Hey Eddie.............. how was your trip in July?
It was awesome. We had quite a bit of rain over the weekend but didn't dampen anything a whole lot. There was group of about 75 people there with about 30 different boats. All CC except my AS and one really cool Hydrodyne OB.
Secluded is an understatement. I'm driving into it and see a caution sign that says extreme curves and steep grades for the next ten miles. Holy Crap!!!! They weren't kidding. 180 degree hairpin turns on 15-20% grades uphill with a boat in tow was not fun. Then you do the same thing downhill after you get to top. By the time we got to the cabin, you could smell the brakes and they were hot. I'm telling you if you don't have good brakes and a strong tranny, you'll have a hard time making it. That last ten miles was almost a 45 minute drive after being on the road for 12 hrs.
Once there, the scenery was incredible, the company and the boats were awesome. The water was great but the weather made it less than desirable at times. Still found more than enough water to barefoot until you just couldn't hold on to the handle anymore or your legs and feet were completely numb. Or both.
The worst part of the whole weekend was the walk back to our cabin from our covered slip on the dock. It was literally about 400 yds. and all uphill after you got off the dock. It was brutal after being on the water all day. The resorts floating dock is probably 300 yds long by itself. It's HUGE.
In retrospect, probably not a great place to have the reunion but a very cool place to see if you ever have the opportunity. There was only one small restaurant. It had good food but that was literally your only choice. We brought all of our food and drink with us so it wasn't an issue at all. The nearest grocery store is a half hour drive to get to it. Gas on the dock was reasonable considering the conditions. 93 lead free octane for $4.43/gal. and you pull right up to the pump.
I wouldn't hesitate to go back
