1. I'm bringing my boat.

2. As the Master of the vessel, I decide who rides shotgun.

3. The shirt will not be in my possession. For the duration of my trip, it will be sealed securely in a Mason jar on Funk and Wagnall's back porch.

Man Mike-

You're really playing hardball.

On to plan B. I'm going to have to report you to ebay.

I won it fair and square for $.99

For the record, I'll be bringing down plenty of cheese for the road trip.  Anyone interested should pm me.  Greg, Deb shouldn't need a gas mask if we keep the doors shut and the windows sealed.  I can, however, bring her a SCBA unit w/extra bottles if that would make her feel more secure.

Kelley and Ken, check your pm's

Got it. Just let me know. And pray for continued rain. I'd like to see the lake come up about a foot or so.

I got mine also Brian.  See you next week for coffee and other things.

Can anyone tell me if this seems to be the right location?? Thank you!

This trip looks real possible for me this year if im correct above! Im getting very excited. Just wish i knew yall a bit better so i knew who everyone was if i got there.

Your end location is just a little North of Pickwick by a few miles but you're right in the ball park.  As for knowing people.  Spend time on the forum and you'll get to know some of those coming.  Sunday is check in time.  Name tags are handed out with the goodie bags (provided you've registered) and folks get to put faces to screen names.  Last year was my first year but I got to know quite a few folks well by the end of the week.  Great bunch of people.   8-)

Looks like Illinois will be well represented!

Question:

Are any of you that have already confirmed near an Academy Sport store?

Got a bunch of their stores near me.

Ken, the park is located just to the the southeast of Pickwick Dam.

Lat. - 35.0553 N

Long. - 88.2387 W

If you have Virtual Earth (a free download) you can see hi-res aerial images of the park.

Hey i wanna go to! lol. I live not far from pickwick and fish it occasionally with the jackson bass club I belong too . I do not have a boat at this time available to use. So i can be a non boater for someone. I know sevaral good spots.  

Planning on coming as well, will reserve a room if I can find someone to room with.  Send me a PM if interested.

Thought you said you weren't going!?!

Any problem with bringing a non BassResource friend? He has a nice boat and is a pretty good fisherman (won $700 bucks last weekend in a tournament) along with being a good guy. Plus, he's fished Pickwick many times.

It'd solve my "I don't have a boat" issue and room sharing. I've suggested he join BR several times but computers is just not his thing.

You can sign him up.

Everyone should be a member.

SammyLee, I'll ask the questions for RW.  He's kinda shy.  Does your friend have a sister?  Does she have her own boat?  If so, please PM RW with pictures of the boat.

Changing the subject somewhat, if your friend is too ignorant or too "busy" to become a member of this great forum, I suggest you get him to sign up.  As one of the Road Trip Coordinators, I tend to lose information provided by non-members.  I guess it's because I'm getting on in years.  :-/

Long Mike, you scare me.

Shhhhhhhhh....Our cabin will rock!

Blues, Smooth Jazz, C&W, Soul and maybe even a little Rap mixed

in with some Rock & Roll! Do you like George Benson? How 'bout

Sada?

Bring a sleeping bag. We'll have Metallica. Sabbath, heavy metal and rock going all night. And pancakes for breakfast. I think Mike just gets lonely after a day or two. Make sure you sleep on your back with one eye open.

When he's asleep, see if you can go through his stuff and snag my shirt for me.

No pancakes please, add Led Zeppilin. Did I ever tell anyone about the pancake issue?

Zep is in. Pancakes are out.

SammyLee, if your friend cant join, can he at least bring some of that $700 he won and pay the $50 reg fee?  And  a big container of some of that great Tenn pulled pork wouldnt be bad either.

Uncle Leo, tell us about the pancakes.

Long Mike, you scare me.

You should try spending a day in the boat with the old fart.

Uncle Leo, tell us about the pancakes.

It was ghastly, an experience which should not be repeated.
