Perry Fall Party 2010

[BDM]

August 13th and 14th.

Enjoy the weekend everyone! Looks like Jamee and I won't be attending this one...:(

[John P]

If the lake is still at 15 ft over pool we won't be there either.

[bsloop]

Friday Aug 13th - Sun 15th (for those that ARE going and can HANDLE 3 days of fun [smilie=crazy])

As of Wed 7-28, gates are back open at 3k and down to 14'. no debris to speak of. ramps are open but parking is not as easy as normal levels.
Now if they would stop dumping water from Milford at 7-8k which is now down from 16' to only 7' over.......:roll:

Perry will be fine regardless, it has almost been nice as it has cut down on the infrequent, less compentent boaters, those left generally know what they are doing.

Yep... we can't handle it, that's why we won't be there. :roll:

[Nauti Nemo]

Is anyone going to be at the fall Perry party or should we cancel our cabin and find something else to do? :confused:

Just need to know so we can get the ball rolling if there will be no boats, boobs and beer [smilie=trink39] [smilie=eck02.gif]

[John P]

Matt is going to keep an eye on the water level and let us know, if we can get a ramp open so we can get the boat in we will be there.

[ksfuncpl]

We are out, must attend wedding that weekend. Have FUN!!!!!!!!!!

[Scarab Babe]

As far as I know we will be there. If we can get the boat in at the State Park.

Seems like these Perry parties are dwindling down on attendees the last couple years....

You're such a bad girl Julie. [smilie=011.gif]

[ttownmatt]

You can get to Party Cove with no problems, we went last weekend. As of this A.M. the lake was at 12 1/2 feet over pool and letting 7000 cfs at the spill way.
John i did see a friend launch thier 33 in the federal boat ramp last sat. but there is no dock in the water.

[Scarab Babe]

You got my number.... :mrgreen: :twisted:

I got your email addy, too!! :twisted::mrgreen:

Thanks Matt!! I had just heard the rumor a couple weeks ago that since they were working on the bridge they weren't going to let boats go under it.

What about the State Park ramp? How does it look? I guess if they're letting out 7000cfs a day it should be good by the 13th, huh?

[BDM]

I got your email addy, too!! :twisted::mrgreen:

[USMC1371SGT]

Perry Lake Party Cove is open as Sloop said. He's out there every weekend as so am I and a lot of local Perry boaters from LPYM and Rock Creek Marina!! No need to worry about the water level at this time!! It's draining as a few boats in the Slough Creek area found out just overnight!! [smilie=hah] When they woke up, the boats were sitting on the ground and had to be pulled back into the water!! Most, I say most docks are back in at the ramps. All of the out of town & out of state boaters, we are all looking forward to seeing ya'll for the MWBP Fall Party at the lake!!! [smilie=042.gif]

LakeRat, why aren't you guys going to make it up this way??

[sfriesen]

If anyone has a cabin that is canceling, can they be transfered to a person of choice? I procrastinated this time around and I would sure like a cabin.... I hate tents....

[Lakerat]

I have rented a condo at Loto and am going there every weekend through September.....I have the investment with the rent, boat is in the water in a slip..I really want to get the feel of Loto before deciding if I am going to purchase there or not......As you know, I have not missed an event the past three or four years, since we started this.....It was a difficult decision.....I am positive I will be missing out, lucky for you all, I will not be embarassing you this time.....have fun, post pics.....Live Life to the fullest

[Chunkiedunker]

The dock is back in at the Slough Creek ramp not sure about the rock creek ramp. The number for the Perry Lake office is 785-597-5144 so you can check to see what ramps are open.

Steven - no worries - got ya covered! I'll text ya here in a bit!

[cabin fever]

were out this year. We were on the fence, and had to wait to see what happened.

Our son qualified for State 2 weeks ago (BMX). (same weekend as the party) If he does good that weekend, he qualifies for Nationals.

Everyone have fun, and be safe. We plan on making it back down to the loto for the harbor hop. Hope to see everyone then.

