I'll be camping the same area maybe a little closer to the ramp.

[at100plus]

That's all I could get. Anyone have directions coming from NJ on 87?

[Potroast]

Blew the rearend on the truck this weekend pulling my buddies race car to the track. Figures. Out of the rumble. But I know for sure I'll be up and running for this one. If someone could give me a little info on what the deal is (camping, rooms, etc.) it would be appreciated.

Sights for lodging and some lake pics
http://www.flipenterprises.com/ - this is the Inn closest (walking distance) to the Saturday evening rendezvous at Sport Island Pub

http://www.innatthebridge.com/ - this is also close to the Pub; docking available

http://www.superior.net/~lanzi/ - nice upscale restaurant with a big deck; casual

http://www.eagleshore.com/ - just some photos

http://www.ReserveAmerica.com/usa/ny/nort/ - NYS campsight; nice lakeside sights
- sights 204 to 213 recommended......214 - 216 are very good but inpossible to turn a trailer around in but with a waterfront sight you could just leave her in. I'm at 207.

The turnout is growing...maybe I'm going to have to do a little more. The campsites are pretty full as well as the motels. May have to travel a little further for accomodations like the Super 8 or Holiday Inn in Johnstown. Me....I'm with Phastboat...wherever my head my lie type of thing.

David, how many people do you have claming to come? I plan on being there and looks like no problems. Charlie

[Liqui-Fly]

Have alot more local interest this time. I can't really give numbers though.

David

[PhastBoat]

You bringing Francis (the fire god) we may need heat.

[at100plus]

Site # 25 with my wife, my Superboat, and Helmut with his wife, son and STV Euro. See you there.

[Liqui-Fly]

Is looking really good. The beaches and islands are finally re-emerging. It looks like the place to meet is going to be at the campsites or at the Northville State Launch.

David

[Tom D.]

There are like NO campsites left, according to reserveamerica. I think I will call them to see whats up. Any other campgrounds in the area David?

T

[eautosales]

[Liqui-Fly]

Where have you been hiding?

David

[at100plus]

How do I get to Northhampton Beach Campground? What town and what lake is this camping excursion taking place on anyway?

[Liqui-Fly]

From New York State Thruway, take exit 27 at Amsterdam, proceed north on route 30 for approximately 22 miles. Turn right at campground entrance sign and continue for 1.5 miles. Turn right again at second campground entrance sign and travel 1 mile to the park.


Northampton Beach Campground
HOUSEMAN STREET
MAYFIELD NY 12117

For more information about the park, please call ( 518) 863-6000

[at100plus]

See you there Thursday the 15th.

[Liqui-Fly]

Turns out there was another S&F'er on the same lake. He's got a gorgeouis Superboat with a 300X. I told him about the get together...he should be around.

David

[eautosales]

ive been here where have you been?
i left you a reply so we could dial in vector you never got back 2 me :( oh well now i have another rig
so what do u think a 84 wellcraft kona with a 88 mariner 150 is worth ?????

[Liqui-Fly]

I told you Friday I think. As for the rig I have no idea. Are you selling that now?

David

[737jetmech]

Hey David, Sorry We can't make this one . Have been very busy with other things. Been running the boat a bunch also, maybe next year??? Bob

[Liqui-Fly]

The one eaarly in the year is the one to attend. This is going to be just a couple of days of mainly hanging out on a busy lake. How did your event go? Did you tear up any big blocks?

David

[eautosales]

whats the motor worth? hulls of that age are ae a dozen:confused:

[Liqui-Fly]

I know a 10 day future cast isn't worth much but next week and weekend is looking sweet. Mid 80's. I'm going to spit out a semi plan for next week. For those that are coming up on a whim my brother-in-law said we were welcome to park our boat up in the barn overnight and hang out there if we wanted to Saturday night. There's a nice point with firepits ect. I'll post directions to it later.

