Re: Arkansas Get Together

Just set the cruise at 55, that should get you 21 or 22.

.....at 45mph I can squeeze out 20. While traveling thru the mountains of WV a couple years ago the computer read 85mpg.....in nuetral going down the mountain for 3 miles.

We don't have to beg for us guys to get-together. The biggest incentive we have is just getting together with some wonderful people and lasting friendships. We really enjoy each others company. :D

Enough of this "us" Floridians/Georgans. I want to see you guys enjoy the felowship we do. In our last two get-togethers we only planned on food and drinks. Everybody does what they want, when they want. Some of those pics we can't post.;) The bystandards, not members of iboats, were amazed of how we met on the internet, not knowing each other, had a great time as if we knew each other for years.
Good luck guys. Enjoy!

Will do, and thanks for the input. That's kind of what I was thinking as well. There's just no way to coordinate lodging, etc. in a situation like this. Once we decide where I'll provide what firsthand beta I can and then we'll just let it unfold. Maybe have a couple times set to meet up on the water. One of these days I'm gonna bring the girls down your way Sasto. Don't have to twist the admiral's arm very hard to get her to go to the Sunshine state.:cool:

I tried this once before and it foundered pretty quickly, but I'll try it again.

Nah, Swabbie. 2 there, 2 back. I want to be in good shape when I get there. But I somehow think we won't need any rest keeping up with you guys, since you've been coop'ed (pun intended) up all winter. :p

Rereading my post in the light of day it did come off kind of harsh didn't it? :redface::facepalm:

My sincere apologizes Captain. (And any others I might have offended)

Had a REALLY ugly day yesterday. (Tax day)
Had to scramble to come up with a bunch of cash, forgot about some capital gains taxes on some stock my Mom left me.

But after spending the evening with my friends Sam Adams and Jim Beam it's all good now. :D

Edit: And I did refrain from making any nasty comments about how those tax dollars will be spent!

That would be cool, lncoop. We have everything needed here to keep the whole family happy. Plenty of free lodging for your family in the summer, and the beach is a short walk. I won't go into it to avoid seeming boisterous....but....some think this is their paradise. It's mine. :D

No worries, Swabbie. I didn't take it that way at all!:cool:

I would like to see this get together happen. I know you guys will have as good time as we are having. I made some aquaintances here online, we decided to get together, they are now good friends that I cherish.

Re: Arkansas Get Together

Hey Arkies!! Why not join in on the reindeer games at my hut this coming June? This will give you the opportunity to meet the peeps you've been jabbering with and decide whether or not you really care to do it again. The drive won't be that far and there's plenty of things to do around here id you tire of our company after the first hour. Bring the kids. We'll have a bounce house, a pool, and a live band. First beer's on me.

If you show up, you will be back again for the next one, that is how I got caught up in this group and I am glad I did. :D I have made some good friends that will be around for quite sometime. Come on Arkies, join us, you will not regret it.

I'm all for it. Been a while since I've been on ouachita. Used to go alot when I lived in Bryant--be a bit of a drive for me now--but no biggy--I'd pick a nice island and set up camp.

Re: Arkansas Get Together

Sasto says the drive from there to here or from here to there will be four days. :facepalm:

Never mind....you know what I mean. :rolleyes:

19 hours one way? Heck ye Swabbie. I can't imagine doing anything these days for 19 hours straight. Too dang young to feel this dang old! :cool:

Hey lncoop. I saw in another thread you are getting some money together for fuel for us. How is that coming along? ;)