[nhra888]

Next Tuesday is my 40th Birthday...On Friday my Sexy wife and I are driving my happy ass to Lake Perry from Columbia, MO. to see friends, drink beer, and get the party on. [smilie=trink39]

( although friday there will be a pit stop at the Topeka Harley shop [smilie=headbang] )

[ottopedlr]

[Nauti Nemo]

Getting ready to cancel our cabin at Perry 8-13 to 8-15, Cottonwood cabin in case someone needs one.

[John P]

Getting ready to cancel our cabin at Perry 8-13 to 8-15, Cottonwood cabin in case someone needs one.

Why would you do that?

[Nauti Nemo]

Had to rearrange the weekends at work so we could go to other events. Don't think there is going to be to many people at Perry this time around.
There will be next time...... [smilie=042.gif]

[Scarab Babe]

With everything that's going on nowadays and so many people cancelling this trip... I wonder if we shouldn't make the Perry Party a once a year thing.. We do have more people traveling to Perry more often during the summer now. And maybe do a gtg at a couple other lakes (ex. Milford, Melvern) during the summer, too.

Any suggestions?:confused:

Julie - I'm SOOO gonna miss you!! [smilie=106.gif]:( Sure you don't want to change your mind?

[wwmkwood]

I'll second the Milf idea

No changing our minds now, If I had a job where I didnt work weekends then I could go everywhere!!! Have a dance and going to Wilson lake this weekend with some great friends (was going to work), Will work Perry weekend and the next weekend after that, then go to Loto shootout with Jeff and Crystal. Never have been and we are excited. Besides that I have to fit in my girlfriends birthday party, a 50 year anniversary reception.......:shock: Oh and by going to the shootout I do not have to do the dunk tank at a carnival!!!!![smilie=crazy]
Hope we see you soon Kristi.....miss you [smilie=106.gif]

I have been watching the thread, it started on a sour note then blown out and bantered to two pages.
For those on Facebook, I see this no different than any mass social invite, (since this fourm is open to the public its even larger).
There will always be more "not comming" and "maybe" than ATTENDING.
The fact they felt the need to post their absence, I inturpet as they really wanted to go but could not and thought they would be missed.

Yes, there are some of the old timers that were fun to see but people move in other directions and there are others that I guarentee will take there place to make new friends to have fun times and crazy stories.
I know I have several [smilie=crazy]

Although I was not part of the founding of the Perry GTG, I have attended since fall 2006.
I dont know the original reasoning for a spring and fall but here are some reasons the gtg are successful.....

There is a large membership base in the KC metro and those comming from points West including Omaha, Wichita etc that Perry is less than half the distance and drive time over better roads.

The lake is large enough to support fast performance boats but not so large a fuel budget needs to be planned like LOTO.
Two Large marinas with active Bars are more than any other lake to the west or north for a 300 mile radius
Multiple on and off water lodging choices from 3 bedroom cabins, rooms on the water, full service and primative camping.

Perry offers intimate chances to meet other boaters on the site. LOTO is so large, people are spread out.
Those with less boats than 25' can feel comfortable on Perry anywhere, anytime. We all started small and some can only dream big so it is fun to see additional big boats visit.
Big boats, even if you are not the MOST spectacular at LOTO, come on over, you can be an all star for the weekend for sure.

Perry GTG Friday's have more boats in the cove than "THE Party Cove" on Friday of Memorial weekend [smilie=trink39]
I know there are many more people, both on the site and non active that are looking forward to a great upcomming weekend so for those wafflers out there, I DARE you to come and see how many boats show up :twisted:

BTW, I want to see a return of the "Power Lap" before coming into the cove.
If you got something, push the sticks, make some noise! Hang a left and make a clockwise loop, approaching the cove from the East.
(dont go too far out, there is standing timber, and set down to not wake the coved boats please [smilie=042.gif])

[bsloop]

As of Friday morning the 6th.

Perry, currently 9' over.
All roads are open, LPYM parking lot open.
Most higher water courtsey ramps are back in.
Almost no debris but keep eye open. Watch out for those rock breakwaters just below the surface at both marinas and Slough creek.
Gates have been closed for couple days due to Iowa rains filling MO river but should be opening again today. (Tuttle went back to releasing 7k and Milford 2k, Thurs)
We were dropping 9"+ a day before so I expect State Park ramp to be open by late weekend/early week. (they close at 6')

There were more boats out last weekend than I have seen in 6 weeks.
More in the cove and TONS of recreational in the main channel.

