 4 PM. I will make the lunch reservations on Wednesday the 17th so I will need to know all who plan on going ahead of time. You can use this thread to indicate if you plan to go. Many of the boats will have extra seats if you don't want to take your boat or if you will not be taking a boat to the gathering. Last year, some came by car and met us at the restaurant. I would like to know if you plan on doing that as well so I have a fairly accurate count for lunch. For those who haven't made the trip, it is a beautiful ride, about 35 miles or so, down the Tennessee River to Chattanooga. The weather has been great the last two years and the river was like glass. Let's hope for the same this year. Neel

Count us in for the run.
Bob & Linda Smith
PS: Hope the ramp isn't as slick as last year!

Neel

Thanks! And, everyone is welcome! We'll find a way. I'm not sure which boat or boats I'm bringing. So, I may have my thumb out. I think Lauren may come up on Thursday with me and want to go on Friday. Last year I think we ended up with 25-30 at the restaurant. This is a lot of fun. Ya'll Come!
