Title: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: phil on September 23, 2010, 04:29:09 PM: Hi everyone, as one of our first steps in planning for a 2011 or 2012 reunion we would like to start finding out where are members are located so that we can narrow it down to a central location. Also, could you please update your location in your profile if you have not?

I'm in Milwaukee Wisconsin and I would probably attend with my Dad and brother who are also located not far from me.

Post by: er0578 on September 30, 2010, 10:30:32 PM: I'm in Dallas, TX and have a brother in Missouri on table rock lake. Both of us have skiers. I am working on gathering some info and locations to have it on Table Rock Lake in Southern Missouri. Chris Craft does an annual meeting there in June. I am going to try to contact their organizer to see what cost would be to mimick their cruise. You can read about it on www.heartland-classics.org (http://www.heartland-classics.org).

I think that's still up for debate. I guess it all depends on how many are interested...

Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: chrisheile on October 06, 2010, 02:48:16 PM: Redid the map, Center Hill Lake TN would be almost exactly center (as drive time goes) for all of us. It would put Mike and me at about 10:20. I will look at some North/south alternatives and repost some map pics.

Post by: keehr22 on December 22, 2010, 05:37:55 PM: I'm in for TN! Stationed at Fort Campbell, KY, real close to Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. Kentucky Lake has several good sandbars and 5-6 places to dock and eat or drink across the lake. Rented a cabin last summer for a family vacation at Buchanan's Resort, nice place, and affordable. They have a decent Marina, fuel, and restaurant on the resort. Also, a floating bar across the bay has live music on the dock every Fri/Sat/Sun.

Another option is a trip down the Cumberland River. There are a lot of resorts on Old Hickory Lake, which is 30 miles or so upriver of Nashville. You can pass through the locks for a day trip to downtown Nashville. There's docking for 15 boats or so downtown, along with some pretty cool views along the way. The nice thing about being close to the river is those of you who look forward to early morning glass will have it most of the day on the river.

Post by: Joel on December 23, 2010, 04:40:03 PM: Like I said... I'M IN!!!! TN is a nice central location to have a 1st Annual AM Skier gathering :) What do we have to do to make this happen???
Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: Ericelgin1 on January 02, 2011, 10:45:09 PM: Start throwing around some dates...
Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: keehr22 on January 03, 2011, 06:08:03 PM: June 3rd through June 5th would work for me, that's making it 2 nights, Friday through Sunday.

July and August can be pretty rough here, between the humidity and temps in the upper 90's, usually see temps in the 80's for June.

What do you guys think?

Post by: keehr22 on January 03, 2011, 06:25:41 PM: Here's some pics I dug up from last summer's family vacation to Kentucky Lake, this is one of the beaches on an island about 15 minutes from Buchanan's Resort, unofficially called Budweiser beach, good times!
Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: Joel on January 03, 2011, 06:37:53 PM: I have two kids in school till June 8th and Momma wants to go too! Fortunately, the whole family skis so the weekend of June 10th works for us and any date after that if work doesnt get in the way - damn work is always a pain... :P

Lets get this thing rolling!!!! Spring will be here before you know it... 8)
Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: keehr22 on January 03, 2011, 06:49:58 PM: June 10th sounds good to me. Also, the pontoon in those pics is a rental from the neighboring marina, pretty fair at only $150 a day.
Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: phil on January 04, 2011, 11:03:05 AM: I would prefer Kentucky :) One thing is sure for me though. I cannot attend end of July or early August. We are expecting our 2nd child.

Post by: ReJeK on January 12, 2011, 01:29:45 PM: Lake Martin, Alabama
Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: Mike Harry on January 13, 2011, 07:14:19 AM: Ive already stated lake martin Alabama! But the fact of the matter is, unless everyone wants to actually camp..... at wind creek, there is really no place on the water for us all to stay. Thats where Id love it to be though.

There are 2 or 3 of us here from the lake martin area, (im from but not living around) we should all get together sometime..... Im usually up that way 1 or 2 times a summer
Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
Post by: ReJeK on January 13, 2011, 08:09:22 AM: Wow that is awesome!! I am from Alex City, but I live in Millbrook now. We do all of our boating on Martin, and that is where my boat stays. I would love to meet and see some more Skier's on the Lake. I'm restoring mine now and have lots of questions!!
Title: Re: American Skier Reunion, tell us your location.