David

[PhastBoat]

When are you going to be at the lake- I was thinking about leaving here Friday around 4PM- instead of sat morning
BTW- found my "running hot" problem

[Liqui-Fly]

Well Mike and Helmut are coming up Thursady..so I'll be up Thursday night and will be there around 6 on Friday. Just meet me at the Marina Friday evening. I'll send direcxtions later. It is basically the same as going to the campsites...just a few miles closer.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

If you are coming up Friday or Saturday and don't have a room or aren't camping let's meet at Miller's Grandview Marina on 342 Lakeside Drive in Mayfield, NY. Before you make the right on RT 30 that heads North you'll see a sign that says Mayfield business district. Green sign. School St is the roads name .Just before the turn there is a Gulf gas station on the left hand side of the road. Go down and cross the bridge..up a little hill and on top turn right on to Lakeside Drive. About a mile or two down the road you;'ll see a sign for the Marina.

Call me any time.

Looks like me and Mr.Clean will be leaving L.I. Friday around 5PM. So we'll go straight to the marina. :D

[Liqui-Fly]

Night cruise to the pub when you get there perhaps??

David

[eautosales]

i was going to show up sunday morning is that 2 late?

[Liqui-Fly]

Come to the Marina. Try to be there by 9 ish. Maybe we'll make a damn run.

Just like you were going to my house but keep going straight for about another 10 miles. Mapquest or another should get you there.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

If you can't reach me in time I will be at the marina. You can leave me a message at 518-661-6690 and my sister and bro-in-laws place.

518-661-6690 I would like to head to sand island by 10am Staurday morning so we can claim some territory.

David

[Tom D.]

David,
Where is the marina? If things don't pan out at camp grounds how do I get there from the camp grounds? Thanks!

Tom

[Liqui-Fly]

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Great to see you all....some for the first time; some once again. Couldn't ask for a better crowd wish we could do it for a straight month.

David

[PhastBoat]

Dave, had a great time!! :D Can't wait for the next one.
Maybe the Clam Bake:eek: :confused:

[Liqui-Fly]

Let me know on that they need a count next week....ticjkets are $32 but it is always worth it and then some. Food all day(burgers, franks, sausage, Chowda, 3 or 4 dozen clams raw or steamed and then a steak bake). Music and then fireworks and a bon fire.It's a bitter sweet weekend cause it's fun but it says goodbye to summer.

David

[at100plus]

thanks dave for organizing the event, for finding me all the time in that cellphone free environment, and for letting me test your props between thunderstorms on friday. i took a few pictures that i'll post under 'RONDAK ROMP PHOTOS'. please post or email me the ones you took of my flyby. Great bunch of guys. REALLY enjoyed the ride in that Skater (thank you Mac), can't wait to find me one. And it was a great bunch of guys.

Thanks

MIKE

[Liqui-Fly]

Mike I posted the best pic under Mr. Clean's thread but will e-mail you the rest once I download them. Looks like that Bullet Cut carried the Superboat real well. I think I'm going to invest in some superpower hand helds for communicating in the future. Phones are starting to work better up there...which is a shame ;) .

[Tom D.]

David,
Had a great time as always. Friday's storms washed out any boating for me. A little lighting put the Sheriff's boat out of commission when a tree fell on it. HEHEHE! Saturday was beautiful, hot sun and hot boats. During a walk around the island saw a seaplane take off, which was neat to watch. Also saw a couple of bi-planes doing loops and wing overs, that was cool also. Mostly though it was lookin at everbody's boats and chating about boats was the best. The ride back to the camp grounds was rough as hell though. Sunday's dam run was fun and the dip at the dam was refreshing. At some point during the run I broke part of my skeg off. I had it welded about 2 years ago and it snaped it off at the weld. I didn't even feel it at all because I don't run the motor that high. I noticed when pulling the boat out after the run.
At 100 plus,
It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife.
Helmut,
A pleasure meeting you and Brett. Zach and him really hit it off and if it wasn't for him all I would hear is "Can we go now." Thanks!
Phastboat,
Thanks for the dogs!
LOOKING FOWARD TO NEXT YEARS ROMP!!!


TOM

[Liqui-Fly]

Told ya you were running faster. Guess the smaller skeg gave ya less drag. Call Sam he'll instruct you on high tech skeg repair.:eek:

David

[PhastBoat]

[Tom D.]

Sam,
You kill me!
