Thanks for the update Mike, see you guys there!:rock

Already have vacation, glad I guest the date right.

Whats the best place to stay?

I have vacation time booked too........... looking forward to it!

yep me too

We're in. Gives me a drop dead date for the rebuild :laff

There is a new place on the lake we are going to be talking too about being part of the weekend. If everything works out rooms,boat slips,meetings,parties,the whole deal will be in one spot. Worst case we run it just like we have in the past and folks can rent houses on the lake or stay at one of the two hotels that give us discounts for the run. The parties, meeting ect will be just as they have been if we cant strike a deal with the new spot. I will update the website and forums as we begin to work out the details. All that aside, we are looking forward to our 4th year and a great run.

I am in.:smiley-with-glasses

Oh chit, there goes the neighborhood.:)

I spoke with Steve M. (Roostertails & Cocktails) last evening about this run and think I'm going to drag my junk south for this weekend... It looks to be exactly 8 hour pull from my office in Northern Virginia to Lake Murray SC.. Not exactly around the corner but not hateful either!!!
I will see as we get closer to the date to confirm!! Be nice to get some fresh water on the Cig!!

Pat

Think you guys would really enjoy the run Pat. Awesome group of people and a layed back environment. Just dont wait to long to rent a house, they go quick!

TJ

make sure you can make the Friday raft up it is a great time :rock

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Don't want to wait too long, any update on this new Hotel so I can book rooms?
Let me know, if not can someone tell me where to rent these cabins so we are near the action?

Thanks Pat

Havent met with the new place yet, we have been jumping through hoops to make DNR happy so we can get the permit approved. Heres a link to cabin, and homes on the lake for rent and a hotel we can get group rates at. The hotel is not on the water, only about a 10 min ride though. Sorry for the hold up but we have just had some issues with some of the changes. I will update as soon as I can.

No problem... Just want to make sure if we decide to come that we are where all the action is. Let me know when u can. Thanks Pat

I sorry for the poker run site being down, I know a few folks have been trying to get accommodations info. The site is back up but still being updated. If anyone needs anything please feel free to send me a msg. The dates an accommodations on the site are correct. We are going to update the stops and lake map after changes are final. Friday will still be the Beach raft up and party, Saturday will still have the Boat Drags. We are changing a couple stops and may be moving the Friday night and Saturday night parties to a new marina. We are trying to improve and make the run bigger and better while also keeping our local DNR happy. Thanks for every ones patients and again my apologies for any confusion.

DILLIGAF posted on FB that the new Liberty Restaurant and Marina is hosting the event and I saw they are advertising for help so looks like it will definitely be opened for this year. I'm not sure about availability of lodging there, but Mike will be posting more here I'm sure. Looking forward to seeing all of you T Lake Murray.

Ben "forabeer" and I got the last cottage at spinners this morning! We will have are girls with us! We have been talking about going and we sealed the deal now! Looking forward to doing the run!

cool you are gonna like it

Sounds like going to be a good showing from the CPBA crowd......looking forward to it here

Website has been updated some, we have printable registration forms up,our new sponsors are on the site, link to last years pics, and some general information on the meetings/ awards parties. We will have aerial pictures again this year and the drag boat races after lunch. New host on board for the parties is allowing much more dock space for folks to show off their boats. We will do one more update to the site as soon as I get some answers on a couple things I want to add.

This is a view of our host for the Friday night and Saturday night meetings /parties. Grand opening is today! Also check them out here.

Nice

Very nice. Got some time on the boat today, I might make it :laff

Updated our site with some more info, and dont forget to get that registration form filled out and mailed to us. We are hoping to make this year the better than the 3 prior years. Im sure with our new host on board and with all the docking it will make for a great time for all just walking the docks checking out the hardware.

The second link is for rental houses on the lake, a good many folks have done this in the past. Give us a shout if your having trouble finding something and we will see what we can do.

I know where NOT to stay!!! :nutkick

Which is....?

my registration is in the mail.......

You got that right

Can you loan me some $$$ so I can register?:dunno

Has anybody asked if that Marina Bay will do a weekend rental? It looks like they are rental apartments anyway.

I'll probably just stay at the Hyatt again.

This is always one hell of a good time. We haven't missed it the past couple years and if my rig is ready in time we'll be there again this year. At this point, I'm probably annoying the piss out of Mark Rinda to have my motors done in time, but it sounds like we may be cutting it close. Brockman, I'll keep you posted if we're gonna be ready if you & Jenny still want to ride along.

They are not as of a month ago. We have a meeting coming up with them just to walk through some things,I will check on it. There is still some construction going on so I wouldnt bet on it, that may change when complete. I was hoping they would so folks could just walk to the parties. It would be nice to have a resort with vacation rentals like that on Murray.
