Perry Lake (KS) - June 18

[Crown w/ limes]

Sounds like there are quite a few MWBP'ers planning to hook up in party cove at Perry on Sat. June 18th. Who all is in?? All are welcome! I imagine we'll do the same thing as last time, hang out all day on the water, then go to Ump's sportsbar (on the lake) for drinks & grub around 7:00'ish. [smilie=061.gif] [smilie=061.gif] [smilie=061.gif]

[TFLB]

Myself and Baja Chic are in [smilie=071.gif]

[Stress Relief]

[smilie=042.gif] Shannon and I will try to make it!

Pete

[AudioS Girl]

Josh and I would love to, but we have a wonderful weekend of weddings. [smilie=1381.gif] We hope to come out on Sunday.

[Tempest38]

I'm gonna stick my head out and say I'll be there. May be alone and need a little ramp help but hopefully I can drag some Wichita people along. Oh, I forgot. Treehuggers...

[BajaLuvr]

We are going to try and make it. Need to find someone to watch the kids first, but we are going to try. Never been to lake Perry and we want to try some different lakes. [smilie=061.gif]

[Tempest38]

a wonderful weekend of weddings

In some circles that would be considered an improper sentence [smilie=whip]

[crownie02]

Blondii and I are kicking the idea around. CWL, give me some info on where I can stay(on boat or off) and that kinda thing. How long of a drive is it from omaha? Have to make it back for fathers day on sun.

[Christian]

Laura talked about it, but it is fathers day weekend, so I must do the dadly thing once this summer [smilie=265.gif]

[TFLB]

Ok Colleen can't make it now, her days off that weekend are Thur, Fri. Josh here is a link to Perry Marina http://lakeperry.iboats.com/. I think Eddie and Lil K are thinking about coming down. I think it's 2.5-3 hrs from Big O. We usually just rent a slip at the marina and stay on the boats. There are very few covered if any slips available this year.

[bconley]

My wife Calley and some of our friends will be their. I would love to tie up with you and meet some of you. We were out at Perry the last time you all were their but we were tied up at the end to Josh (a good friend of ours who I belevie some of you have already met). Being at the end I didn't get the chance to meet a lot of you but hopefully on the 18th that will change.

They usually do, Luvinlife272 or whatever he has for a boat this week comes down too. I imagine if he's off he and Jodi may come down. F4L and Hemi have been a few times as have TopE and 1finern so maybe they all will.

bconley, look foward to meeting you.

Don, we hope you can make it!! We'll be glad to help you at the ramp if you need it. And hopefully some of the other Treehuggers will come along, too. :lol:

Ok where on the web site do you rent a slip? How much is it?

[Crown w/ limes]

Ok where on the web site do you rent a slip? How much is it?

Talk to Brian at Perry Marina - (785) 597-5555. You can't rent slips online, unfortunately. They DO have showers. Slips are $25 a night (covered, without elec.) and $20 (uncovered, without elec). Electricity is avail. for $5 more. Hope this helps!! :lol:

[partyhawk]

Jill and I will be there..... [smilie=061.gif] Will also be there this weekend 6/11 & 6/12. Oh fritz we will be there every weekend [smilie=071.gif] ...

[Tempest38]

hopefully some of the other Treehuggers will come along, too.

Gonna work on prying them away tonight at Wednesday Prayer Meeting [smilie=249.gif]

[ksucat99]

Bring shower shoes and T.P., the facilities get pretty nasty on weekends.

[big bry]

[TFLB]

Yes we have a Party Cove there too. Usually a few hundred boats there on a hot summer weekend.

Awesome! Well now you all have to talk Crownie02 into coming to the lake instead of going to MN with his friends. He is still trying to decide. Come on Josh.... boating season isn't long enough [smilie=265.gif] [smilie=071.gif]

[bankerron]

We will be there!! Oh hell....like Partyhawk says we are there every weekend!!!! :mrgreen:

[Tempest38]

Looks like myself, WetWillie and his Queen Thing will be there and may even have Paka and the Mrs talked into bringing their Brand New Thursday Night boat to Perry. [smilie=071.gif] [smilie=dancing.gif]
What's the best guess at a plan? Friday night hit the town or ???????

[TFLB]

Don I think the Bar at Perry will have a band Friday night. Are you sleeping on the Boats?