[Scarab Babe]

Nicely spoken, Sloop!! And so true!! We have been going since the fall party of '06 also! And like you, we've seen many new arrivals at each gtg and a few not make it. I'd love to see the Naked Nebraska crew come back!!!!

If you're out this weekend, please check on the State Park ramp for us and let us know how it looks?

And just so you know, I wasn't trying to stop the Perry gtg's, they're always fun! But it is nice to go to different lakes and check out the water and scenery!! [smilie=eck02.gif]

We went to Melvern a couple weeks ago and got pulled over by some locals. We talked to them for a good hour, and they'd LOVE to see some of us down there and hook up with them in a cove. Very nice people, all the way around. [smilie=042.gif]

[floatsmyboat]

Although I am not a big poster I do check the site quite often and follow the events at Perry with great interest and also enjoy all the info I get on the LOTO having several friends with houses there. Because my ride does not handle the LOTO on most of the weekends Perry is a very good lake for us being only a 45 min. drive. If you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch, well PERRY IS MY PORCH and have not missed a weekend a the lake in 2 months. Most of my boating friends look foward to the MWBP's at the lake as much as the big weekend's at the lake and the one weekend to leave the kids at home, party,see some very nice boats we don't usually get to see and bring a peice of LOTO here. But there is nothing like going to the real thing just can't go often.
I have boated Perry for over 25 years and am still meeting new people nearly every weekend and most are very nice people.

That said I am looking foward to a great time next weekend with about 10 boats comming from our area that I know of.[smilie=042.gif][smilie=trink39]

You can easily get into either marina ramp.
Some seem to not like the long ramp at LPYM so you might prefer Rock Creek if you dont mind the drive.
State Park ramp is still closed to my knowledge.
Gates are back open to 2k this AM, expecting more later today or tomorrow.
Its Dawn's birthday this weekend and things are gearing up to get CRAZY, boatparty may have a tough act to follow [smilie=crazy][smilie=trink39]
Stay TUNED for more info :mrgreen:

[Lakerat]

I hope to be back, please take and share the pics and stories. It is going to drive me nuts not being there. I ask that you not talk about any stupid stuff I have ever done while at Perry:roll:

I'll find ya brother. Look for 36' Maxum with two brown and white sea-doos anchored behind her. Named "Bill Me". We will be out early but might not pull in until TTown and Susie get there. Or might just be the local jackass that breaks the line. That always gets Matt excited.

Damn it, I was hoping no one would notice if I was not there. We had to do some rescheduling with Julie's work so that we can go to the Shoot Out at LOTO. I would love to be there.

John P.....ummmm just who's the Naked Nebraska Crew Scarab Babe is reffering to?? :confused::twisted:

can't blame you, that's a good trade off! the PP is fun, but it's not the shoot out!

[wet-vette]

As of this past weekend the water level is way from what it was a few weeks ago. i just started to going to Perry Lake this year and Saturday was my 4th time there so bare with me. The bridge that crosses over by Party Cove is CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. this is the bridge that comes off 24 highway that crosses the laes to get you to the Slough Creek Park boat ramp. Again, the bridge that crosses over party cove is CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope this helps with travel plans everyone....

[Scarab Babe]

the weather forecast is looking good for the party though, looking forward to a good relaxing weekend! [smilie=trink39]

Relaxing???? :confused: It'll be good, but relaxing...ummmm, I think not!! :twisted:

[John P]

Had a good tome at Perry this weekend.

State park ramp is closed but people were still putting in, I wouldn't!
Rock Creek has the ramps back to 2 wide as of Sunday.
Looks like the water is still going down so by next weekend we should be looking pretty good.
We stayed at the state park and there is a lot of talk about the party next weekend so I guess we can't let them down! [smilie=trink39]

[Scarab Babe]

Awesome John!!! Can't wait to see you, it's been too long!

[John P]

Awesome John!!! Can't wait to see you, it's been too long!

[Scarab Babe]

I have to work untill noon Fri. I do not know about Susies schedule yet we will let you know.

