Now that we have settled on Hales Bar as the Gathering, I am proposing a River Run 2010.
With all the homework several of us did to find a Gathering place, I propose the upcoming River Run to do 2 things:
1. A great scenic cruise with fellow builders
2. Scope out future possible Gathering sites.
As much trouble as we gone thru this year for a site, we should have contingency sites in some sort of database for future reference. Chattanooga is centrally located for the most travellers so let's use that as a base area of excursion.
I am proposing a River Run upriver on Thursday prior, to lock thru Chickamauga in the A.M. Explore Chickamauga Lake for sites/marinas/State Parks. My research as advocate for Chattanooga revealed a whole lot of marinas on Chickamauga lake. There is 2 parks, 4 marinas, with ramps within few miles of the dam. Scan the area and the marinas just keep on going on and on. Of all these, one is probably a good site to investigate.
thurs evening lock back down river to Chattanooga and stay the nite there, perhaps on the DQ. there is 3 ramps near the DQ to investigate.
Friday return to Hales Bar for the Gathering.
Anyone else interested?
Thought I'd bring this back up towards the top again...probably need to make reservations at the DQ if some of us are meeting there Thursday night like last year, either on the way in or after running up from Hales Bar. That sure was a nice night and a great way to start out the weekend...Bruce, Hot Rod, Dwain, Ray, Ken??? Who else???