[Tempest38]

We, Wet Willie, Queen what's her face and myself just got back from the Quarry at ElDorado, got rain,wind,hail,and 4-5' swells. But we were there. Where was everybody? Oh and we're heading to the the truck from having one on the dock and Christian and Brian show up to work on the boat. From the size of C's cooler he must have a LOT of work to do.
Let us know the plan, WW brought the boat home from the lake for the trip. IS everybody going Friday night or Saturday. Is there a leave the light on close by? We just want a cheap hotel.

[BLONDII]

We are thinking of coming down Friday night... going out... not sure where we are sleeping unless we put the boat in the water and sleep on that both nights... then boating Sat and coming home Sunday morning.

[Formula 4 Play]

If I'm not mistaking it Fathers day week end. Noelle and I are out.

Have fun. Maybe next time. [smilie=042.gif]

[bconley]

Everyone still coming to Perry? Heard the water is extremely high.

[BLONDII]

Is that bad?

yeah we are coming down Saturday early morning.

[Crown w/ limes]

Everyone still coming to Perry? Heard the water is extremely high.

I hate to say this, but I think we'd best wait until Thurs. to make the decision on getting out on Perry this weekend. :roll: The water is WAY high - the Corp. of Engineers isn't letting any water out until tomorrow, because all the rivers are high, too. We'll have to see if it's low enough by Sat. to boat. All the ramps are closed at this point.

I'll keep everyone posted - we're going out there tonight to check it out. I'll try to post some pics. Baja Dave was out there last night and couldn't even put his 29 back in the slip, the water was so high. :roll:

More info. will follow. Don't everyone give up just yet!!!!

[TFLB]

I'm going to check on it today, it's 11 feet over normal pool. The ramps and parking lots might be under water. I'll let everyone know.

Wow really. I just spoke to the marina to reserve a slip and they said the weather looked good for the weekend... and we shouldn't have any problems.

[Crown w/ limes]

Hopefully by Sat. morning there will have been enough water let out that it will be fine. We should know for sure by Thurs. night / Fri. morning how it will be Sat. :lol:

Caire,

Get some Photo's. I love that stuff. [smilie=1074.gif]

[ksucat99]

You can still launch at Perry with the water this high. In '93 I used DJ's "ramp" when the water was up to the entrance road. Also, don't forget about LPYM's ramp that bypasses the normal low-lying entrance which was under water as of yesterday. It's behind the shop and is a straight shot down the ramp. They usually leave it open, however, if it's closed I'm pretty sure they'd open it up if someone asked. That being said, be sure to ask about parking so you don't get towed should you not be able to park in the state lot. Good luck...glad I don't trailer!

[bconley]

Good point!

[Crown w/ limes]

We just got back from visiting Perry over lunch - yep, the water's high. :roll: We'll post pics tonight. There is still a ramp open, however - Slough Creek. We didn't get around by DJ's to look, ksucat.

PartyHawk and BajaDave, your boats said to tell you hello. We saw them in the lot on their trailers 30 mins. ago. :lol:

[BLONDII]

Hey Carrie do they announce somewhere if they let water out?

[Formula 4 Play]

I was talking with Eddie about your high water. :roll: If you guys can't boat there you can come up to Omaha, [smilie=trink39] The river is great. all cleaned out and lots of water. And Ed said Carter is looking OK. It's a three hour trip.

Make sure you have an open ramp before every one starts driving down. I would hate to drive three hours and the lake is closed. Wait! What am I [smilie=106.gif] about I can't come any way. Never Mind! :oops:

[Crown w/ limes]

We were thinking of moving the party 30 miles south to Melvern Lake IF Perry isn't in good shape by Saturday. My hope is that it will be fine for boating by Saturday morning. :lol: But thanks, Bob! We'll plan to get up north to Carter Lake in July or Aug.

Everyone check back on Thurs. afternoon and we'll have an update on how much water has been let out.

Carrie, I don't understand???? Dave couldn't back into his slip because the water was too high??? The dock's float.........right? I don't get it??? Maybe he couldn't get in the water because the ramp was closed.........but in your last post you said the ramp is open???

[ksucat99]

The main drive to the ramp between the main marina entrance and Pirate's cove is under water. I'm guessing Dave forgot about the LPYM ramp that's behind the shop. Dave's on our dock (C) and as of yesterday everything was fine, except you had to wade through the parking lot to get to the dock. Still had power as of yesterday afternoon as well.