I will have to work at least part of the day, too. So we're thinking early evening, unless I can take off early.. depends on my boss's mood..:mrgreen:

Can't wait to see you guys again!!![smilie=trink39]

[Chunkiedunker]

The water was clear for Perry, didn't see any trash floating in the Slough Creek area. sounds like the party on Saturday kept some people from coming out Sunday. Took off Saturday hope to meet everyone this Saturday and Sunday. Look for "Just going Down" that will be us. 24' Ranger pontoon

As for what Sloop said in an earlier post, last weekends party for Dawn is going to be one that is hard to beat, even for a MWBP!! Everyone had an AWESOME time thanks to great friends!! [smilie=appl]
Can't wait for this weekend to do it all over again!! So no need to cancel or change your minds, Perry is always a GREAT time!! See ya'll soon!! [smilie=042.gif]

SLOOP, good posting btw!!! [smilie=trink39]

[baja22]

We will be down Friday night lets have a get together and get the weekend started off right.

we'll be out friday, our cork is ready for this weekend. brought it back from lake El Dorado when we came home from the lake sunday.

[Guitar Man]

We're in!

Richie - we'll miss you. We love seeing you here.

Wichita crew - we'll miss you too. Your lack of attendance reveals your obvious fear of being out-partied.

Naked Nebraska crew - we'll miss you too. Your lack of attendance highlights what we've always known - that our girls are prettier.

Bryan Sloop - the voice of reason.

[Lakerat]

The Wichita Crew Pre-Parties better than anyone group out, well used too back in the day......I look forward to the stories and Pics......I really am going to miss being there, sharing Apple Pie, listening to the Carpenters, and enjoying the Boob Tube.....my gosh I have had alot of fun at the fall trip.....I am happy to see the weather is going to cooperate.......LIVE LIFE Share the fun

We should be there when you roll in!! And yes, we're putting in Friday late afternoon/early evening. And we're thinking a nice little El Dorado style "Booze Cruise" may be in the works late Friday night!! [smilie=crazy]



eldo is back in full swing.. we're bringing a few friends from the south, but b-dock isn't coming this time.

B-dock will be represented!! The Loose Cannon will be here![smilie=appl]

And Richie...we'll do a toast in your honor! [smilie=trink39] Still won't be the same without you there, though!! :(

So now I'm going to have to dig out my Carpenter's Greatest Hits CD, blow the dust off it, and rock out with Close to You!

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you.

Good News - Corps plan to open Perry up to 6k later today!

Perry is currently 8' over but increased flow should start dropping it about 9-10" / day.
Most ramps and parking are back into usable shape with the noted exception of State Park which is significantly impacted at levels above 6'.
State Park ramp should just be getting back into the game by our Fri/Sat arrival with the projected release!

As mentioned, Ferguson Rd south of Slough Creek ramp is closed so an alternate route / ramp will need to be used if you usually head north out of Perry and launch at Slough Creek.
LPYM ramp should be usable from its normal entry point, otherwise drop in from the top. Ignore the "ramp closed" spray painted sign. (good alternative to Slough Creek)

Both marinas have some over night slips available if you dont want to trailer in and out.
Perry Marina - $25-35/nt w power/water
limited covered under 28'
several end tie and finger tie locations for boats up to 40'+
Rock Creek - approx same price, unknown quantitiy availability.

Check out the Dam Store on Ferguson Rd & 39th for breakfast.

Bar plans -
Dukes at Perry Marina (south near dam) - has DJ's planned both nights with a potential band on the deck Saturday night.
short courtsey dock in front of the bar, otherwise, tie up anywhere there is not a slip reserved sign on Gas dock.

Mulligans at Rock Creek (formerly Boondocks, north marina on Rock Creek arm) - nothing known for Friday, Steve Kile Band for Saturday. Steve is a cove regular and played up there for several years. Show runs from 9:30-12:30 but has been known to play longer with good tips ;)
courtsey docks are small but tie up in front of bar or end tie on docks.

Cove - lets have good anchor sets and get a front and back line going early like last weekend!

TUNE IN to the fun. We are still working out the kinks in only the second week of broadcasting so everyone can jam to the tunes.
Be patient, covering broad genre and generations of music and there is only 60 min in an hour. Every song may not be your favorite but wait, it will change soon. Typically more broad early with dance focus increasing later in the day.
Transmitter is much better than most but still has limitations. It transmits btwn 50-16k Hz so if you have a big system, subs will not sound as strong.
Signal is clean but not compressed like commercial radio and dependent on your radio reception.
Medium volumes should sound good and extend battery life.
It was pretty impressive last week hearing the same music reinforced out of both sides of the line [smilie=trink39]
Lets see those "Power Laps" after you come under the bridge http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t12/triguy29/emoticons/littleboat.gif

Get there early, stay late, HAVE FUN http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t12/triguy29/emoticons/chilidance.gif [smilie=headbang] [smilie=dancing.gif]! [smilie=1062.gif][smilie=5boobs.gif]

[Scarab Babe]

Thanks, Brian!

Question about the broadcasting.. I know absolutely NOTHING about stereo systems... :oops: Can you tell me how this works? Sounds like a great thing, though!! Much better than having several different boats blasting different songs all day long!!

[BDM]

I assume that they're using an FM transmitter to broadcast their own "radio station" that everyone can tune into.... hence having the same music everywhere. :)

[Lakerat]

[smilie=042.gif]Have fun, stay safe, and again no reminicing.....create new stories, that is what life is all about ...... live it and share it !!!!!!![smilie=042.gif]

I too will be toasting to the Perry Party [smilie=trink39]

[Z-Man]

There was a fun gathering of great people last weekend! Hopefully everyone can be there again this weekend. [smilie=trink39]

[dodsone]

we will be out Fri. ,time depends on how the rest of the week goes hopefully we can get out of town early.

[floatsmyboat]

Is it friday yet??? can't wait.
Brian, what do we tune the radio to.

[Tackleshep]

Ok just got back from the lake tonight with the boy. Stopped by the State Park Ramp to check for you guys and the dock is still quite a ways out. If they started 6K today Saturday might be an option but always good to have back up plans. Rock Creek Marina is almost back to full parking space and full ramp. Late and early for fri or sat is no problem at all. 11am-4pm saturday is a hell of a mess, good reason to start drinking early and stay late.

This weekend is Rock Creeks customer appreciation weekend. So Saturday night is fireworks and band, I believe they have band scheduled for friday night as well. There are not a ton of courtesy docks but our slip is on H Dock which is the first long line you see when you come under the bridge. With a couple fenders out you can park quite a few along that dock especially when your going to the bar and know somebody on the dock. I'm in H-1 boat named "Bill Me" if anybody gets lippy just tell them your headed out with us. Matt and Susie parked there to eat Saturday and I think it works just fine. I'll be out there working with boat tommorrow and will try to give a state ramp update tommorrow.

See you all soon.

[USMC1371SGT]

As for what Sloop was talking about when he was "broadcasting" or "transmitting" a signal from his AWESOME stereo system, is that he will put out this signal and everyone close enough might be able to pick it up on a certain station?!?! Now last weekend for Dawn's 40th Birthday Party, Sloop had all boats tune into 101.9 FM!! Now I am not sure if that is the signal he prefers or the only one he can broadcast on?? I was about 8-9 boats down the line from Sloop and I was able to play it out thru my stereo!! The boats tied in the line across from us were also able to pick up his signal as well!! I would say we had at least 30 boats on the same frequency playing the exact same thing coming from Sloop's boat!!!
Stay tuned to future postings from Sloop to see if he mentions what frequency to dial your FM radio into?!?! If not, just pay attention to the rest of the boats that are playing the exact same song and ask them what station they are listening too?!?!
Hope this helps a little bit!! Thanks again to SLOOP!! [smilie=appl]

[baja22]

With a couple fenders out you can park quite a few along that dock especially when your going to the bar and know somebody on the dock. .


you mean on the face of the dock and by the table area? H faces south running east and west right?

[Scarab Babe]

See you all soon.

I also went out and checked on the State Park and Rock Creek. State Park is going to have to come down a TON if we're going to try to put in there. The water is still about 40 feet up into the parking lot. You can just now see the top of the posts on the courtesy dock. You can also get on the Corps of Engineers website for more info.