I heard the same thing as Carrie about letting water out. I chatted with the folks at the marina and they said if the rain lets up the Corps was planning on opening the spillway tomorrow. You can check the status of the lake here:

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/cgi-bin/daily.pl?site_name=perry

[Baja Dave]

Ok, I tried to put the boat in last night and Slough Creek was the only ramp that was open, but the wind and waves were so high at that time I didn't want to risk dinging the new boat... Big chicken:) The docks at the marina are fine right now except for having to wade or swim over to them so hopefully by this weekend they should have let enough water out to have cured most of the problems. P.S. Carrie did you kiss my baby for me and tell it I wasn't trying to neglect her:)

[luvnlife275]

Holy chit!! I bet Eddie wished he had a high water problem.

[TFLB]

I went up today and yes the ramps are flooded. Like purplecrap99 (Rock chalk jayhawk) says the bypass is accessable now. I went to the Corp office today and they said the will start releasing 2000 cf per second I believe, tommorrow then 5000 on thurs and 8000 starting friday morning untill the lake comes down to 2' above normal pool where they want to leave it. Several ramps should be open by Saturday morning and no rain is forecasted.

I say GAME ON!!!!

I need to check this forum more often, I just had over 3000 missed posts. Robyn and I will try to go out on Sunday, but we have to go to 2, yes 2, weddings on Sat. People need to quit getting married in the summer.

[Crown w/ limes]

Saw Pat & Tara today and they will be there...............hell they are going thursday.

Scott and I would enjoy meeting up with anyone who wants to have drinks at Blind Tiger on Friday night, but we hadn't planned anything specific. If anyone wants to join us there, just PM me. Otherwise, we'll see everyone on Sat. at the lake. :lol:

[bankerron]

Lake will be fine guys we put in deeper than this. D.J,s looks OK to put in Perry Marina will be a problem. I say game on also!!!! Just don't put your drives all the way down pulling off the trailer. That is experience talking after a $1100 dollar prop incident!! [smilie=1381.gif] [smilie=1381.gif]

[Sheriff]

Hey Don and Wet and Queen J. Hope to see you all tomarrow at chilibaby hubby's birthday. Didn't know we had a chance to go to perry hadn't checked this thread and missed a few weds. sry. Let me know if you dont make it tomarrow.

As for wading threw the water to get to the dock :shock: Be Careful!!! I hope their electrictiy doesn't have a short anywhere, or a frade wire!! [smilie=106.gif]

As for the lake on Saturday............I have a huge Funeral on Saturday morning and a wedding to go to Saturday afternoon and evening. Sunday might be a possablity but I'd be in my REDNECK RIDE the Camo Pontoon!!!! [smilie=headbang] And as you all know if I take it out I have to wear my cut offs, a sleavless Camo t-shirt, with a matching Camo hat!!!! [smilie=rocker]
Just so all of you can [smilie=hah] at me!!!

[Photochick]

Wish we could be there! I've yet to visit the infamous Cheney......I don't think Zen wants me to :roll:

[Spa Guy]

Is there any motels near lake perry or cabins on the lake?

Closest Hotel is probably Topeka. C/limes would better be able to tell you.

[partyhawk]

Well , hell and high water,that is going to keep us off the lake for awhile. Spun a main bearing, motor is being pulled today or tomorrow. Don't know how long we will be down and out. [smilie=1381.gif] Hope you all can get on the lake, still pretty high at perry. Have fun and be careful. [smilie=042.gif]

[brew_crew122]

drove past the spillway last night and they were finally letting out. heading up tonight after work to TRY and get on the water :roll:

[Crown w/ limes]

Is there any motels near lake perry or cabins on the lake?

There are several Bed & Breakfasts near Lake Perry. One is available this weekend and runs $136 a night, which includes dinner AND breakfast. The people that run it are very, very nice and it's about 10 mins. from the lake. The other B&B still hasn't returned my call so I don't know if they have openings tomorrow night or how much they cost.

There are lots of hotels in Topeka, but the closest one is about 20-25 minutes away from the lake.

Hope that helps a little. If you're interested in more details, PM me.

[Crown w/ limes]