Marc, Have you talked with the other H-dock slipholders for a definite okay on people tying up to the docks? John's family (the Martinek's) have the last 4 or 5 slips (including Roxy's enclosed 'party dock') and they're usually really good with letting people tie up for a bit, but they really appreciate advanced notice. John is going to call Craig today and see if they are going to be out this weekend.

The only reason I'm asking is because two years ago, during a MWBP g-t-g, some things were stolen from the dock. Not saying it was a MWBP member/guest, but I had some towels disappear and I believe some other things went missing, too. So they're a little leary of complete strangers wandering around the docks.

[Crown w/ limes]

Looking foward to seeing everyone this weekend!! [smilie=trink39] Although will certainly miss you, Ritchie, Sheldon, Julie, Jeff, Crystal, Matt and Jaymee (and others who can't attend). :(

I searched this thread but couldn't see where any meeting spot for Friday night had been determined. Anyone have a plan, or are people just going to meet up at the campground, or Duke's or Boondock's?? Would it make sense to pick one spot for Friday night and one for Saturday night, or is everyone just planning to wing it?

Oh, and I second what Travis said about Sloop's FM transmitter........it was AWESOME last weekend!! Such a great idea.......someone should've done this years ago!! I know, I know, it takes $$$.......and so I want to thank Sloop, AJ and Buster for contributing towards this so we can all enjoy the benefits!!! [smilie=appl] [smilie=appl] Thanks, guys!!

Go past the State Park entrance on Hwy 237 - cross the bridge - you'll see the marina below on the left. Follow the curve to the left - first lefthand turn. That's Rock Creek, that's where you'll put in.

See ya tomorrow!! [smilie=042.gif]

[John P]

We are bringing down Joy's boat.

[Scarab Babe]

We will miss you guys too. Hopefully we will make it out another weekend but doesnt look like it for the rest of the year.

CORRECTION:

I want to apologize if I scared the crap out of John and Kristy. When it comes to Marina parking and H dock you DO NOT want to go to the east side (the side closest to the road) Those are private slips and great folks who have spots reserved and a large party barge built in. You also do not want to tie to the end of the west side where you will see another private dock. The areas available is a large floating dock right in the middle that can easily handle two (normal size) boats--Sorry John.....and then the area just to the west of that (away from the road) we can park a couple behind mine as well. It's not a ton of parking but in the evening there is other curtousy parking closer to the bar as well. I'm sure we will be back in slip before the big partying starts. Boat named Bill Me right by the walkway, just tell and I can give better directions.

[Crown w/ limes]

Do I need it? I was planing on drinking and not driving!

Yep, we'll all miss seeing the BT (and hearing it!!) but you deserve a w/e (or should I say ANOTHER WEEKEND) to relax and let someone else drive. [smilie=trink39] But dang, I'll miss seeing that boat.........guess I'll just have to get my eye-full at the Shootout. [smilie=wowguy.gif]

Dang wedding on Sat. that we have to go to (wifes orders) but we are planning on coming down sunday for the day. Wondering how many people will still be around on sunday or if everyone is pulling out sunday morning? Party hard sat. and have fun

[Scarab Babe]

If the weather is good (and it's supposed to be) we'll be out on Sunday. [smilie=042.gif]

[bsloop]

8am Lake update:

Perry at +6.5' release continues dropping water almost 1' per day so by later afternoon/evening I would expect even State Park ramp to be high but useable! Definately by Sat. [smilie=appl]
LPYM ramp and parking are fully open.

Tuttle cranked up to 16k! the past two days dropping 1.5' on average per day
Milford continues release, only +1' now.



Evening bar gathering; I vote Dukes for Friday night and Mulligans Saturday.

Get those anchors out with plenty of line! Its going to be HOT and breezy today. Can we say "convection oven" :shock:
(minimum 3 to 1 scope = 60' out, MINIMUM)
Saturday, moderate breeze out of North so we will probably be in usually location but have little less protection and if anchors are not set good, will end up blowing the line into shore which causes all kinds of organizational problems. [smilie=011.gif]
I know those on this site are experienced but there are a TON of locals that look forward to this gathering too [smilie=042.gif]

"Thanks" to all the transmitter fans. we can digitally tune to any frequency, try not to interfere w/ commercial broadcast.

Listen early, party late, please dont run engines if you are killing batteries. Noise, exhaust, fuel burn are not worth it. Make sure to recharge down batteries, a trip across the lake will not fully charge depleted batteries.
DO NOT try to charge more than one low batt at a time, you will burn up the alternator (experience talking) :oops:

Looking forward to seeing everyone! The count down is over, let the party begin [smilie=dancing.gif]

[John P]

The anchor deal has been a problem, just because the guy you pull up next too has a anchor out does Not mean you don't have to put yours out.
And dropping your anchor off the front of your boat after you have tied up does nothing, pull past drop your anchor and then back up to the line. Or put your anchor on a float and swim it out 50-75 ft and drop it.
I don't want to see anyones boat damaged, we spend to much on our toys so lets all help out in keeping them nice.

See you in 10hrs.

that's winter stuff!

we'll come in to eat, but the partys on the water..

[Crown w/ limes]

We'll probably end up at Duke's both tonight and tomorrow night. Chris has a DJ playing dance music each night, and a band outside tomorrow night. And specials on UV vodka and bottled beer (not sure which ones). Will try to stop by Boondock's / Mulligans on the Lake tomorrow night but not sure. :wine:

[Chunkiedunker]

Just talked to the Lake Perry office and all ramps are open with the only exception is Old Town at the north end of the lake. Some may not have the docks in yet but ramps are open.[smilie=trink39] So hope everyone has a great time and will see you all out there!![smilie=trink39]

We didnt pull off the water til' 10:30 last night. [smilie=crazy]
Rode out the winds in the cove!
Huge rain drops hitting the water and splashing up, steam comming off the lake with the cool air temps and sun burning though the dark clouds made for an AMAZING experience :mrgreen:

Water was 15deg warmer than air as we sat on noodles, then a rainbow appeared with an end in the water on the East side of the cove. :cool:

Yeah, I would say you guys were crazy for staying out in the cove during that storm [smilie=crazy] - but then, that wouldn't be very nice of me. [smilie=crazy]

I'm sure it was a cool experience, but not for the faint of heart. There was A LOT of lightening and wind w/ that storm. We were glad you guys made it back in safely.

So exhausted from the weekend, feel like we were at LOTO, not Perry. :) What a great time! Hope someone got some pictures........I only took 6 or 7. Too much booze on a 100-degree day too early - I think many peeps forgot to [smilie=smilie_tisc: and now wishing we had taken more.

we drank at kristi's parents house at lake ridge friday with the weather rolling in. we had almost 30 peeps packed in the garage while it was raining with the grille going out back. john P's crew brought the best baked new potato's i've ever had, i want that recipe! we got good and "over served" and started the body painting about 2am sat....
got up and cooked a huge breakfast for everybody (had people sleeping every where!), and then on the lake in the cove saturday, back to rock creek for dinner then we went back out to crank up the tunes boozes cruising til we got rained on about 1:30am.
sunday another big breakfast, loaned my props out for some testing, than back to the cove til about 5.

I thought it was hot when you did it :twisted:, then your dad asked :shock: if he could try it and well I'm glad your mom was in the house.

Mom would have laughed her butt off!!

Did you see me and Melanie dancing with Michell Saturday night? It was a slow dance...both Melanie and I had a pillow to rest our heads on!! :twisted::mrgreen: Then Steven buys $23 worth of $1 jello shots... [smilie=trink39]

Ya I thought maybe I would get to dance that one with her but you 2 weren't moving. So I went and got a drink and cried in my beer [smilie=106.gif]

Did anyone get around the lake enough to get a good sense of how much crap is floating?

Sunday the lake was just about back to normal. We didn't see anything floating all weekend - tons of crap on shore, though!! The smell of the flood waters around the state park was rancid, but once we got the boat in the water, all was good!

Thanks for the reports. We probably won't get out but 1 or 2 more times and it'd be nice if it could be at Perry rather than Melvern.
